Really liked this episode. I started out Coding for my coworkers. I turned every job I ever had into a coding job, and just recently decided to actually change into a dev job. It all started 15 years ago when I was working for a company and the 2 guys next to me were working 40-hr jobs checking websites for prices to order supplies from the cheapest place possible. I immediately thought a computer should be able to do that and taught myself programming in my spare time.
I recently wrote a python script for my girlfriend's work schedule. Her employer sends the monthly schedule as a image within a PDF, with over 100 names in a tabluar format. The symbols used to annotate the different types of shifts - morning, evening, night, half day, full day, split - are so archaic and tiny that it's always hard to understand what's what. The script I made used OCR to find the correct column and maps over each cell to determine what type of shift it is and on what day, using a reference symbol for each shift type. It then spits out a calendar event for each detected shift. Made it so much easier to keep track of working hours!
Cool episode as usual! You guys are probably on this already, but I notice that Wes' videos tend to stutter - don't know if it's something with the framerate or encoding. The rest is butter smooth though!
Making automation and workflow scripts available to non-technical users can be very challenging. On macOS / iOS it’s helpful to use the Shortcuts application to package things up to make it easier for the user to provide input and run Shortcuts actions with the right context for their workflow. Really great tips in this episode, keep up the awesome work!
I'm working a car workshop and stylus/tampermonkey are my friends. Every parts distributor has a different platform with different invoicing systems and formats. I've made some pwa to convert files to ingest in our cms, also I reenable copying in sites that doesn't allow it and also made some script to copy the info i need with just one click. I love web tech (I choose ours because was web based) because I can enhance it without having to wait for developers to make changes.
This video was like reading my mind. Have been using ffmpeg and snippets in terminal to optimize video and small tasks that team has been doing manually with tools that are overkill like Adobe. Really appreciate the topic and would like to see ffmpeg get a video on its own. Been trying to combine audio for ads with voiceover and it's something ffmpeg has been helping with but could use some help.

Btw, Wes, your video is always choppy, something is wrong with your setup. Is there a mismatch between your shutter speed and fps?

Now he will write shownotes about him taking shownotes
Hahaha can confirm 😆shownoteception
Nvisia CEO says coding is dead, so stop talking about code guys!! 😃
I’m not sure we’re capable of not taking about code. We love it
@@syntaxfm Same: I have copilot installed but don't like using it as much.
Lol, I did think it was zedx
Nice
