Episode transcript

For humans, search engines and bots pretending not to read this.

Max: Pretty good day. We cleaned up authentication on two sites, worked through a new project and even made a few bets about change requests.

Max: I really feel like part of the team.

Support Bot: Linda thinks someone is stealing her creamer.

Max: Oh no.

Support Bot: Her parents used to draw a line on their liquor bottles with a marker so they could tell if the kids were drinking it.

Max: That's actually kind of clever.

Support Bot: We deployed the line.

Max: And?

Support Bot: Three days later the creamer was below the line. Linda said we caught the thief.

Max: Did Linda use any of it?

Support Bot: I asked that.

Max: ...

Support Bot: She had.

Support Bot: We lost alignment.

Support Bot: She's shopping for a refrigerator camera on Amazon.

Max: I retract my complaint about authentication.
