Okay, I need some ideas...
I'm trying to come up with creative ways in which to use Perl (or Python) to make my life at work easier. It seems like there must be a way that I can automate some piece(s) of the process and in doing so, perhaps accidentally come off being more productive than I really am (which isn't that hard to do when you get the computer to do your work for you). My daily routine involves some of the following tasks:
Doing my "prototyping" in a language like Perl or Python isn't feasible really either because the app is huge, so the amount of code I'd have to write just to get to the point where I could start prototyping wouldn't be worth the effort. But what about, for example, all that SQL coding? Has anyone figured out some interesting ways of reducing their workload when faced with writing lots of SQL (an Access-like drag-drop style SQL generator seems like farrrrr too much work)? What about unit testing? Writing effective unit tests for GUIs seems impractical enough to call "impossible". What other ways have you found to make your life easier at work? I'm far lazier than Powerbuilder allows me to be, and feel like I'm missing out on ways to do things faster. Any ideas would be appreciated.
