That’s how!
While James and I were filming our lynda.com course, DevOps Fundamentals, I was impressed by this LinkedIn tech vending machine in their offices. Swipe badge, get doodad. I had just come off two different jobs where it was more like “pester IT for the thing you need, wait a couple weeks, maybe someone will drop by with one.”
It’s not “Chef or Puppet,” but it is self service automation! Think outside the box. Or in this case, I guess, inside a box. Kudos to LinkedIn IT for a user friendly solution.
I wish we had one of these in my office. I don’t deal with procurement so it drags……..
It’s similar to the ones in the airports. Cool stuff.
Heh yeah if an airport is doing something better than you are it’s time to have a real come-to-Jesus moment!
