I spent a few hours automating some repetitive tasks in a way that takes almost the entire burden off of my brain. Then I wired it up to a Stream Deck so these things can notify me asynchronously and easily run in parallel.
That was a pretty simple investment, but a total game changer, it saves me gobs of time every month, and was a no-brainer investment.
Granted, not all dev workflows are as annoyingly complex as mine, but nonetheless: you're statement is all-encompassing when in fact it's very context dependent. In my case, your advice was simply not true.
- r0n22 3y agoWhat type of tasks ? This sounds really interesting?
- switchbak 3y agoLong running async stuff where I want to be notified when it's done. Things like: - run all the functional tests - rebuild a docker image - rebuild the docker image AND run all the tests AND reformat the code ... It's such a simple idea, but super useful. Think something like this: https://github.com/jamesridgway/devdeck https://github.com/jamesridgway/devdeck I haven't made it publically available, as it's SUPER raw/tailored for me.
