perl-for-reysenbach-lab
These are perl scripts I developed over many years as a Bioinformaticist for the Reysenbach Lab at PSU. The Reysenbach Lab studies microbial diversity in extreme environments. Lotta fasta utilities here if you are into that sort of thing.

Why Automate?
Folks enjoy citing XKCD 1205 in automation discussions because it does a great job illustrating the opportunity time cost of automation. The time spent to code a new solution for an already solved problem doesn't help solve business goals until after the investment pays off.

I setup my terminal for max productivity
as framed in the introduction of this article, https://xkcd.com/1205 is hard to ignore whenever i'm spending time configuring a tool in the name of "productivity"
but i just got nushell properly set up and i've realised that the table doesn't capture the whole dynamic: there's more to work than time trade-offs when new tools enable entirely new types of tasks.
nushell makes working with structured data fun and so i've started benchmarking my code and quickly doing performance analysis - something i was rarely doing before.
you can still ultimately reduce this down to time saved, i suppose, but as a person who's generally skeptical of terminal tweaking as procrastination in disguise, i can highly recommend giving nushell a go.

Blog Posts, Sorted by Sleep
I believe most of us sleep fewer than 3 times per day, so writing down times and doing a few subtractions and a little data entry once a week should be under 1 min/day to have everything digitised. (that said, https://xkcd.com/1205/ suggests it'd be worth spending up to 21 hours to fully automate)

Faster tetranucleotide (k-mer) frequencies!
There are no more obvious or easy gains here. Any more work is likely to yield small returns. Go outside, have a life or at the least consult the relevant chart.

Apple built iCloud to store billions of databases
It isn't as polished as whatever first-party solution Apple has the potential to develop, but I just use OneDrive to restore my personal data + chezmoi to reprovision my dotfiles and it works pretty well.
About every six months I do a fire drill and completely factory reset my macbook. Takes about 20 minutes (with only 5 minutes of actual keyboard attention required) for me to go from a fresh device to one that has all my apps and developer tools ready to roll.
