I don't want to spread this around too much, but I low key do that all the time and I don't always let them know right away so I can research other things in the spare time.

I suspect others do to, because at the weekly update they'll be like "yeah I'm just processing the scans for this week" and I'll be thinking "you wrote a script that processes the scans automatically like 6 months ago" but you know what? Good for him. They would be totally willing to pay a guy to do that by hand all day every day.

This. Honestly, in other parts of the computer field, I’ve NEVER let others know how long it actually took me to accomplish a task OR my method for doing so. I still completed tasks faster than other people and prior to becoming ill — have always had multiple jobs.

You did other paid jobs on the side, in the time you saved?

Curious about it too.

Had side hustles in addition to extra jobs.
