    Not a programmer.
    I spent the odd hour a day for a year and half, googling VBA to make a multi-page report with pictures and such generate automatically after the import of a CSV file.
    All so I could do 30 reports I was secretly backlogged on that would have taken me about 3 days to do manually.

      After getting into Linux I decided I should learn programming too in case it’s useful and I’ve been trying to slap together little programs for doing things like logging the weights of my tree frogs or data scraping image hosting sites. Coding is actually pretty fun for the ADD brain. Lots and lots of problem solving, a system to figure out, autism brain logic stuff, it’s great.
