Ok, the jetlag is hitting gradually, so I'm pretty dumb.
Spent half a day trying to extract from Karen and Swathi how t.f. exactly should I get in to kubernetes dashboard. I'm being kicked out etc. Karen wrote that she just updated a document, two days ago, describing how to get added to the list of people that are allowed to go to prod. So I pulled that project, added myself, sent to Swathi for approval. Swathi writes back that this project is archived, and we don't do it this way. I got Karen involved, and basically got the two in a conversation, out of which I had phased out.
But my stuff was not working anyway. How come? Eventually I commented out a line in my script (I'm clueless, I just script what they tell me to call). Not I can get to the dashboard; so I could look into fresh logs (nothing bad there), and I feel ok.
Started the next thing. Eventually Copilot wrote me a one-liner. But later I discovered that I did not need even that (although Copilot's code looks good). But then I added some tests, and found that our ancestors treated JSON in a weird way. They fill optional fields that are None in the db (it's Mongo) as nulls. So I asked both teams, pardners and our "titans", and closed the work tabs. Enough for today. Anyway, I have two or three tickets closed by Copilot. All I need to do is write a couple of test cases.
