Jenkinsfile idiosynchrasies with escaping and quotes
node {
echo 'Results included as an inline comment exactly how they are returned as of Jenkins 2.121, with $BUILD_NUMBER = 1'
echo 'No quotes, pipeline command in single quotes'
sh 'echo $BUILD_NUMBER' // 1
echo 'Double quotes are silently dropped'
sh 'echo "$BUILD_NUMBER"' // 1
echo 'Even escaped with a single backslash they are dropped'
sh 'echo \"$BUILD_NUMBER\"' // 1
echo 'Using two backslashes, the quotes are preserved'

This Windows 10 Setup Script turns off a bunch of unnecessary Windows 10 telemetery, bloatware, & privacy things. Not guaranteed to catch everything. Review and tweak before running. Reboot after running. Scripts for reversing are included and commented. Fork of https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script (different defaults). N.…

### UPDATE: For Win 11, I recommend using this tool in place of this script:

Instructions how to install Debian using debootstrap
-- 1. Create a new generic password entry in Keychain Access called "WHATEVER_AnyConnect_VPN" (the name in Keychain access must match that in line 39 below) with your password for the Cisco AnyConnect VPN server.
-- 2. Open this script in Script Editor (both this and the above are in the Applications->Utilities folder) and "Save as.." an Application (.app) with desired name.
-- 3. Open Security & Privacy System Preferences, go to Privacy, Accessibility.
-- 4. Enable the above .app so it can access Accessibility
-- 5. Copy and paste a nice icon on the generic Applescript icon (I used a copy of the default AnyConnect one)
-- 6. Add the new .app to /Users/[yourshortname]/Applications with a shortcut to your Dock
-- 7. Enjoy the fast connection with no need to enter password and increased security of not having a sensitive password stored as plain text
-- 8. Run script again to close connection
-- AnyConnect now refered to as targetApp

A list of questions you could ask while interviewing

A lot of these are outright stolen from Edward O'Campo-Gooding's list of questions. I really like his list.

I'm having some trouble paring this down to a manageable list of questions -- I realistically want to know all of these things before starting to work at a company, but it's a lot to ask all at once. My current game plan is to pick 6 before an interview and ask those.

I'd love comments and suggestions about any of these.

I've found questions like "do you have smart people? Can I learn a lot at your company?" to be basically totally useless -- everybody will say "yeah, definitely!" and it's hard to learn anything from them. So I'm trying to make all of these questions pretty concrete -- if a team doesn't have an issue tracker, they don't have an issue tracker.

I'm also mostly not asking about principles, but the way things are -- not "do you think code review is important?", but "Does all code get reviewed?".
