@MammaNeedHummus I'm gonna talk to my boss about it, he's been here A LOT longer than me and might have some idea on where to start in automating those checks even if he hasn't done these tasks himself in years.
He's also a lot more accepting of me spending time on random automation stuff than my direct manager is, so I'll definitely get approval to look into it even if he doesn't have an idea of where to start.
I saw a thing was already define on the front-end and just went ahead and assigned it to the necessary orgs
Few hours later our process for that thing failed on 3/4 instances. The last I already setup a couple weeks ago for testing. Turns out there's 2 things with really similar names on those instances so when I decided to not fucking check, the wanted thing was never defined so it couldn't process
Welp I'm messaging my boss tomorrow morning to see how bad this is, then unassigning the existing thing before defining the correct one
Fucking hell why did I not verify the definition. Would've taken less than 30 fucking seconds for all instances. Thankfully this is still technically in testing. But fuck I'm pissed at myself
