I'm currently studying Computer Science, with a focus on software development, algorithms, and data structures. I'm also exploring topics like artificial intelligence and machine learning. I’m working on my thesis right now which is developing a new system, including developing a web application to track scores for students . I’ve been diving into languages like Python, JavaScript, CSS for various projects. I’m focused on becoming a full-stack developer and eventually working backend but want to pursue full stack developer. I aim to gain practical experience, enhance my problem-solving skills, and collaborate with like-minded individuals in the community. By being part of this community, I hope to learn from others, share my experiences, and grow my network with fellow developers. |

Hi everyone! 👋I'm Gabriela Torres. I’m currently studying Data Science and I already have a degree in Nursing. In my job, I’ve always loved creating new strategies by analyzing data. I’ve always been passionate about technology and often thought about exploring a new profession. Two years ago, I decided to follow my dream and started a second degree at Univesp. There, I’m diving into the foundations—like theory, math, and logic—while also improving my practical skills through courses in Python for Data Science, Power BI, and SQL. Joining this community is another great step to keep learning and practicing even more! Right now, my friends and I are working on a project to track health records at my current job. I'm also building dashboards to make it easier for my team and I to understand and monitor our healthcare processes. Every day, I feel more certain that I’ve found something I truly love! I’m looking forward to new opportunities to learn and connect with others who are passionate about the same things. Let’s go! 🚀 |

Bom dia. 🧱 Construindo minha jornada, um tijolo por vez. Sempre tive um pé na tecnologia através da infraestrutura e redes FTTH 🌐. Eu adorava entender como os dados viajavam, mas chegou um momento em que senti vontade de fazer mais: eu queria aprender a criar o que estava sendo transportado. Hoje, estou mergulhando na Engenharia de Software 💻. Tem sido um desafio incrível! 🛠️ O que tem na minha bancada de estudos: Organizando a casa: Entendendo a diferença entre a estrutura do PostgreSQL 🐘 e a flexibilidade do MongoDB 🍃. Tudo no seu lugar: Descobrindo o poder do Docker & Docker Compose 🐳 para que meus projetos rodem lisinho em qualquer lugar, sem aquela bagunça de "na minha máquina funciona". "O importante não é saber tudo hoje, mas ser um pouquinho melhor do que ontem." |

Context: I signed up for a GitHub trial (GitHub Pro / Copilot), where I was told a small verification charge (~$10) would be momentary and immediately released. GitHub’s handling of this charge is frankly unacceptable. This was not a “temporary” hold in any meaningful sense. The authorized amount has now been locked for a week—and can reportedly last up to 30 days—despite being presented as something that would be reversed almost instantly. GitHub Support claims the refund was processed “right away,” but this is misleading. In practice, GitHub delegates the release of the authorization to a financial intermediary, fully aware that this is not an immediate process. Describing that as “momentary” is simply inaccurate. After speaking with my bank, the situation is clear: the hold has not been released in a way that makes the funds available. There are only two ways forward—either wait for the authorization to expire (which can take up to 30 days), or have GitHub explicitly confirm to the bank that the hold should be released. This is the key issue: it should not be the customer’s responsibility to resolve this. If GitHub initiates the authorization, then GitHub should also ensure its timely release—without requiring users to chase their own money through banking procedures. In practice: GitHub claims it’s been handled For anyone on a tight budget, this is not a minor inconvenience—it directly affects day-to-day expenses. If GitHub knows these authorizations can persist for weeks, then calling them “momentary” is misleading and should be corrected. Users deserve clear, honest expectations about how long their money may actually be unavailable. This situation reflects poorly on both the transparency and accountability of GitHub’s billing practices. |

GitHub’s handling of this “temporary” charge is frankly unacceptable. I was explicitly told that a small verification amount (~$10) would be briefly held and then immediately released. Instead, that “momentary” hold has now lasted several days—long enough to materially affect my ability to cover basic expenses as a student at the end of the month. GitHub Support claims the refund was processed “right away” and shifts responsibility to the bank. However, after speaking directly with my bank, I’ve been told that GitHub did not properly release the reservation - the hold effectively lasts as long as Github can get away with it (in my case 30 days). That is not a reasonable user experience for what was advertised as a simple, temporary verification. If GitHub knows that these “temporary” holds will persist for 30 days, then presenting them as harmless, instantly reversed checks is misleading. At minimum, users should be clearly warned that funds may be unavailable for an extended period. For anyone else experiencing this: if you can’t remove the hold yourself, my bank advised Github should send a request confirming they want the reservation deleted - they havent so far though. This situation reflects poorly on both the transparency and the practical handling of billing processes. |
