Yes, basically if I could peek into your activity for a day it would be awesome (I'm not asking that, although I would like it :P :)). I'm just curious of what a day's work looks like.



Typical day is actually mostly working to go around corporate "security" limitations that restrict everybody to not being able to do much for fear they will do harm.

The last few days:

- we have a commercial ssh bastion that requires direct ssh login and then input ip address. So no dns available for sshing. I wrote a bash autocomplete script that resolves dns host entries and uses expect to automatically input the ip in the bastion. This is especially important to be able to run ansible.

- our gitlab has it's ssh filtered because "security". So you can only use a security token over http. This prevents us from being able to use git submodukes, as the token would be in ckear commited to the parent rep. So I wrote a make file to compose the project, basically a poor man git submodules.

You might find all the above trivial, and it is. But it keeps the work flowing and devips more junior than I have no clue about make files, expect, etc.


Thank you! Yes, that was my suspicion as well.
