We have to manage on daily basis complex tasks, sometimes also quite frustrating, to talk with customers with lot of confuses ideas and deal with the bleeding edge technologies with no documentation.<\/p>\n

Since we chose to adopt a remote office approach, do a proper hug is quite difficult. That’s why we created a proper channel (#abbracciatone, aka big hugs<\/em>) on slack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also are lazy\u00a0and looking every time for a hug image on google is a pain. To clear this\u00a0pain I wrote\u00a0a very little script for slack using a web service (this the Json endpoint url<\/a>) created with\u00a0kimono lab<\/a>\u00a0and the slack API<\/a> to send a random hug image on the channel triggered by the command \/hugs<\/em>.<\/p>\n
