It's a data entry script. If it fails they just do their job the old way until the guy fixes it. It's typing text into forms. Just make everyone do things the "old way" once a week so they still know how to do it if the script ever fails.
- WaxProlix 6y agoOkay, but after a week (or two or whatever), how do you rectify the issue you found? It's easy to say get those people back and have them start entering again. What about the customers whose information was inaccurate, the resources that were misallocated, etc? Do you think data entry is done for fun? At AWS we use massive metrics and piles of data to decide what's right; why would an oil company be different, just because their metrics are collated by hand from smaller oil wells into larger spreadsheets or whatever? "By Hand" doesn't mean "totally without value", that's completely wild. Does your super low opinion of data entry people cloud your vision of their value? There's not been a response to my question of how you reconcile things after this script messes up for the first time; how does that happen? What's the DR plan? if you have real business and real clients working on this data, tell me what the plan is; it shouldn't be that hard.
