This was (for a variety of reasons) a fairly long, fairly frustrating week …and (for a variety of reasons) I can’t really talk about it.

One of the aspects of the new manager role I’m in at work is taking a shift in the rota of folks responsible for managing the releases of our internal software product — this week was my second time on the merry-go-round. It went better than the first time, largely because I’ve spent a fair chunk of time developing my own custom checklist for the process — and I’m happy I spent the time, because it made it significantly less painful and anxiety-inducing.

Yet another, yet another week.

I’m building a little 11ty-based tool at work, to dynamically generate checklists to guide the release of a piece of software we build. I’m not going to say the release process is overly complicated or anything, but the current printed docs run to over 20 pages when printed out (lots of screenshots), and they’re generally at a level of “what” rather than “how” — there’s some room for improvement, let’s say.
