Atlassian

Something we haven't done just yet on this site is walking through the humble process of creating data pipelines: the art of taking a bunch of data, changing said data, and putting it somewhere else. It's kind of a weird thing to be into, hence why the MoMA has been rejecting my submissions of Github repositories. Don't worry; I'll keep at it.

Something you don't see every day are people sharing their pipelines, which is understandable. Presumably, the other people who do this kind of stuff do it for work; nobody is happily building stupid pipelines in their free time

When it comes to SaaS products in the realm of Service desks, JIRA Service Desk is at the very least, just as powerful as the next solution (Zendesk comes to mind). This naturally begs the question: Why is JIRA Service Desk's pricing model roughly 1/10th of that of it's competitor?

Last episode we covered every programming noob's favorite 'A-ha' moment: making GET requests using AJAX. Stepping stones such as these can serve as great turning points in a career, but they also expose how little we still know. For instance, when we integrated the functional logic of APIs on the client side, we actually broke a cardinal rule: storing and passing private keys on the client side like an idiot. Does that make everything we learned useless? Not entirely, but kinda yeah.

Today we'll do the equivalent in Python by using the requests library. Requests is successor to Urllib, both
