A new "Extreme Feedback" contraption - shoot the dev who breaks the build!

[Chris Dance]

Hi All,

Just a quick email to let everyone know there is now a new Jenkins
"Extreme Feedback" device with a twist.  This one automatically
coordinates a foam missile counter-attack against the developer who
breaks the build!

It's all in good fun and has been a real hit in our team so we've
decided to generalize it and put it out the Jenkins community.  You
can read about our adventures including a "demonstration" video here:

http://www.papercut.com/blog/chris/2011/08/19/who-broke-the-build/

The code's over at github under the name 'Retaliation':
https://github.com/codedance/Retaliation

If Lava Lamps, like pink curtains and shag pile, are not your dev
team's style then maybe "Retaliation" is for you :-)

Cheers,

Chris

KK - when you see things like this, do you usually forward to the community email address? I linked to this blog post from FB last night. Today we'll Tweet it. I love sprinkling humorous, developer content (related to Jenkins and/or CB) in our various social media. I think it engages developers a bit.

Are there specific places where this kind of post/blog is more readily found? I can troll through them occasionally. I now subscribe to the Jenkins users email alias, so I will catch anything there, just as I did with this one.

Thanks for forwarding this to the Jenkins email list! The blog is funny, Jenkins-specific, and is really well done.

Can we look forward intercontinental missile launcher in future releases?  
This would be usefull in case that the dev team is spread over the world:-)

So a single bug launches an ICBM?  Great, all my cold war nightmares
revisited...

i wonder if it would be possible to search for THE developer and then shoot :) in case they are not all in one room. seems http://www.dreamcheeky.com/storm-oic-missile-launcher
might do the job
