I'm somewhat split. There's definite value in having a shared history of what people have done, but I prefer that to take the form of command line tools pushing status updates to Hipchat or whatever. You lose so much convineance by pretending Hipchat's chat box is a terminal, everything from command history to being able to quickly iterate over the contents of a file or set environment variables.
- glenngillen 11y agoOne of the most compelling aspects of it for me isn't so much the shared history, but just visibility of what people have done. It's a really effective way of transferring knowledge of how things are done. You can easily drop into the room and watch play-by-play how a given task is done.
- greggyb 11y agoIf this is the goal, why not just have a script export the shell's history to a chat channel? To me, a wiki would be even better, because you could retroactively include expository comments along with the command history.
