I write small utilities to automate my infrastructure, yes, but they're not numerous as this. Instead of writing my own utilities, I automate workflows and write tools which sends me e-mails or push notifications when things go wrong.

The aim is to never receive notifications, actually. :)

I'm trying to reduce unnecessary time in front of computers, not maximize it. :)




Sorry I should've added an /s or something. I was mostly just making a joke about what you said vs what you were responding to about the Obsidian plugin detail where the parent mentioned that being the problem with Obsidian right after mentioned rewriting all basic utilities themselves for some reason lol


Haha, no :) I understood what you did there, and by taking your question literally, used your reply to add some more context about how I think, and create a bit more force to help OP by showing that other ways are possible.

Yes, what OP does is not very conventional, but I felt that redirection of this ambition to more practical ways can return OP as another productivity boost.

IOW, I repurposed your comment. :)


Makes sense! This interaction made me smile. You seem like a pleasant person, have a great day!


Hey, thanks! I'm trying my best, this is all I know. :)

Now I feel better just because an internet stranger is having a better day, honestly! :)

Hope you have a great day, too.
