tried my hand at transcipts again, hope i did ok. Nintendo Mc (talk) 15:32, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
Oddly prescient, as always. I've just finished writing a fully automated data pipeline that ingests multiple data sources (both manual and automated input), has API support, a frontend, and email dispatch capabilities entirely in Google Sheets. It was about 3x faster to code than doing it right. 172.68.65.6 16:48, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
- That's so awesome ! Would you come back and let us know if it ever collapses because one of the data sources changes slightly? (or alternatively, that it _doesn't_ collapse and cueball needs to get his shit together?) 162.158.78.130 01:22, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Just added a line about how this is a logical continuation of the Code Quality series - given it's the same two people, this should be uncontroversial. Is it worth adding a new category for "Code Quality" to group these (and likely subsequent comics) together? Grimreaperwithalawnmower (talk) 17:20, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
What could we still add to the transcript? I don't think it really needs any more transcripting so maybe we should remove the marker. Kwonunn (talk) 18:50, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
