I read it today too and it was inspiring, which was the whole point really. A couple of the footnotes made me laugh. I already make a lot of my own tools and plugins but I did get some ideas from the book.

I immediately set about updating one of my tools and got stuck. So the next question is: how long should you spend making a tool when you could have done it faster the manual way?

I got stuck trying to FTPs a file to my server. The lesson I consulted didn't work, and I stopped because figuring out why would have become a whole project. So I'm back to dragging the file to a Fetch shortcut.

I popped for the book. I already operate somewhat on this level but I learned something as a teenager when teaching myself to play guitar: There are always gaps in knowledge when a person learns that way.

I grabbed the book as well.
I always learn things from Andre.
