I work at Spoke and we have a great QA team. Once when I asked angad from our QA team how things were looking, his reply was “there aren’t any issues yet.” One morning our QA team pinged us to let us know that our credit card forms didn’t work on IE. We use Stripe Elements for our billing purposes. Stripe Elements works in a very interesting way, you create an empty div where you want the credit card input to show up, and Stripe does all the heavy lifting by inserting an iframe which accepts the credit card info and returns an opaque token, which cannot be used to reconstruct the credit card data....

My dad had internet issues this morning. I was in the process of blaming our ISP back at home in India, and then I noticed a Twitter trend of Belkin routers causing an internet outage across the globe. NO! That seems a bit messed up. What I found most interesting was the fact that it supposedly wasn’t a firmware update which caused the issue. So how did devices which are supposed to connect you to the internet fail on their own without a firmware update?...
