Hey @DarinPope. My team owns a Jenkins plugin and we're trying to set up feature flags and need a way to store the SDK key. Is there a way to do this for plugins? I can only find docs on storing envs at the server level.

So very honoured and excited to be selected by @wid_australia to be a finalist for the 2022 Software Engineer of the Year. Can't wait to celebrate all the other amazing women that made it to the finals.

2 final things I'll throw in: 1. We have neighbours who have been dragged through the mud by @aami as well. 2. The builders were planning to use insulation that is below building regulation requirements - wouldn't have known if they had completed the work when scheduled.

@homerepair claims to be “a professional resource for your home repair needs” and @aami has a slogan, “we’re here to help”. What an absolute joke. Dodgy insurance - maybe something @ACurrentAffair9 would be interested in.

Finally, today I was told we could have someone reassess but that it would take at least 3-4 weeks for someone to find the time to do that and that, “they will probably reach the same verdict”.

To make it worse, every time I call @homerepair they say, “It’s not up to us, it’s up to your insurer” and @aami says, “We’re really sorry but we can’t do anything. It’s up to @homerepair”. Seems like a total cop out to me.

I’ve reminded them that there was over 2 months between the maintenance repairs and the final moisture check. Between late June and mid September, we had A LOT of rain in my area. In fact, the BoM had this to say about the month of July.

Yet @aami and @homerepair are using this as some kind of loophole to dig in their heels and not do the repairs my insurance pays them to do. Apparently they’re both concerned that water still might get into the ceiling.

To step back a bit, the original building assessment was done to determine what maintenance work was needed to stop the roof from leaking. Maintenance work was done and we have since received verification this work achieved this goal.

Instead, @homerepair took weeks to write up a report and then came back to tell us they still refused to complete the work. Their reason? The report from our maintenance guy and their assessor didn’t completely align.

The moisture guy told me he would send his report off to @homerepair. At this point I was convinced building would continue. @aami and @homerepair had an invoice, a report, and photos of the repairs and now an additional report verifying maintenance stopped all leaks.

While this was happening, one of the moisture guys came back to do a final moisture check and collect their equipment. Over 2 months had passed since the maintenance work was done by this time and the final moisture reading concluded that our ceiling was 100% DRY.

So I sent the invoice. Then I was told it wasn’t good enough and that I needed to provide a report from the person who completed the work in June. So we paid more money to have a report written up and sent that through.

I contacted @homerepair to try to rectify this issue, explaining that the original maintenance items were, in fact, completed and the additional items were approved. I was told to simply 'send through the invoice for the maintenance work' and then we could move ahead with repairs

The additional items were not near the area that was damaged yet @aami and @homerepair insisted we pay more out-of-pocket expenses to complete these additional items otherwise repairs would not continue.

@aami sent out another assessor to redo the original maintenance report. The summary of this was essentially that we had lied and never completed the maintenance items/they were done poorly. The assessor also added several more required maintenance items to the report.

At first we thought it would be as simple as that: just wait until the ceiling dried and the builders would be sent back to finish what they started. Instead, it was the start of @aami and @homerepair finding every excuse and loophole possible.

When they discovered the ceiling was indeed still wet, they packed up all their things and left, leaving my ceiling with a giant hole covered by a tarp, telling us that they would be back once the ceiling had dried properly.

To add insult to injury, it was after 5pm so I had no way to contact @homerepair or @aami to tell them to reschedule the builders. So at 7am the following morning the builders arrived. We informed them the ceiling was still wet but they chose to proceed anyway.
