#automate

Using make.com to #automate the process of turning my YouTube videos into blog posts.

1) Watch files in Google Drive folder
2) Download latest file
3) Create transcript of audio
4) Create blog post from transcript
5) Write blog post into Google Sheets

Love it.

Continued thread

Aaaand now I overdid it. I now have two solutions using #Automate:

1) My partner can send me a text message with special content at any time and my phone will send her (non Google) #map pin with my exact #location.
2) My phone automatically, every 15 minutes, pushes my location to a #firebase db. And since it's firebase, my partner can simply explore the JSON via webbrowser.
3) [TODO]: Make a simple web app that pulls down #JSON from said firebase and displays the timeline.

@andypiper I've now gone a touch backwards on the "#automate everything" thing often favoured by "10X developers" and management. Similar to reducing dev to dev content I worry that automation can reduce people's [*] understanding of the underlying actions, making people don't have to learn them, and risk running into trouble if it goes wrong and needs to be debugged/changed ... Unless adequate #documentation are in place, which they often aren't
[*] - Except the person who wrote it

You usually want a separate virtual environment for your #python project. And it is quite annoying to activate it whenever you start your work on it.
Here is an example of how you can #automate the activation of your env with Makefile. This makes it possible to just run `make go` to start your project in your #venv automagically. You can also add a similar `test` target to run tests in the env you want by just running `make tests`. #makefile #development #automation #coding
