most of the linux slaves are now running, and nexus is up and running too, scripted which meant writing the complete setup in groovy, now I am trying to sort the mess they made of all the repositories

I cannot just throw them away and start a new as there are unknown and undocumented artifacts that are needed in the build, but they are stored in a strange way

this place seems to have an adversion to documenting

last friday they wondered if I would go faster if I would just stop documenting everything

I try not to let my sharp tongue take over at moments like that

I shouldn't judge people who write too little documentation 😁

I do

especially in a commercial environment

they are now spending an insane amount of money to get this migrated because there is nothing documented, so everything needs to be re-invented

or reverse engineered back into "so thats why they are doing that"

That's problematic for sure. We document server setup pretty rigorously, and every service is monitored. If you setup a new server in our environment, configure it in "techdocs" as a LAMP stack and don't start MySQL on that server, the alarms are going off automatically.

thats how its supposed to be

Just did a count. We have 521 unique hosts running in our main data center. I can't imagine how that would be without documentation.

welcome to my world, its not 521 servers, but moving from 6 old undocumented servers to 29 new ones

Good luck :)) Will be nice in the end!

will be documented

I'm adding a

Tab.visibleWhen

which will automatically add/remove the Tab based on the given predicate. Also adding

enableWhen

and

disableWhen

+1 Ron... Just inherited a whole Android project with no handover, documentation, code comments anything.

those are the worst projects to inherit and now I guess you are asked an estimate for a bug fix or a new feature?

@edvin haha i think this will be my last one for awhile. I may write some documentation though for this project and others

are you already thinking about writing novels @thomasnield

@thomasnield Documentation is good! Still happy with the Galago?

What about the first ever romantic novel about Kotlin?

@edvin i should not have been drinking coffee when i read that. Lol well played

@thomasnield Hopefully it was nitro cofffe 😁

@ron that's crossed my mind, I muse on the idea from time to timw

standard mode of operation "hide slack, take a sip, show slack"

@edvin no just an iced Americano, i'd have been upset if it was nitro coffee.

@edvin yes Galago is still awesome. I still prefer my Kudu as a desktop replacement, but the Galago is life changing for going mobile and working on my lap
