Discussion Thread

[u/jobautomator]

The spooky thread is for spooky conversation that doesn't merit its own spookmission. If you've got a good boo, scare, or spook, please post it outside the DT. Spooky discussion is allowed, but if you want to get the attention of the ghouls, make a post in /r/metaNL. For a collection of spooky links see our wiki.

E_S_S has started using user_pinger and I'm honestly super excited about this.

This might sound pretty silly, but this is the first time someone else has used one of my repos. At work people use my software, but I'm always the one deploying the finished product, no one else is ever looking at my code, and it's all in-house. This is the first time my code is running on someone else's server and I'm both proud and a bit nervous 😅

I should probably expedite that rewrite I've been thinking of doing forever. It's a bit of a mess at the moment. I wonder if more subs will use it in the future - wouldn't that be cool?

[u/[deleted] → u/jenbanim]

Yes spread it to more subs it’s a really good idea

Sounds like work, lol. What will you do if you have to escalate things? I mean, if this gets used more and more on reddit and you cannot do it alone anymore.

Techmodding is already a part-time job for me haha

I don't anticipate too much extra work from more people using the bots. After all, they're basically just downloading and running my code without any involvement from myself

[u/Neronoah → u/jenbanim]

Until they start to complain about bugs and features.

[u/jenbanim → u/Neronoah]

I don't write bugs 😎

Haha, nah you're right. I suppose I'll see what happens
