Not that probably anyone cares about it, but this is my code for the hateful thing. https://github.com/agmlego/pyNOVATime
Day three of brute-force reverse-engineering the "REST API" of our timekeeping system so I can integrate it with a tool that actually works for my ADHD brain for hour categorization. (Toggl, in case you were wondering).
Sure would be nice to know whether these like 9 attributes out of 13 in this JSON dict are actually useful and required, given that all of them are `null` for every single entry in our system...
But no, NOVATime does not publicly document their API at all so I have to do it through the Firefox debugger.
"You're back," exclaimed the leader and heist-planner, "How did you escape from the Vampire Countess's Keep?"
The team glanced at each other, shuffling their feet sheepishly, "She let us go."
"So you lead her right to our hideout?!"
"No, she... offered us all good jobs."
"Including you."
"It's stable work. Lots of benefits. Gave us all a week's pay in advance."
The leader was quiet a long time, before deciding, "I'll give it a chance."

trying to follow this instruction:
talk about the things you love, even if you think nobody cares.
people won't ask for it at least at first, but some of them will care
and it's attractive to see someone talk about the things they love.
let go of the notion that it's worthless if you don't get a minimum number of listeners, reactions, replies.
practice caring publicly about the things you care about.
I think this is a good reminder for me. I never liked being shy anyway

I wrote down how this works, and how it all ties together.

The core lesson, that we'd better start learning fast, is that no private corporation, no private collector, no private _anything_ is an effective long-term steward of culture, knowledge, the public trust or the public good, and the whole notion of "intellectual property" isn't just theft, it's also, eventually, arson.
