  • LabSplice Matthew Roland (@LabSplice) reported

    @mbmcandrews @HBOMaxHelp It’s the worst feeling in the world, and all you can do is sit back and wait for the angry emails to roll in.

  • JulesDoesTech Jules 🏳️‍🌈 (@JulesDoesTech) reported

    @FlynnUnplugged @hbomax Oh I got one too and wanted to reply, “blink twice if you need help.”

  • YungMoney1818 ry (@YungMoney1818) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp did all of this. Doesnt work. refund me

  • richburroughs Rich Burroughs (@richburroughs) reported

    @sashinka14 @SupergirlofSF @hbomax It said integration test, it’s a part of software development when you test components together. Obviously an error in their system.

  • tonyvila Tony Vila (@tonyvila) reported

    @fancycwabs @hbomax I work with the HBO Max team and I’m glad to say it wasn’t me. I don’t know who, but I’ve been that guy before (albeit in a much smaller scale) and I don’t envy them their anxiety right now.

  • goddamnitruss Russell Cook (@goddamnitruss) reported

    @JamesGunn @hbomax Ayyy I got one too. Does that mean I work on #Peacemaker plz dear god tell me that’s what it means.

  • TheIAMNinja Christina (@TheIAMNinja) reported

    @krubner @SnowWolfDesign You posted half your login to @hbomax on a public social media platform when HBO doesn’t offer 2FA or MFA for account protection. Brute forcing your password to gain access to your account would take me *maybe* three or four days max. I would rethink your plan, my friend.

  • iamrockyclark Rocky Clark (@iamrockyclark) reported

    @randyhollowaysd @hbomax That’s a rough day at work

  • onewayout85 Josh (@onewayout85) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Maybe now you can take a pause and fix your damn UI......

  • sidx1024 Sid (@sidx1024) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @QuinnyPig If your access control allows an "intern" to send out emails to your customers in production, it's not the "intern" that needs help.

  • duanejeffers Duane Jeffers (@duanejeffers) reported

    Joke all you want about @hbomax 's Integration Email #1 being sent out by mistake. But, you gotta hand it to them, their subscriber base just made it a trending topic. You really can't buy that sort of buzz, and it makes people completely ignore the app issues from last week.

  • stillpixel Ron Rattie (@stillpixel) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @brianstelter It's only appropriate now that error messages not include "blame {intern's name}" from here on out.

  • wfederman Will Federman (@wfederman) reported

    @SeanDKennedy @hbomax Product team is in trouble

  • Sam__Bramley Sam Bramley (@Sam__Bramley) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp It's bold that you are letting interns work with production data. I support it

  • ryancollins_io Ryan Collins (Saasy) (@ryancollins_io) reported

    I am reflecting on the integration test I just got from @hbomax and thinking about the worst blunders I’ve made in my career as a Software Engineer. #Developers / #coders / #Engineers what is the worst blunder you’ve ever made at work?

  • DJPlaZma Jim Ferris! (@DJPlaZma) reported from Jeffersontown, Kentucky

    @Cthulhu23 @Humanstein That App! It makes me want to throw the remote! Worst navigation of ALLLL the streaming apps. @hbomax

  • zratul Zratatouille@東京 (@zratul) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Nice throwing him under the bus. If an intern could do that then it's your system that is the issue.

  • variableLabel variableLabel (@variableLabel) reported

    @CountVice @HBOMaxHelp @HBO Error 0:success

  • DragSlayerVlogs DragonSlayer Productions (@DragSlayerVlogs) reported

    @KarelHering @hbomax Do you get a service code error if you watch a TV show for a long time. I been getting one and don't know how to fix it.

  • MusicToMyEars5 Emily Hall (@MusicToMyEars5) reported

    when you work for @hbomax and thought the integration test email was a work email

  • ka_tetof19 Ka-tet19 (@ka_tetof19) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @DerfelMacGuffin Make The Dark Tower. Call @glenmazzara and get to work. That's where the gold is.

  • Bella_Zuppa razorgirl (@Bella_Zuppa) reported

    Hey @hbomax, any word on a fix for the app not working for the Comcast X1 box?

  • mbmcandrews Mary Beth McAndrews (@mbmcandrews) reported

    @LabSplice @HBOMaxHelp this happened to us at work once and needless to say we were all Very Stressed Out

  • GuilleCummings G. (@GuilleCummings) reported

    @MKorn19 @hbomax I just wish I were in the room when the person who hit send, and then noticed his error, said “oh no.”

  • repeatingbeats Steve Lloyd (@repeatingbeats) reported

    @sixwing @hbomax I would love to hire someone who made this kind of mistake. I bet this person improves systematic processes at every organization they work in for the rest of thier life.

  • knothead02 Kristin Fitzsimmons (@knothead02) reported

    @ChloeCondon @hbomax And something like this doesn’t happen because one person makes a mistake. If our systems depend on individuals never making mistakes, we’ve got issues! (Speaking as someone who broke a thing in **** last week by making one mistake!)

  • mpressmeredith Meredith Tarr (@mpressmeredith) reported

    The AppleTV issues are getting all the press, but @HBOMax has been sucking royally lately on Roku too, you know

  • cainwill Will Cain (@cainwill) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp If true then at least we know HBO lets interns work on real stuff. HBO, let the intern help figure out how to prevent this for next time; that’s a massive learning opportunity there.

  • jayesspea Jonathan (@jayesspea) reported

    @WealthyCFO @HBOMaxHelp 2nd worst thing that can be done. First is replying all on a corporate email.

  • runtcpip Morgan | runtcpip.com | hiatus? (@runtcpip) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Having never done an internship, people going "Why were they allowed to do ANYTHING" is bewildering. How would they learn about a system by getting coffee and repeating "synergy" in a boardroom? They didn't send addresses or login info, just a test email. Mistakes happen.
