I've recently learnt about lifetraps and it's made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

Since we live in the digital age, I think it would be awesome if everyone knew a little bit of python and how you can automate boring tasks using it. Well doesn't have to only be python but it would be cool if something like it was added to school systems

I know a little python but have no idea how I would use it to automate anything useful. Any suggestions? What do you do with it?

Look up Automate boring stuff with python

Not being sarcastic

To expand on this, it's a book/ebook with that title "Automate The Boring Stuff With Python."

I made a script to go through a folder and move them to new folders if image is in portrait or landscape mode

Back in my day, we used shell scripts and Perl AND WE LIKED IT!

Seriously though, learning anything to automate the boring bits can be good. Just test well before relying on anything.
