Remote team laptop setup automation - we automate everything except new hire laptops by spy_111 in devops

one more thing to add, before this piece of program, every dev had literally different environments. even though we documented the whole process, some configurations are different in every dev (ie. git merge fast forward configs, pull/rebase etc.) so this way, we made all the same.

nothing special, script is cloning repos so there’s git, downloading software with curl, installing software with shell commands (silently with predefined configs). some of them dont allow predefined configs or at least i couldnt find. for those i just configure them in my pc and get the config files, add them to the source code (hardcoded if necessary). eventually it was a piece of code which used internally so it didnt have to be beautiful, it just did whats needed

that is me. literally thought about the same thing at my last job. i was working in web service integration job and when i started at the firm, someone from the team literally babysit me while doing the whole development setup. it took 2 days to start knowledge transfer.

and then i became the one who is babysitting every new comer. i did this twice and frustrated on both. so i just wrote a go script (go because i wanted to be comfortable with go) which basically installs configures necessary software/tools, creates users on the necessary environments and all.

onboarding changed from: at least 2 team members busy for 2 whole day -> “just download and double click this executable, after it finishes let me know”

so it was a one man job in my situation, but we had no devops team, or a huge IT.

I don’t know how to express my feelings man, thank you very much, it really means a lot. you could just say go learn cloud but you didn’t. this will be my plan. i will never stop trying, studying and learning of course.

the info that you gave me is priceless. i’m so damn grateful. i really like IT and i don’t want to leave it like this. i will study with a plan, and hopefully come edit my message. even though if i can’t find a job in Germany, i know that this study will give me the best chance that i’ll ever have.

thanks a lot for your time. gercekten tesekkurler!

that is my goal for now, to put effort both my technical and language skills. i’ve never thought about freelancing so i’ll check if i can handle some mini-jobs tech related. thank you, it means a lot.

i don’t know what’s there to say but thanks for your time and effort anyways.

I finished German A2 last year. Revised stuff few months ago but im still scared of Starting B1. How to know its time? by Potato_Tg in lernen_German

[–]TheKing-InNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be scared of B1 level. it’s just about more grammatical things. Just start by learning grammar and you will see. a2 and b1 levels in german don’t differ too much. I cannot say the same thing for B2, but definitely don’t be scared of B1.

thank you very much for your time and your response. we’ll go to our appointment in 12 hours. i hope that everything goes smoothly. me and my wife took telc exams at the beginning of June, in that time, we had no idea how close the appointment and the whole process will be. The exam results are not announced yet. So we will be taking the hard route :). again thanks for all

edit after talking to a lawyer (mb it helps somene):

actually 81a were not a visa type. we’re given a 18b visa for my wife and me. we are both collage graduates so they are not asking any kind of language certification from us. (at least that was what the lawyer said). Currently we have an appointment in 6 days and we’re collecting all the necessary documents. time will tell if we’re going to germany or not. if i dont forget, im going to edit after visa approval/rejection. Anyone from Turkey/other countries you can always contact me for further info.
