I use a tool called Redmine to help manage my projects. https://redmine.dougmccaughan.com/ My first task today is to upgrade it to the latest version.
Update: And here is an example of the day to day frustrations that drive a computer programming into the fields of construction and bartending…something that should take moments potential becomes hours as it evolves from a simply upgrade to a research project.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.Provided configuration options:

Solution (as I expected): commented out references to postgresql and sqlite in Gemfile
This is a truly brilliant thing!
