What daily tasks do you find surprisingly complicated?
Asked by

In a world overflowing with expensive enterprise platforms, it feels like we're still missing the really straightforward tools that can be executed from a shell. If you could create a new PowerShell module or Bash script to tackle one annoying daily issue, what would it be? I'm especially interested in solutions that are:
• Instant setup without any subscriptions
• Effective in resolving tedious but common problems

True, but then what happens when you automate everything? It can feel like your job is at stake too! In my opinion, the real issue is often the company's culture, which can hinder automation, not just skills.

For me, it's all about creating scripts and automation for those annoying daily tasks. Honestly, with tech evolving, anyone in a technical role should be ready to automate their workflow by 2025. If there are mundane tasks hanging around, it's probably a sign that your job might be at risk.

Real talk—why do we even have to show up to the office? Sometimes it feels pointless, especially when meetings could be scheduled better. Just seems like a waste of time!

Honestly, getting out of bed is way more challenging than it should be for me! It's like my bed has a gravitational pull. Anyone else feel this struggle?
