  • Is your company the one with the golden fax machine that always flawlessly sends an recieves?

    No seriously. We are a tech heavy company. The only not tech savvy persons are law and HR (in numbers: two people). Same for most of our customers. And I hear this shit break left and right several times a day. I wonder what your company does right that nearly every other one does wrong. Probably restricting this bloatware enough to make it work.

    • random switching of audio devices
    • users end up in different rooms when they join the same meeting
    • substellar editing of planned meetings
    • marking messages as read without the user ever clicking on the channel

    and let me not start with the android client or the non existing support for linux users

  • Yeah, if it feels like a transaction would be helpful, at least go for pl/sql and save yourself some pain. Bash is for system maintenance, not for business logic.

    Heck, I wrote a whole monitoring system for a telephony switch with nothing more than bash and awk and it worked better than the shit from the manufacturer, including writing to the isdn cards for mobile messaging. But I wouldn't do that again if I have an alternative.

  • We have dozens of bash scripts running table cleanups and maintenece tasks on the db. In the last 20 years these scripts where more stable than the database itself (oracle -> mysql -> postgres).

    But in all fairness they just call the cliclient with the appropiate sql and check for the response code, generating a trap.
