|
|
7 get people to send you a file with, say, a "one-off" script, they will
|
|
8 probably hard code a bunch of stuff in it. Then, you're not really
|
|
9 sure what needs to be changed and because you're human you might make
|
|
10 a mistake. Worse, its a perl script and you're a python programmer.
|
|
11 You don't know what that script does!
|
|
12
|
|
13 And this is the time of the iceberg. If it really is a one-off, who
|
|
14 cares? But quickly one-offs become a deployment story, and not a very
|
|
15 efficient one.
