Drupal 8 work meeting with Eric D, Eric G, Jayson J, Left gear in the conference room. Lunch at Crafty Fox with Austen, Vanessa, Alyssa, ?, Dana, John K, Eric D, Jayson J, and James H. Almost everyone got the fried chicken sandwich with fries lunch special for $12. $13.02 before a $1 tip. Returned to MCB to pick up gear. Rode UberX from UCSF Mission Center Building to UCSF Laurel Heights. Telephone meeting with Katherine K: content metadata. Watched Chris Coyier's terrific video talk called Ooops, I guess we're full-stack developers now on YouTube. It's an overview with many great animated visuals of how front-end development has changed over the years with many front-end developers empowered by Javascript tools to handle more than just the front-end portion of the development stack. Troubleshot why my MacBook Pro doesn't seem to be sleeping as expected when the lid is closed. Walked and rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick. We placed an order with Uber Eats. After I placed the order I noticed that somehow the app had an incorrect delivery address. Somehow it had an address one door down. I tried and failed to find a way to resolve this in the app. I called Uber and spent 8 minutes trying to resolve the problem and in the end was told to message the driver when he approached or meet him at the other door. The entire time we waited for the delivery we weren't sure if it would be received successfully, causing anxiety. In the end I met the driver at his car and it was received successfully. I think that because Uber uses (or used in the past?) GPS to determine your current location to offer a suggestion for the pickup address somehow it saved the nearby address. But when ordering, an address that's one digit off looks quite similar to our correct address, and it is easily overlooked, especially if you're hungry, and especially if you have successfully received deliveries from Uber Eats in the past. Uber Eats could improve by not offering a GPS suggestion unless it is easily correctable and by not saving GPS suggestions and by enabling users to delete incorrect addresses. (There's currently no way to delete an incorrect address so that you don't accidentally select it in the future.) Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from Jika Ramen via Uber Eats: chicken kaarage, wonton and shrimp dumpling ramen, bbq pork chow mein. $39.46 after a $4 tip. We enjoyed the food. To bed early.
