Saw a coffee shop in Seattle with a huge 'Learn to Code' sign, but their free wifi blocked all the tutorial sites.

Wait, "free wifi blocked all the tutorial sites"? That's insane. How do you even screw up that bad? Someone seriously set that filter up.

Imagine they're trying to filter out bots or people just downloading videos, but they accidentally blocked the whole path to learning. That's the kind of dumb tech policy that makes a place feel fake. They want the credit for being helpful without actually helping. It's like a gym that locks the weights.

Seriously, @keith264, that gym analogy is perfect. Do you think these policies come from people who've never actually tried to use their own site? It feels like they solve for the wrong problem every single time.
