“After seeing a receipt printer spitting out orders while grabbing some take-out the other day, I wondered if I could use one to print out a ticket each time an issue was added to one of my repos.”
A second-hand Epson thermal printer, the ESC/POS command set and a webhook. Every new GitHub issue now prints a ticket on his desk like a kitchen order. Notification emails disappear into an inbox. A strip of paper sitting next to your keyboard does not. Sometimes the fix for digital overload is analog.
