Please can you provide feedback to your web team that LOUD autoplaying videos are incredibly annoying and disruptive?

As I said, I think there's some potentially good messages in the article, I just find the sensationalist approach and the outright falsehoods in places to be a bit sad-making. I guess it'd be less good as an online article if it were more couched and balanced though :/
All in all it's very sad because the article has some good points related to producing integral changes which can be reviewed as a whole. But it's couched in so much sensationalist nonsense that the message gets lost.

I'll admit that beyond that, I just give up. There's an assumption that engineers are unable to operate Git efficiently, which is sad, and that by piling up loads of semi-unrelated changes on one branch you get something you can confidently submit for review which seems odd.

First sentence of the fourth paragraph of the next section about how engineers don't work on easily broken down work just suggests that author's workplace doesn't do a good job of work planning and this leads them to make a sweeping statement which is false.

As an example, in the "First, Pull Requests" section, the last sentence of the first paragraph and the first sentence of the second paragraph are demonstrably false.

I've had to try several times to read the article due to the number of outright lies and miscommunications in the first few sections. In the end I had to stop because: whether or not "Stacked Diffs" are any good, the supercilious ultracrepidation overruled any possible value.

I've noticed that sometimes C-. doesn't focus the menu properly, and that a new tab doesn't focus the URL bar properly, but I figured that might be one of my addons playing up.

Alternatively could I please export a PDF of *just* the items marked as expenses? Rather than everything?

@monzo I don't appear to be able to screenshot my expenses out of the app, nor can I find a setting to disable the prevention of screenshotting (Android). If there something I can do so I can get the screenshots for my expenses?

Whenever we do that among ourselves thus-far we use a horrid spreadsheet which we've had for years titled "The reckoning"
