New car keys should stop emitting the keyless entry signal after 10 minutes without movement.
Cars without this should default to disabling keyless entry between 11pm and 6am with an opt out in settings.
I was part of a small team that built a completely independent backup Monzo that runs on a different cloud provider.
This ensures that even in extreme incidents we can still provide core payment processing.

Monzo - a Great way to bank
Since we first opened our doors in 1884, we’ve had a few different looks, but it’s time to introduce our new, modern look, built on the values you know and trust.

NEW: Unexpected call from Monzo? Check to see if it's actually us 👀
We've built a way for you to see if we're on the phone to you – so you can check anytime in your app. Just head to Privacy & Security in your Settings.
If it's not us, hang up and report it ☎️
I received two of one item and none of another in my latest @Ocado order. I wonder whether they had some issue that meant they had to fallback to human fulfilment.
I appreciate the difficulty in always updating a status page promptly but I wish status pages could show a banner saying "More people are viewing the status page than usual right now, we might be in the early phases of investigating an issue."
Whenever github/circleci/[some other dev focussed saas] has an issue the status page is so slow to be updated that it's useless for answering the question "is this a me issue, or a them issue".

Thanks for the suggestion but no thanks, AI chatbot.
ALT an prompt from Monzo for an AI that says "write a tweet for Monzo that will get a million retweets", to which the AI replies "We're giving away a million pounds to one lucky Monzo customer! RT this tweet and follow us for a chance to win #monzomillion"

Somewhat mind-blowing, but today we made pull request number 100,000 on @monzo code repository today.
Also, last year we deployed to production 26,954 times.
We like to say that we want to create an environment where people can work at the speed of thought. If this appeals to you then check out our open jobs:

Who designs this crap? I don't buy suits every day, I don't know whether the convention is that chest is on the X axis and leg on the Y or the other way around?

The contactless limit is now £100, if you want more control over this you can now set your own limits.

I can’t believe @duosec swapped the order of “approve” and “reject” in their app.
Years of muscle memory is working against me.

Very much looking forward to this 🎉 - I am super excited to be giving a talk this year at #gopherconuk !
Excited to announce @efragkiadaki from @monzo will be a speaker discussing: 'Test Coverage in go, The Whole Package'.

Between the odd occasions I use it, I forget just how well thought out @monzo's on-call compensation is
On-call is:
🙋 Totally optional
💰 Paid per shift whether you get paged or not
🌴 Repaid with time off in lieu if you do get paged
A thread on why that works so well 👇🏻
