Work Smarter, Not Harder; Make Yourself Indispensable!
summary
Claims concrete: Unix tools and bash aliases cut repetitive work, a rule of three triggers automation, and a zip-to-drawables shell script replaces manual dragging. Tools named: grep sed awk, Jenkins, git, Charles, curl/Postman, Android Studio plugins (Key Promoter, Key Caster). Built items: login script that sends credentials over adb, CSV-to-Gradle generator, quiet-logs alias for adb logcat. Examples show Dagger crash diagnosis and routine merges sped up — scripts and IDE features actually run and reduce errors and time.
