I relate to the sentiments of this article. Smallness is a commodity we programmers forget the value of too frequently. After reading the article the other week about the person who had their entire life managed in a single text file, I felt inspired to start doing the same. I have a python script that crawls the file and then sorts it all by date, plus a little command-line interface for checking off items or aggregating things by person or topic, but not much more. A text file isn't a good way to store data for a big application, but I know the exact limits of what I want to do, so I'm not going to use a database or anything more advanced than a human-readable .txt file. So far I've spent more time writing the script than time I've saved by using it, but what else is new for a personal project?
