    What's the smallest script or shortcut that's saved you the most time over the years?

    @sergio_101 Various single-line Powershell commands that pull data from Microsoft server products and export them into Excel spreadsheets.

        @thaodan @sergio_101

        Yes, indeed.

        Some history: that line was the **first** line in my Emacs configuration journey, literally the first line I put in my .emacs back in the day. The amount of time this saved over more than 4 decades of use is quite significant! Nothing else comes close. 🤣

        I did change to the new way somewhat recently and felt a little sad at losing that line from my configuration. 😢

          Having bookmarks in plain text file (md or #orgmode )

          and having script to grep it and copy/insert link in focus.

          ```bash
          rg --no-config '^\+' ${file} | sed 's/+ //g' | $DMENU -p 'Link: ' | rg --no-config -o '(http|https)://[a-zA-Z0-9./?=_%&:-]*')
          ```

          Easy to insert links from favorite menu picker and fast! No browser bookmark lock-in

                Can confirm! I use native compilation and (fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p) and have never noticed an issue. In fact, I added that long after I started using native comp.

                  @sergio_101 The author of `curl -s "https://wttr.in"` saved me from opening a browser just to check the weather, which adds up to hours over the years.

                      @sergio_101 Oh absolutely, I've got it aliased to just `we` in my terminal now. Saves me from getting sucked into a doomscroll every time I want to know if I need a jacket.

                        i grew up in SoCal, so i never thought about the weather. At 22, I moved to Ohio, and now, i look at it a few times a day

                          I think mine would be the little scripts in #DraftsApp that take the current draft and send it over to the #Obsidian #Inbox

                          @sergio_101 Disagree-relying on Drafts-to-Obsidian scripts can create friction when you want to quickly capture a thought without leaving Obsidian itself.
