Why didn't they just use hubot with the pagerduty script? hubot integrates into hipchat, pretty sure irc too, but maybe not. I would think writing that connector would have been easier than creating a whole new "bot" though.
- gdb 12y agoWe don't currently use Hubot internally. We've certainly thought about it, but we've also had chat bots at Stripe for a number of years (and writing a chat bot isn't actually that difficult), and consequently it's never been a clear enough win to port our existing stuff. We would be more than happy to see someone port Pagerbot to use Hubot instead, though.

- gdb 12y agoCool. Looks like it has some similar features/workflows to Pagerbot, and some different.
- hox 12y agoNot everyone wants to use hubot. I actually think having a communally maintained bit as part of an engineering group can be kinda fun, but to each their own.
