Ask HN: Do you have any repeating tasks that can be automated?

1 pointvsakos5 comments

Do you have any computer related repeating tasks that can be (or already are) automated with software either fully or partially?

Yes, of course.

Can you please tell me what exactly?

What do you need to know, exactly? What do you need it for? It's too vague question to answer concretely.

Anything you could either do manually or write a bash/python/javascript/php/whatever script for, or use a SaaS.

It can be anything, like scraping some site and exporting the data as csv, getting raw text from pdf, doc files etc.

Do you use something like this, or do something that can be automated this way? Just give some examples that first come to mind.

Monitoring. Managing servers' configuration. Building packages to install on servers. Building reports.
