I don't know how much you guys know about scripting when it comes to computers.
For those not familiar, scripting is basically telling the computer what you want it to do in a language it can understand. Very VERY useful for task automation, which is what I use it for at work. I primarily use Powershell.
I've been working on and off on a script for about a month that would pull user information from Active Directory and export it into an Excel document. Saves me the headache of having to copy and paste every little bit of user account information into a notepad. I've been running into multiple errors and issues with said script since I started working with it. I shelved it for a while to work on other projects and priorities. I came back to it this afternoon since I found myself with quite a lot of free time.
Three hours and multiple tests and debugs later, I finally got it to work. Three minutes before I had to leave.
I squealed (thankfully my door was closed and my office mate was working from home).
I plan to fine-tune it next week, but for now I'm just happy it works.
Tech would be so fucking proud of me.
