A developer’s Apple Account got banned after they used a compromised gift card, locking away their digital life.

An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system. It’s left them locked out of “20 years of digital life,” and it all started with the seemingly straightforward purchase of an Apple gift card.

    I think you’re forgetting that 90% of developers are barely competent at best.

    If this upsets the reader and reader’s a dev, remember I’m talking about the other people not you =)

      Yus.

      I develop software.

      I was not upset at that.

      I know I’m in the 10%.

      Not even barely competent.

        Hey I mean, honest self-awareness is far more respectable and admirable than blustering bullshit overconfidence and over inflated ego.

        "If your cup is full then there is no more room. There is no more room for anything new to get in for any new idea, for any new feeling or thought and so you just have to continue to empty that cup. Continue to pour out and then you have the space for something new to come in and it does require awareness, it does require a desire to be present and to want to figure these sorts of things out.”
