I was spending 6 hours a day on repetitive coding tasks. Then I built a ChatGPT-powered automation system. Now I work 2 hours and get more done. Here’s exactly how I did it (with code you can steal).
😫 The Problem: Drowning in Repetitive Code
Let me paint you a picture of my typical day before automation:
8:00 AM — Write API documentation for 3 new endpoints (45 min)
9:00 AM — Convert Figma designs to React components (1.5 hours)
10:30 AM — Write unit tests for yesterday’s code (1 hour)
11:30 AM — Debug error messages, add logging (45 min)
12:15 PM — Code review comments, refactoring (1 hour)
2:00 PM — Write SQL queries for analytics team (30 min)
3:00 PM — Create Jira tickets with acceptance criteria (45 min)
4:00 PM — Finally start actual feature development (2 hours)
Total: 6 hours on busywork, 2 hours on actual coding.
Sound familiar? I was a glorified code monkey, not an engineer.
💡 The Epiphany
One day, I was writing my 50th CRUD endpoint when it hit me:
“I’m literally doing what GPT-3 was trained on. Why am I not automating this?”
