It was something that was consuming a lot of her time at work so I automated it. I’m using 3 cloud services and I’m well within the free tier of all of them, even with this week being peak load (it’s basically automating the sending of a bunch of emails for coordination purposes). All I had to pay for was the domain to get the emails working.

I have to say, there’s something so rewarding about small projects. I have complete control over the tech debt. I have complete control over the stack. I actually get to watch my one user use the software in person and give immediate feedback. The number of times she’s asked me for something and I’ve gotten it deployed within minutes has been so satisfying. And she’s so excited and grateful because I did 20 hours of work to save her a couple hundred and a lot of mental overhead.

I made a website for my wife that's some photos of her looking real pretty. It's not for anything, she's just real pretty.
