What do you automate in your life and work?


Do you have scripts or devices that you write to automate some of your work?

Pretty much everything that's worth automating, mostly macOS specific stuff though vim KM macros & Alfred workflows:

I had to book my uncle some blood tests. The website is slow and appointments are always booked up the moment they become available.

So I wrote a script that automatically receives the same json payload the website does, and notifies me when that payload includes a free appointment slot.

I've done this with other services and not only has it saved me time, it's gotten me free booking slots that I otherwise had no hope of getting.
