Automate your job. I'm steadily building tools that make my job easier and thus me more efficient. I have a nice django app scaffolding generator that makes writing code quicker. I just need to add the model fields and the logic to the views. Everything else is mostly generated. In fact, I'm moving towards automating a lot of the code I write. Less strain on my hands.
- stephengillie 10y agoI made a set of Powershell functions to automate making Powershell script modules, and adding functions to those, and adding items to functions. At some point, this became a natural language to Powershell interpreter, adding in brackets and other punctuation at the correct locations - it has the side effect that human error is not introduced, in brackets (5% error rate) and also human error in comments (20% error rate). I feel like this is where all languages will eventually go, being easier to hear and speak instead of read and type. And not having to think about brackets and semicolons frees a developer to think instead about the work their code is performing.

- asimuvPR 10y agoI'm in the process of automating some tools. They should be out soon. I'll make sure to do a Show HN post for people like you who are interested. :)
- bkovacev 10y agoPlease let me know :) I'd love to see it and play around with those tools, they'll cut my work time tremendously. Thank you!
