Blogging at the Hair Salon,
Fixing Errors on the Train
A real-world example of deploying a blog post in 10 languages from the hair salon while getting a color treatment, then fixing a deploy error on the train home — all from an iPhone with Claush.
User Overview
A solo developer and the creator of the Claush app. They practice every day what it means to do professional development without sitting in front of a PC.
Scenario
While waiting for hair dye to set at the salon, Claush was used on an iPhone to write a blog post, translate it into 10 languages, commit to GitHub, and trigger a deploy. On the train home, a Firebase email revealed a deploy error had occurred.
Waiting for Color at the Hair Salon
While the stylist applied color, Claush was opened on the phone. Using the chat interface, instructions were given to write the blog post content, translate it into 10 languages, generate HTML files, and commit to GitHub.
To everyone else in the salon, it just looked like someone browsing their phone. No one suspected development was happening.
Detecting and Fixing the Error on the Train Home
Shortly after boarding the train, Firebase sent an email from GitHub Actions. Deploy error — caused by a typographic quote (curly quote) that had snuck into a YAML file.
The error log was pasted into Claush, the cause was explained, and a fix, commit, and push were requested. Before the train reached its destination, the deploy had succeeded.
