1. The Day I Realized I Was Doing the Same Work Twice
It started with a small irritation — rewriting the same emails, generating similar reports, and fixing repetitive bugs. None of these tasks were hard, but together they drained my focus.
One evening, while watching my terminal run a data pipeline, I thought — “If I can automate database jobs, why not my own tasks?”
That moment pushed me to design what I now call “The Automation Stack” — a combination of ChatGPT, Python, and public APIs that runs half my job on autopilot.
In this article, I’ll walk you through how I built it, the mistakes I made, and the results that changed how I work forever.
