I have a tool that I wrote, probably 5+ years ago. Runs once a week, collects data from a public API, translates it into files usable by the asterisk phone server.

I totally forgot about it. Checked. Yep, up to date files created, all seem in the right format.

Sometimes things just keep working.

the final part of that is "written by person that left the company ten years ago"

I don't see the alias in your .bashrc

yeah, um, about that. I have no idea where it comes from. We can type alias and see what it is, so if it's ever lost, we can recreate it, but I looked for 30 minutes yesterday even did a grep -R and I have NO IDEA where it comes from, or why it's named electricboogaloo

OK, I got called out

My current project has a crontab with 216 entries.

Suck my dick O’Leary

Nah bro, that bash alias is FULLY documented in .bashrc! Idiot.

I'll hear NO aspersions against my precious Cron!

Cron is magic. Cron is civilization!

Since I'm somewhat of a simpleton... isn't that how pipelines actually work? The only difference being, they're all (scripts) available from a centralized system and triggered i.e. with webhooks?

Instead of a local script on a server, the system opens i.e. a ssh session and runs the script step by step remotely?

So is that the joke or am I missing something?

I feel attacked

Oh man, you guys should see what I was cooking up at my old place.

Head office too shitty to give us an actual asset management solution, but we did have full access to the Microsoft suite, so i used a SharePoint lists as databases, powerapps apps running on iPads for all the data entry ux and then like two dozen hacked together power automate flows linking them all together as well as taking any Info out of the actual IT systems head office used and since we didn't have API access to those system any data feeding back in to them would be in the form of automated emails that the poor 1st line techs in head office would have to sort through and process manually.

I know there's a meme here, but as a Canadian, I'm sorry about that traitorous asshat.

Yes

This used to be my remote work wardrobe. But now I dress more casually.
