I had just finished writing a script to take employee contact information from an Excel Spreadsheet and put it into Active Directory, which had a problem in some form or another for several months now, when I recieved an email message from the ‘AtriCure Stock Bot’ which I wrote to automatically mail AtriCure’s stock price to our CEO every hour on the hour.
It feels good to write code and know that the code you’re writing is doing something useful.
