Random Comment Picker for Scalzi.com

A short script that can be dropped in the developer console, or used as a bookmarklet, on Scalzi.com that will highlight & move to the comment with the specified number. (The prompt pre-populates with a randomly chosen comment.)

I will look at the the total number of comments, ask Alexa to pick a number in that field of numbers, and then painstakingly go through the comments until I find the comment that corresponds to that number, and then pick that one. This will be an enormous pain in my ass, so I hope at least one of you gets the moon right.

Standup helper

The following Manager Code™ will let you walk through your Jira Project board person by person, in a 'random order' (deterministic on a per-day basis) and show only their tickets.

It works in my Chrome browser; your mileage may vary… (forks of this gist very welcome!)

To use it:

1. Copy the code below
2. Create a new bookmark in Chrome

Codeowners

Github uses a CODEOWNERS file in the root of a repo as a declaration of individuals or teams that should be notified if files are changed.

This is very useful when working on a project with a large number of contributors; but it can be a bit hard to make use of as a human.

This Sublime Text plugin adds a status bar hint to let you know who you might want to talk to about the file you're editing.
