I love this. I don't know much about plaids but I really really really enjoy hearing stories of people replacing DIY, hacky, inefficient or simply long and painful pipelines and workflows with custom well designed software.

It's always nice to hear how much it helped people and removed the problems the previous version had - bonus points if it's for a small business or a single person rather than some giant enterprise org. I hope one day to actually be able to produce software that can benefit people that way. All I seem to do recently is write software that gets killed off because politics all while dealing with poor quality code from other teams and it's really demoralising.

I would love to know if anyone has a site or something where these stories are documented!
