My next step after figuring out what I want to have happen when I deploy things (like deciding whether I should run my own pypi, make completely new virtualenvs, etc.) is to decide on an automated config/deploy framework. One friend from ps1 suggested using puppet or salt if I have less than 100 boxes to worry about, chef if I had more.<br>
<br></div><div>To be honest, I only have one for now, and I am probably overthinking things due to my last job. On the other hand, the automation stuff will serve as documentation for myself 6 months later when I forget something, or for someone new who comes on.<br>

<br></div><div>Just trying to think of bad crap. When I got my last job I tried to imagine how a defect might lead to someone's death. In an earlier job, a defect could likely lead to someone's death much easier than that job, so it became an interesting thought experiment. QA people are superheros who save us from horrible death and destruction. <br>
