Join 📚 Kevin's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Kevin's read, .
Software companies aren't made of code, much like
bakeries aren't made of bread.
Software companies are made of
*processes that produce and maintain code*.
Software is a by-product of these processes.
It's not even the *final* product — it's a means to an end.
The final product is a solution to a business problem.
The Machine That Makes the Thing Is More Valuable Than the Thing

this is how you would use it with a Python script. We first define the match:
```yaml
- trigger: ":pyscript"
replace: "{{output}}"
vars:
- name: myvar
type: echo
params:
echo: "my variable"
- name: output
type: script
params:
args:
- python
- /path/to/your/script.py
```
And then, inside the script:
```python
/path/to/your/script.py
import osmyvar = os.environ['ESPANSO_MYVAR']# Do whatever you want with the myvar variable
```
