#Chat Robots Next Level Tooling Developers are lazy! So we are really great in create tooling for our daily tasks. But these tooling has its weaknesses. We are creating a tons of scripts on our local maschine, sometimes we share them via git or other vcs systems. But all over all this tooling sucks when it comes to collaboration. But there is a way to escape this, Chat Robots. We developers also love hanging out in chat rooms like campfire or jabber. Why not combine this tooling and the chat rooms via chat robots. Our tooling would be available to everyone without installing wired shell scripts and its super documented, no more questions like: “Do you have the deploy lock?” or “Did you already migrate the database?” - it’s all documented in the chat transcripts. I’d like to introduce hubot, a easy customization chat robot build by the fine folks at github. Also show how you can automate your tooling and scripts to make them available to everyone in your company!
