Why is everyone acting as if the GitHub repo contains the original scripts?
Because they didn't bother to read or can't read the scripts.
I posted the Github link because it is better written and is the basis for the article.
A case study of HN-friendly clickbait based on an obviously fake story. Automatically performing a roll back of staging DB to latest backup by matching words "sorry" or "help" in an email from a DBA? Yeah, right.
Exactly my thought. No way this is real.
"If you believe that, I've got a bridge automation script to sell you"
hopefully without all the profanity and calling scripts about your wife, "smack-my-bitch-up.sh"
nah, i'll take it all as is. i'd bet money that you're more offended than his wife is.
luckily people from the land of the easily offended are so quick to condemn profanity and purge the world from it, otherwise I might grow up with some character.
Pretty sure it's a reference to The Prodigy.
There's nothing wrong with profanity.
Missing the "shut-the-fuck-up.sh" for sending an email to everyone with the subject "Urgent" when the office is too noisy and the "send-feedback-to-my-body.sh" to order lunch 12pm from a premium random selection :)
Had a good laugh :). Some things I'll maybe incorporate in my own day-to-day...
It's genius that he convinced journalists that a shell script can move cups from cupboards and milk from refrigerators. Or maybe it's a vending machine latte, which at least explain why the guy is full of rage.
This is pure gold. I now need to check if the coffee-machine at work is hackable.
Everything is hackable if you try hard enough.
Scan your network for telnet services.
Sending a timing context sms to your wife is now considered "job automation" ? Seriously ?!
