If it's not us, hang up and report it ☎️

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"

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 👇🏻
1/7

Just astonishing: A few hours before the Bellingcat investigation was published, Navalny called up one of the men implicated in the poisoning, posing as an aide to the FSB chief, and essentially extracted a confession from him.

Interested in locking down egress traffic with @kubernetesio? We've written a blog post about how we solved this at @monzo, using @EnvoyProxy, @corednsio and an operator.

No software process is perfect -- not even agile!
What matters most:
- Are people working on the right things?
- Are they working effectively?
That's it. Too many teams follow agile to such a granular precision they lose the forest for the trees. 🌲
Question everything.

Mandatory password expiration is a wonderful example of why we should rely on science instead of intuition. It seems like an obviously useful thing to require—but study after study has shown force password changes to be counterproductive.

Hey @AskHalifaxBank 👋
It's great to see your updated brand identity, but it looks like you forgot to update couple of things.
The card in the photo still displays the @monzo BIN (5355 22) and the name of one of our staff members... 😉
