What are some things that you have built for your own personal tooling?
I'm currently on that stage of my career where I'm thinking of investing time in automating some of the tasks that I perform frequently during my day job or otherwise. That could be from setting up a fresh laptop to my preference to fetching/opening source in Bitbucket/Github from command line, to recurring shell commands that I execute for work.
Interested to know what tools/software you've built for your own productivity and your tools of choice?
I like to read articles and blog posts, so I have a workflow where I email myself a web URL and have a scheduled program pull out these URLs, extract the article body text, and convert to mp3.
A version of the program is on GH:

I used to have personal scripts, programs, etc for my preferences, and various on-the-job tasks. Over time, I cared less and less about personal customization and my work has become less varied that I need so many specialized scripts. Lastly I rarely now install operating systems when I used to fresh-install every version that got released.
I wrote a simple script that will launch a project and its dev environment in a single command ("project HomeServer -S").
It's simple, but insanely useful. I use that command many times a day.
When we were using redshift I built a python script/cli tool to query redshift and export JSON. That’s the only thing that comes to mind of late.
