Hey kids, do you want to know what's cool and hip?

Writing scripts to formalize and encode domain specific procedures related to development and sharing it within the entire team is cool!

Readmes with step-by-step guides are highly overrated.

This 100%!!
The only way to make it better is to have documentation on the forementioned scripts to introduce to the domain itself.

@HitWRight i 100% believe in this but so far having a really hard time selling it to my team 😨 they believe it is better to memorize a specific set of git, docker-compose and kubectl commands to run for different, very, repetetive tasks because they think the scripts are overly complicated.

@hobblin rough, man. I've seen similar situations on other teams. Years went by, until someone from QA showed that they already have a build/deployment script, that does handle all the logic they need.
All the new and intermediate developers quickly jumped to using the script, although old wolves continued typing away.
At one point the script became de facto way to deploy as soon as it was used by the greater part of the team.
Documentation suffered, tho.
The whole thing took around 2 years.
Good luck with trying to prove others that those scripts are worth it. 😉

@HitWRight yeah, I'll probably just try to sneak the scripts in and maintain them until people start using them 😜
