What do you still do by hand?
Find the chore that sounds like your week. Each one runs on your own computer, with your apps and your sign-ins, and stops for your OK where it matters.
Chores you might recognize
- Every weekday morningEvery morning I log in to our supplier's portal, download the new invoices, and type each one into an accounting app from 2009.
- Every weekday eveningEvery evening I open a reporting app from the 2000s and click the same six menus to export the day's sales to a CSV for head office.
- Every morningEvery morning I read through fifty emails to find the five that actually need me.
- Whenever new orders come inI go down an order list in Excel, place each order on a supplier's website, and type the receipt number back into the sheet.
- Every few daysEvery few days I open each emailed invoice, copy the supplier and the total into a spreadsheet, and file the email away.
- Whenever the list growsI type each row of a spreadsheet into the same web form, one customer at a time.
- Every new listI open each company's website from a list and write down what they do, how big they are, and where they're based.
- Every morningI check the same product page every morning to see whether the price has dropped.
- Whenever PDFs pile upEvery week I open each PDF invoice our suppliers send and type the supplier, number, date, and total into an Excel sheet.
- Every month-endEvery month-end I type eighty rows of an Excel sheet into our sales system from 2005, because it has no import and no API.
- Every morningEvery morning I open our competitors' pages for forty products and copy each price into a spreadsheet.
If you write code
- Every MondayEvery Monday I update our dependencies, run the tests, and lose the morning fixing whatever broke.
- Every morningEvery morning I open each pull request just to work out which one could break something.
- Every releaseI SSH into each server, pull the release, restart the service, and curl the health check, one machine at a time.
- Every morningEvery morning I total yesterday's orders from a CSV export and write up the same little report.
- Every weekday at 2:00Some mornings the tests on main are red, and my first hour goes to finding out why and fixing it.
- Every new pull requestEvery pull request waits for my first pass, and most of what I flag, a careful second reader would have caught.
- Every new issueEvery new issue arrives without a label, and half the bug reports don't say how to reproduce the problem.
Every chore here is backed by a workflow that uses only steps Kitewell has.
