I wrote a little script to constantly check for open appointments on ICBC (for license and motorcycle driving test slots). Has come in handy a few times already since usually everything is booked up months in advance. With this I usually find something much sooner within a few hours of running the script.

I am on a thinkpad using an external thunderbolt monitor with several peripherals linked to it. No sweat at all. Never had to install drivers for anything, webcam, wifi, bluetooth etc all works.

I use `git push -o ci.skip` all the time. Also things like ci.variable="DEPLOY_MODE=QUICK" is super handy when I do want to run a deploy in a specific configuration.

>.. by composing reusable actions, using an intuitive _declarative language_ and API.
Actions can safely be shared and reused thanks to a _complete package management system_ ..
That sounds horrible to me. Yet another abstraction layer and set of tools to do something that should be simple. Shell scripts inherently aren't bad. And I really don't see why they'll need more maintenance than using this new tool.
