I am a programmer. Too often I forget this.

I get caught up in my day-to-day work, battling bugs and slow IDEs, silently cursing shortcomings in my OS.

One day I remembered that I am a programmer - I can use code to brighten my day.

For me it started with the need to “find and replace” across multiple files, in a way that regular tools couldn’t do. Next came common snippets that I found myself cutting and pasting several times a day.
