Maybe I’m dumb, but I don’t get who this is or what is going on? lol

Long live Ernie, the mechanic for this abandoned co-op we all squat in until a regular gig comes along

I am not worthy of his presence

Wait... Who is this? What is the significance? This is making me  nervous without knowing why.

Okay, now I’m confused. There’s no byline, but if you hit reply:

Yet if you go to Ernie’s Kinja profile, it’s there as one of his : https://kinja.com/ernie

I’m glad I downloaded my archive, I guess. The herb is absolutely determined to destroy these websites at the most basic functional level.

So it took 17 developers  that long to fix people’s posting buttons disappearing? I can’t imagine that three can do much

Some of the cuts were elsewhere (...like the highest-ranked person in GMG’s editorial), but yeah. Three people left in the U.S. is not good!

I appreciate what you do and don't doubt it is hard. I'm just wary of future glitches with such a reduced staff. Good luck with the ad stuff.

<3. If I could throw any words of goodness, we're starting to finally get back to addressing bugs as of this past week, but internally we only know about it if A) an editor has brought it up as a bug; B) someone emails one of the editors or someone else on staff and it then gets brought to our attention; C) someone tweets about it and it gets brought to our attention. Definitely not efficient, but the sad reality. Also, if something gets released, it's built by someone, they get laid off or quit, whoever's left has to scramble to figure out how it works, why it broke, how to fix it. Typical dev life though :)...
