About

Are your stand ups run 5 minutes longer than they should?

The following is a silly script I wrote in less than 5 minutes to use as an example of how to add a script package to 🦊 fox. But it can actually be useful, as I have been using it for about a year when running stand-ups.

Installation

Get this script with 🦊 fox

fox install rand-stand

Does any of the following applies to you:

• Is there a long akward silence betweeen each member of your team because no one has the currage to go next?
• Are you playing the "the person in turn decides who to go next" game? (Why do people do this? It's beyond stupid 🤦)
• Are you reading this with a commercial voice?

There is a better way! Just install rand-stand and get a random list based on your team members. Post it on slack (or whatever you use) before every stand-up. And voila! No more awkward silences. No more unnecessary friction.

Configuration

Just add your team members to the list in ~/.config/rand-stand/items.json like so:

{
  "first": ["⚡ Zeus"],
  "random": [
    "🎸 Jimi Hendrix",
    "👾 Ricardo",
    "🧼 Tyler Durden",
    "🦇 Ozzy Osbourne",
    "🐢 Mitch McConnell",
    "👨‍🍳 Gordon Ramsay"
  ],
  "last": ["🛹 Tony Hawk"]
}

This is quite self explanatory, but if you must...

The items in the first section are hardcoded to go first (duh!), random go at random, and last go (you guessed it) at last.

And just run rand-stand to get the randomized list output to you terminal.

Dependencies

This script is written with in JavaScript but uses the bun runtime. You can get it at: https://bun.sh
