Very similar to this idea, simply using ‘irb’ for one-off data munging and simple automations is very handy. That’s one of my go to tools when I am not sure exactly what I want to do with the data, and being able to poke at the intermediate steps as I transform it is handy. If I then come up with a pipeline that is useful, it only takes a minute to copy paste what I figured out in IRB to a file and save it as an executable script for future use.
