@molaram code....comments?

@nanobot I thought that's where this was going. Lol

Lol @ motherfuckenly

@ScriptCoded oh my bad. I didn't realize I tagged this as "rant".

@Lor-inc I'm using Tasker on Android. Programmable automation. I've heard of other apps that do what I've described, but Tasker is all around general purpose automation for your phone.

@ScriptCoded ?? What is?

@Bubbles I agree. Ruby has great aesthetics to its code structure. You can definitely automate with it the way you can with any other scripting language.

I think I started shying away from it because the libraries in comparison to Python just weren't there. But is absolutely a solid language.

I was doing security research that I presented at defcon and just needed to code quickly...with library support. Maybe I just didn't research it well enough. I'm comfortable with both.

@Bubbles I use a combination of Linux bash scripting and Python. I guess that's pretty standard? I used to get shit for being a big Ruby guy. Whatever gets the job done.

Automation IS beautiful! I think it's one of the aspects of computing that really highlight the reason we have them.

@netikras well yes and no. The automation I write replaces myself. I try not to mess with anyone else. The motivation had always come from co-workers/supervisors waiting until the last minute to request something. Like, deadline tomorrow? Let's tell Chen today!

So, I was like...."it's the same everywhere. This isn't going to change. F*** it."

I started automating whatever I could. Anything and everything. Installs went from an hour down to 10 minutes (with configuration). That was before I got into DevOps. My 8-hour work day eventually turned into 2 hours of answering emails and initiating scripts.

Then, I left for this job...and now found my dialed in points of automation.

@endor this is True. I have connections with my previous employer and the automation eventually breaks down when not maintained.

@alexbrooklyn nothing "happened". I actually enjoy automating anything I can. That's my real joy. It usually takes me a few months to dial in the repetitive tasks and then I start to replace myself. It's becoming a neat hobby. :-)

Cloud-hosted IoT

@spongessuck yes. Only shortened by the reality of my comment.

@alexbrooklyn I have no stress..... I can't speak to how the target app feels....yet :-P

@alexbrooklyn not in the slightest. I promise no deadlines.

Push everything to master.

...joking. don't @ me

@Robinha I have given up on winning today.

@Fast-Nop I *could* do that. I find entertainment in cutting at the edges.

I was in the same position about 2 months ago. No way to move up. Everything automated.

Now I'm in the AWS cloud, and I am so far behind. Climbing the mountain though. Then, I'll go back to automating whatever I can. It's just a cycle.

@Alice joke perhaps?

Hahaha I tried to +=2 this.

Holy shit. At first I was like "where the braces at?"

Geezus

@px06 best headphones I've ever had!!

@Aitkotw more accurately, my code implementation :-/

@karma yeah. It's not bad actually.

This is one of the only things I hate about Google. How do you have ONE very well known search engine and then a bajillion apps for one, albeit dynamic, function?

They suck.

But, reverse tunnel ftw!

Every. Time. -_-

I didn't know what github's mascot was. Octocat.... Makes sense.

Side note, I think you have doomed me to weight gain :-)
