21 days against the algorithm

21 days against the algorithm

1 min read

I built a leaderboard to map invisible developers. I mentioned them to celebrate.

The algorithm called it spam. Instant banned.

Three weeks of talking to bots. Tickets closed unread. You don’t exist if the machine says you don’t.

I kept knocking anyway. Finally, a human answered.

Account restored, however, still fighting for the student benefits.

Time to ship.
