I automated some really tedious stuff at work with two Python scripts today. It’s feeling sooooooo much better now. Tomorrow, I need to figure out whether the two parameters can be automatically obtained via an API, so we don’t need to open up a UI, search for the correct entries and copy-paste these values by hand. Invoking just one unparameterized make target to do all the stuff would be absolutely amazing. I’m wondering why we haven’t already spent these two to three hours years ago.

Heck yeah, it worked!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It’s tough to find that sweet spot (“when to write automation?”). 🤔 But when you say “years ago”, hmm, yes, maybe you waited too long. 😅
