Inserted ‘taunts’ in the code, including references to “grok”

Uh. OK.

I mean, I understand the Heinlein word, but what does that have to do with his motivation?


This reminds me of some Ohio Christian university advertising racial diversity in all their media, and some guy exposed them as having exactly three non-white students, all whom turned out to be shills from another country who were technically employees.



It was all python, ruby, bash, and ansible


This right here. Plus stuff like “this is the functions section” and “this is the main script” helps make shell scripts more readable because functions have to come first, and if you just want to get to the main point, you can skip the functions section.


I had a boss who hated comments because he wanted “clean code,” and that comments means you aren’t using the wiki. The build approval process actually stripped out all comments via a script.

Then we lost the wiki.
