Symbolic Violence Beats Lava Lamps All To Pieces

cdance writes "Traditional Lava Lamps, and of course email, are the tools of choice to notify your dev team that the build in your continuous integration system is broken. However, lava lamps, just like pink curtains and shag pile, don't really fit into the culture of many modern development teams. There is now a solution. Retaliation is a new Jenkins CI build monitor that automatically coordinates a foam missile counter-attack against the developer who breaks the build. It does this by playing a pre-programmed control sequence to a USB Foam Missile Launcher to target the offending code monkey."

I've now read it 3.7 times and it still makes no sense. I think the key to understanding would be either to doggedly follow the links (which somehow i feel it's a fail if i have to follow the links to begin to understand a posting of "News") or if i was in on the necessary "darmok/his arms wide" patois. Anyway, i'm not the target customer, apparently. So... nothing to see here move along...
