I'm feeling a bit better. Starting today, I'll be returning to work as much as possible. This week will likely be spent catching up on tasks, replying to emails, reading overdue comments, etc. I also need to work with Piotr on instance infrastructure.

You can go a long way with just general purpose tools, and maybe you need to get some specialist tools for certain jobs, but this is by far the most useful convenience tool I use.
