SignalDrivenCode (@plainlogic24) reportedEvery senior dev: Java is bloated and terrible Also every senior dev: Maintains Netflix backend, PayPal, LinkedIn, half of Wall Street in Java We’re in a toxic relationship with Java and we can’t leave

Charlotte Muse (@charlottemusexo) reported@PossessedLettu1 Yeah, you are right i have faced that problem so many times but we still have to use the paypal cause then they think we are some kind of scammers haha

camomileee (@camomileVT) reported@FreddyFazbearVR @thesleepylulu Her PayPal is down atm so she can’t accept any money for preorders! I’m not sure if she fixed it but she’s the sweetest and isn’t a scammer!
-
BigErn (@BiggiePerms) reported@realroseceline Worth nothing pretty much all fintech and payment companies are down near lows. Look at Adyen, Nu, Meli, Paypal, Fiserv, and so on. Nu straight up said Q1 is seasonally Brazil's weakest quarter. I think it's a good opportunity to initiate or avg down in some of these names.

Termites (@TermitesRGood) reported@N1HawkLive @zachbussey So let me get this straight people that have their checking account attached to Twitch. It’s $100 now. But PayPal who charges 3% fee is 50. If that’s the case, a lot of streamers will never get paid maybe two or three months down the road People just don’t support small streamers every time you get ahead I used to be 30 average now it’s 5 avg and every time it seems like you’re getting head twitch turns around and screws you

Neru ✦ CMS OPEN (@neruuchi) reportedi keep forgetting about buying that emote bases whenever i got enough money on my paypal. i keep withdrawing it to gcash as soon as i received them out of fear that my paypal acc will experience the same trouble that some filipino artists are dealing with recently

Lewis, William... William (@WillLewis_1976) reported@CardPurchaser this is my opinion, and would like to see if others feel the same. Ever since Venmo started offering the immediate transfer option on accounts for the extra fee like Paypal has, Venmo then slowed down their free regular transfer method to try and push people into using it. It's bad customer service, just to make extra money. I never in the past had to wait more than 24-48 hours for my free transfers to go through despite it saying it could take 1-3 business days.

업사이드 (@upsidekr) reported@AskPayPal My fully verified US LLC account (Ref: PP-L-835645498456) was permanently banned immediately after submitting 100% legitimate IRS & State documents. Chat agents confirmed the docs were perfect. This automated ban is unacceptable. Fix this immediately.

Esco Obong (@escobyte) reportedWhat do Facebook, Uber, Airbnb, Stripe, Twitter, Shopify, Slack, and PayPal have in common? They all started as monoliths and relied heavily on monoliths for years after becoming unicorns. Do you actually have enough load on the system such that you need to scale the users service independently from the orders service? Can you not fit tens of millions of users, payments, products and orders in the same database cluster? Is your team so large that development velocity is an issue and you need seperately deployable services even when there’s no load scaling benefit just to alleviate operational scaling issues? The biggest benefit of a monolith is dead simple transactions. If your app does things like charging cards, updating inventory, or reserving cars/rooms, those actions need to succeed or fail all together. In a monolith, that’s easy: wrap them in a single database transaction. With microservices, you need distributed transactions or eventual consistency 💀. A saga pattern to coordinate failures and rollbacks across a chain of services. This is error prone, expensive infra, runs slower and takes months longer to develop/test. It also requires way more maintenance as the system evolves. It limits your velocity when introducing new concepts and flows which startups often need to do quickly. Start with a monolith. Get speed and correctness by default. For special needs like real-time streams or heavy compute loads, you can justify adding another service if it actually needs different composition of CPU, memory or storage that can scale independently from everything else. Each microservice is supposed to exist to solve a specific scaling or operational pain point. Let the real bottlenecks shape your architecture.

Natashia K (@TashiaLVQueen) reported@AskPayPal I can't access my account because I disputed a charge and I'm caught in a sign in failure loop. I have no service on my phone so I can't do the text verification. I need to use my card to buy things I need.

Priya Pareek (@iampriyapareek) reportedBanks would charge me crazy fees for international transfers, and the transfer times were unbearably long. PayPal had its own set of issues, like high exchange rates and complicated verification processes. living abroad.
