Automating gr2m/helpdesk

I've laid out the current process for this repository at https://github.com/gr2m/helpdesk/tree/f085060fb98f61a005c9e79df15fdad6466c6a1a#how-i-use-this-repository. It's mostly manual. Time to spice it up a bit with some automation!

In this show, I'll try to automate the tweeting and comments on the issue belonging to the show.

Outline

1. Quick review of what I've build so far in episode I and episode II
2. Retrieve existing scheduled tweets and compare with upcoming shows
3. Update scheduled tweets as needed

Preparation

• 30 minute announcement tweet
• start of show tweet
• comment on issue
• recording available tweet

Recording

Shownotes

• The code from todays show: feat: scheduled tweets (part I) #19
• We did not quite finish the automated scheduling yet. But we did
  • load open issues for show and extract the time of the start of the show
  • load scheduled tweets and extract the show issue number they are about, and what kind of tweet they are
• What's left to do in the next episode
  • create, update, and delete scheduled tweets based on the data we have
