Weekly Journal
Last week I live streamed making some tweaks to the --dirty option for Pint. Unfortunately, some of the open issues revealed an underlying issue in Pint. So once that's resolved I'll continue my work.
Shortly after, daughter v2 was born. Since then, I've been dading it up. So not too much this week other than using any free time to continue working on the Human Shifts.
🔥 Tip
No code tip this week as I didn't write much last week. What I will say though is never hesitate to make a script to automate simple tasks.
I have dozens of scripts that help me manage Shift. Everything from rerunning a Shift to merging user accounts to generating this newsletter. Some are even executable via SMS. This makes it super easy to manage things when away from the computer - like when in the hospital holding my newborn daughter.
