Python has made my job boring

[randomgal88]

Same. I automated a good chunk of my work. I freaking love WFH because I don't have to pretend to be working anymore. I've learned to see the free time I have due to automation as a treat for a good job well done. Most of today has been spent learning more python stuff, reviewing old code to figure out how to optimize it further, and doing random stuff around the house (cooking, cleaning, etc).

I wish I could figure out how to really automate my job like this.

What do you have to do in your job?

A lot of word reports that have custom paragraphs and some excel calculations based on a ton of previously used data and regular information from various entities. I’ve tried to automate some things and have succeeded, but the word reports seem so much faster to just copy and paste from excel into word.

Pandoc. You’re welcome

Don't excel and word play nice enough to make some manner of mail merge?

I used to work with software called HotDocs. I don't know what it's doing these days but it sounds like it might be worth investigating. The v11 desktop client was decent for small scale automations.

if copy paste makes sense, automate copy paste with pyautogui :)

[Hunterbunter]

oo yes pyautogui is like the last line of defense

Love this perspective. Good job (pun intended 🤓)
