😡 What kind of Shitty Alerts are These? @HDFC_Bank @HDFCBank_Cares
An Information is different than an ALERT!
Stop this menace otherwise people will stop paying attention to your emails.

We hacked the AWS JavaScript SDK, a core library powering the entire @AWScloud ecosystem - including the AWS Console itself 🤯
How did we do it? Just two missing characters was all it took.
This is the story of #CodeBreach 🧵👇

Dear @JioCare ,
My plan ends on 17th Jan. Today is 13th Jan.
Since morning:
• You’ve already made 3 phone calls to me.
• And on top of that, every call I make is hijacked first by your recorded lecture
“Aapka recharge jald hi samapt hone wala hai… please recharge now” both in Hindi AND English.
I KNOW.
I WILL RECHARGE.
Why the hell am I being mentally spammed 3 days in advance, on every single call?
Dear @TRAI is this how customer experience is supposed to work?
Remind once. Not bully people all day.

I was standing in the queue for my O-1 visa interview at the Delhi US Embassy when I realized I might be missing a couple of documents that Google says are kind of important for O-1 approval.
The queue was already insanely long even for an 8AM slot, and there was no time to run to the market. I started panicking a bit.
Just then the guard casually goes: “Ma’am, just Blinkit.” (@letsblinkit is an instant delivery app in India.)
So while still standing in the queue, I uploaded my documents on the app. They got printed and delivered to me in 15 minutes, while I was still in the queue.
Saved my panic moment lol. Visa approved and stamped. Literally saved my day and truly served the best purpose of a last-minute delivery app :) In such moments, services in India feel like a real privilege!

India-specific innovation:
Saw this label on my Amazon parcel saying "if a pink dot appears do not accept"
Having worked in eCommerce for a decade, I instantly knew: People heat the seal to weaken the adhesive and steal the valuables inside while putting the blame on the eCommerce company. Sure enough, I heated the tape and it showed up the pink spots.
