It’s ridiculous but there are sometimes these silent moments, where it feels like magic that you can write code. Even for simple stuff.
Latest situations:
Syncing up Airtable and Miro – I create initial concepts for analytics tracking plans in Airtable but usually also create a visual guide in Miro. Now I have a script that keeps both in sync. Saves easily 4h in a project. I also tried to do it with Integromat but skipped after 1h. The script itself was ready in 30m (in v1).
Writing a fan out function for serverless setups – in the latest case the initial functions triggers 1.000 other serverless functions to get data, run some checks and saves the results in a DB. Knowing that this just scales to 10k or 100k is really satisfying.
