though not part of the main excel spreadsheet we use to track jira tickets, id like to give a shout out to our "we couldn't think of a better way to track affected customers in jira other than shoving every customer name into the ticket title" system.

gotta love "[fartcorp][buttco][customerA][dontcare][somebody][tacobell][yospos][bithc][urmom][ligma][justpost][probably terminated their contract 3y ago] oh look an actual description of the problem"

still relevant to this thread since lead product manager has informed me that he has a spreadsheet that ingests this issue title format and reports on it somehow

i did a brief side gig in college working at some place that... idk advertised compliance training to lawyers or something? they had us go over a bunch of court system PDFs to get attorneys' addresses and enter them into a database

i spent one of the shifts writing some janky python thing to scrape the PDFs and vomit out the relevant bits, since they were mostly standardized--still needed manual review but it was a lot faster than manually opening and reading the PDFs. didn't occur to me that i probably coulda sold that poo poo to them instead of just using it to complete a "shift" in like 10% of the time i used to need and work on homework during the rest
