QUIETLY GOING INSANE WITH TOOLS & AUTOMATION
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
This author started a project of automating a simple Unreal Engine task, but it quickly spiraled into an overly complex solution. His first attempt was a PowerShell script to delete specific project folders, but this evolved into a full-blown Windows installer using GitHub Actions to build a release. Eventually, he decided to use the language Zig to build an executable for the script, but Zig’s low-level nature proved hard to work with.
