Also linked to on the github page.

Why is everyone acting as if the GitHub repo contains the original scripts?

[AUmrysh]

Because they didn't bother to read or can't read the scripts.

I posted the Github link because it is better written and is the basis for the article.

A case study of HN-friendly clickbait based on an obviously fake story. Automatically performing a roll back of staging DB to latest backup by matching words "sorry" or "help" in an email from a DBA? Yeah, right.

[Kiro]

Exactly my thought. No way this is real.

In mother Russia, database fixes you.

This is who I want to be when I grow up.

hopefully without all the profanity and calling scripts about your wife, "smack-my-bitch-up.sh"

[humbertomn]

Missing the "shut-the-fuck-up.sh" for sending an email to everyone with the subject "Urgent" when the office is too noisy and the "send-feedback-to-my-body.sh" to order lunch 12pm from a premium random selection :)

Had a good laugh :). Some things I'll maybe incorporate in my own day-to-day...

It's genius that he convinced journalists that a shell script can move cups from cupboards and milk from refrigerators. Or maybe it's a vending machine latte, which at least explain why the guy is full of rage.

This is pure gold. I now need to check if the coffee-machine at work is hackable.

[giarc]

Everything is hackable if you try hard enough.

Scan your network for telnet services.

[mariusmg]

Sending a timing context sms to your wife is now considered "job automation" ? Seriously ?!

So now we know BusinessInsider is lurking on HN.
