Day 22: Nerd Brain Activate
Have you ever had that moment when someone asked you to do something using all the tools you have bought or built for years, and then you were finally able to say, "Yep, I got you."
An assignment you know nobody else could do but you...
An assignment that is so specialized that it gets your heart beating a little bit faster, and you can't wait to get home to work on it...
You're pissed you rode your bike because that means you have to wait another 30 minutes and 85 blocks to get started on this whizbang problem...
Well, that was me last night.
Check this out if you want to hear more about the problem I get to solve, click the thumbnail below, but the point is, problems are like OXYGEN.
If everyone knew how to fix their own bikes, there wouldn't be any bike shops.
If everyone knew how to make cocktail menus, some of you wouldn't have a job.
If everyone knew how to sell (or buy) booze, you wouldn't have a problem to solve.
Embrace the problems. LOVE the problems. SEEK the problems.
Fortunately this time, the problems found me and if I didn't have an understanding of marketing automation, webhooks, api post/calls, Google sheets (and it's advanced functions), Google Apps Script, etc. This particular problem may have gone unsolved.
Will solving this problem save the world? No. But it may save a bit of time, which is the most valuable thing we have.
