Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)

I've asked this previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22849208

But a few years have past and want to see what's emerged since. Although can be new to you vs. released in 2021 or 2022 necessarily.

Things I've come across in the meantime:

* mock AWS services https://github.com/spulec/moto

* query cloud services https://github.com/turbot/steampipe

* munge CSV https://github.com/johnkerl/miller https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv

* page json https://github.com/PaulJuliusMartinez/jless

* text to tree structure [I use this as a hack to version control my music library] https://github.com/birchb1024/frangipanni

Home Assistant [0] through bunch of automations we have around our home must’ve saved 100h in total for me and my partner so far.

[0] - https://www.home-assistant.io/

* https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io

also alias to create jupyter kernel for activated environment:

    mkkernel() {
        if [ -n "$1" ]; then
            KERNEL_NAME=$1
        elif [ -z "$VIRTUAL_ENV" ]; then
            echo "Pass either kernel name as argument or activate virtualenv"
            return 1
        else [ -z "$1" ]
            KERNEL_NAME="$(basename $VIRTUAL_ENV)"
            echo "No kernel name provided, using name from virtualenv $KERNEL_NAME"
        fi
        pip install ipykernel
        python -m ipykernel install --user --name=$KERNEL_NAME
    }

Vim. I can never leave modal editing now. Been using it since 2010 and I think in vim when editing. It lets me enter a flow state so much easier. My brain maps into writing and editing.

The Mosh SSH client for intermittent connectivity ( https://mosh.org/ ) has definitely saved me at least 100 hours. Too bad that it's only available for Windows as a Chrome extension, and Chrome will discontinue support for it starting in the new year. Really not looking forward to having to search for an alternative...
