## What Jamie wrote

I totally agree with this. I find Shortcuts incredibly powerful. In fact, Shortcuts is [how I make the Weekly Thing](https://www.thingelstad.com/2017/06/23/assembling-the-weekly.html). I have fifty or so Shortcuts that I use frequently to automate routine things. It is kind of goofy that I will at times be working on macOS, and then pick up my phone so that I can run an automation on what I was just working on. 💯
