I’m a researcher at a medical company, and wrote a bash script that would make it easier to use Google Cloud buckets. Well, I shared it with some coworkers and my manager, and they like it enough that I was asked to present it to the rest of the department!
congrats! (really!) now come the support requests ;-)
Lol yea I’m expecting that in the near future, but I was a former QA tester before I got this job. I did my best to anticipate edge cases, but I know exactly how it goes
Write out the documentation for it now while the script is simple and get it into source control.
People are only going to want to add more things to it and when you decide to leave you don’t want people calling you about it after a decade.
I wrote some help flags for the functions, do you think that’s sufficient?
That’s amazing and really cool! Congratulations! I would be so proud of myself if I was in your shoes. It’s a nice feeling of accomplishment when you make something that others validate the value of.
