Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
Hundreds! Doesn't everyone? Most of them are just bash scripts, many of which have now reached a complexity so high that I wish I'd started writing them in a different language but it's too late now. The majority of the rest are Python.Off the top of my head, the most used ones are:* A replacement front-end for "tar" and various compressors* A script to synchronize my music library to a compressed version for playing in my car* A secure-but-readable password generator* A system to batch compress folders full of video files. (For ripped blu-ray discs, mostly.)* A replacement front-end for "ffmpeg", see above* A "sanity check" program for my internet connection to see if the problem is me, or Comcast* A front-end for "rm" that shows a progress bar when deleting thousands of files. (Deletes on ZFS are unusually slow.)And lots more tiny things.
