Most scripts do not take a long time to run, or they can easily run in the background on modern computers. For example I

router: This change corrects the argument order when calling RouteReuseStrategy#shouldReuseRoute. Previously, when evaluating child routes, they would be called with the future and current arguments would be swapped. If your RouteReuseStrategy relies specifically on only the future or current snapshot state, you may need to update the shouldReuseRoute implementation’s use of “future” and “current” ActivateRouteSnapshots.

I work between different devices a lot, either my main computer or my Microsoft Surface tablet. This works almost fluently using either Github or Google Drive — but I often found that I would bring my tablet out of the bag as the train sets off and realize that I forgot to push my changes from my desktop computer the night before. That is annoying, and it does not have to be like that — just automate the git commit / git push with a simple script that runs on a delayed endless loop.

The text file is already named like my Trello card, then I have a Python script that creates a subfolder of the same name and moves the .txt file inside, renames it to Markdown format (great for writing and sharing!) and puts the title as the first line with a headline Markdown notation for me.

My rent, internet, power and heating, water and insurances, retirement plan contributions — I do not care about any of those, I do not want to see them, hear them talk, whisper dark thoughts into my ears.

This automation step has nothing to do with regular programming — but man is it useful. I stopped having money issues after I stopped looking at my bank account some two years ago, that is not exaggerated. Sure, other parts play a role in that — but honestly this is an area where I save so much mind space by a “lack of knowledge” that it’s almost unreal. I pretty much live on a cash-only basis for all non-recurring cost, everything that I have to pay monthly is just automatically withdrawn.

However it is very simple to automate the pulling of statistics using Python and Selenium — and now you can suddenly push them all to a daily spreadsheet, even send out an email to yourself so that you can read your stats on the train to work.

core: If you call TestBed.overrideProvider after TestBed initialization, provider overrides are not applied. This behavior is consistent with other override methods (such as TestBed.overrideDirective, etc) but they throw an error to indicate that, when the check was missing in the TestBed.overrideProvider function. Now calling TestBed.overrideProvider after TestBed initialization also triggers an error, thus there is a chance that some tests (where TestBed.overrideProvider is called after TestBed initialization) will start to fail and require updates to move TestBed.overrideProvider calls before TestBed initialization is completed.

In the same way I automated my income as well, meaning that I automatically withdraw from paypal, payoneer, stripe or at least do that manually once a month with an automated reminder. Seriously Paypal, get your stuff together and make auto-withdraw a non-business-account feature. Anyway, all my direct income sources are also automated, from Patreon, Amazon Affiliate, Kindle, freelance sites — they all pay me in some way and in some way the money lands in my account.

I use a Trello board as my main contact point, each time I add a new card with a post title I trigger a zapier job that will create a text file in Google Drive for me. Depending on the board the subfolder will be different, but they are all part of my Git project that I use to save all my writing files. Just place that git repository inside your Google Drive and the new files will be automatically added to your change list, that is very convenient.

On my desktop computer I do not even notice a slow-down when I get to work even though my scripts take the first five or ten minutes to run — it is just a no-brainer that saves me a lot of time and mental capacity. Set things up once, keep running everything automatically ever after.

This is not good if you collaborate on projects with others — but if, say you had an automated writing repository, one that you alone work on, then it makes no real sense to do proper commit messages. All I would ever write in there would be “did some writing yo” anyway.

Now to get to the first real automation: An automated content creation pipeline. What this does for me is to keep all my writing projects organized, set them up, structure them and back them up — and that all took just an afternoon to set up.

If you are like me you have a lot of different things going on — something new and shiny always comes along. Checking stats is an important part of keeping track — but it costs a ton of time to do manually.

ant Jane Jacobs in “The Death and Life of Great American Cities”, on successful streets, people must appear at different times. The mix of uses ensures precisely that. Restaurants, shops, and residential uses all have different operating times. Restaurants and businesses that stay open until late at night are especially important, since streets tend to be less safe at night. That guarantees more “eyes upon the street” — as Jacob calls it — which means people occupying the street, and that’s what makes them safer.

As you can probably tell this already saves me a great deal of time for every single post that I create — at least five to ten minutes of super annoying, menial work. It also allows me to place all images directly with the post inside that subfolder — plus I know that I never forget to turn an idea into a project skeleton.
