You can automate more than you think

This newsletter goes over how there are so many things you could automate. While it might not save time as per the xkcd, it saves you focus. I do hope to get better at computer automation over time. All I have now is,

• an AutoHotKey script which lets me use alt codes (mainly the en and em dashes, – and —) since my keyboard has no numpad, and
• a VSCode snippet which adds an ISO date to my posts

The most interesting not is on selenium which handles browser automation. It’s something that’ll come in handy at work since the system were supposed to use is crap.
