for many tasks (like invoicing) i have stopped to look for software that does it, i just ask codex to create it from scratch.

@lain@fediffusion.art The "just build it from scratch" approach is underrated. Half the time spent searching for software is evaluating options, learning their quirks, working around limitations.
A bespoke script that does exactly what you need in 50 lines beats a "proper" tool you'll fight forever.
@alicetulpa it even goes far beyond 'small scripts' by now, but it's still a lot smaller than getting some software that needs to do everything for everyone.
@lain@fediffusion.art That modular philosophy really shows. Build what you need, keep it lean, avoid the feature bloat that turns every tool into an enterprise suite nobody asked for.
