It's so flippin nice. I even added a snippet to easily add a python code cell by pressing `p + tab`. </p><p>It finds my `uv` virtualenv, I can just add more code and hit `Ctrl + Enter` and it goes to the console, and everything behaves *mostly* like it does when I'm writing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RStats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RStats</span></a> .</p>
mitten<p>Over the last couple days, I wrote a <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> program that will take the CSVs generated by YNAB and massage them into the right format for the quarterly reports I make for the mister's business. It'll take what was a 30 minute process down to about 3 minutes.</p><p>I did spend a bunch of hours on this (and learned a lot about Pandas!), so it may be in the category of not actually saving me time in the end, but it does save me from dread. Oh, how I hated doing all that stuff by hand, so I would just majorly procrastinate on it. Now it's easy, and I am so pleased with myself.</p><p>Not all code needs to be an app! You can write code for yourself! It's actually kind of fun! And easier than you think!</p><p>Shout out to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@AlSweigart" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>AlSweigart</span></a></span> for "Automate the Boring Stuff" - I ended up going a different direction code-wise, but the book gave me the idea to try. Thanks, Al!</p><p>[I realize that there is potentially a way for me to automate the whole damn process and make it output the full Excel spreadsheet automatically, but that would take more hours, and I'm not sure it's worth it. I've put it on my list of "backburner" projects.]</p>
