I got a spam call earlier today, just after I'd merged staging into an older feature branch. When the scammer came on the line and asked me how I was doing, I told him I was dealing with merge conflicts. He asked what I meant by merge conflicts, so I started to explain. For some reason, he hung up on me.
@alexhall I've heard asking them for help deciding which funeral you should attend works as well.
@dhamlinmusic I love that idea! I'll have to remember it for next time.
@alexhall Yeah and its fun as you can kill off all sorts of fictional relatives and the like.
@alexhall So rude… he could’ve at least volunteered for the code review
@alexhall I like pretending I'm stupider than usual. Wasting spammers time is a social benefit.
@alexhall Yaaaaay! Great way to feck them off!
