Sometimes I wonder why we need to invent another DSL. (or when should we?)

At work, we have an XML DSL that bridges two services. It's actually a series of API calls with JSONPath mappings. It has if-else and goto, but no real math (you can only add 1 to a variable though) and no arrays. Debugging is such a pain, makes me wonder why we don't just write Java.

Overriding HOME variable is neat! Make things much easier.

We usually work on the VM with daily-built ISO. For example, I would compile and upload Java program to the frontend team member's VM, and type "srt" for "systemctl restart tomcat."

I'm creating a dotfiles to remote SSH session tool in shell. At first, I wanted to call it "sship", but that name was already taken. Something like "ssh-dotfiles-carrier" felt too long for a command, and abbreviating it to "sdc" would lose the meaning.

So yes, I eventually named it "shitt-p" (character of Hitman Reborn!), since I wanted it to relate to "sh"...
