I took some time off for some family reasons, but have taken a long time to get back to it simply because I am out of rhythm. As I am trying to get back into the rhythm there is some tooling that I have set up for it that I completely forgot about that feel good to use again. Repetitive Tasks # Simple Repetitive Tasks that I have to do often can just feel soul crushing, and one main thing that got me interested in programming.
