Automate my posts on bufon.nl

Let me be clear: I’m not lazy. I’m really lazy. There’s a difference. A lazy person skips the work. A really lazy person spends a whole Saturday building a machine so they never have to do that work again. It suits the name. Bufon means jester, and the jester was the one person at court who never carried anything. He juggled, told the king the truth and let the servants do the rest. My servants are a GitHub workflow and a cron job. They don’t get paid either. In Get on the bike! I wrote that you should do something by hand once, script it the second time and automate it when it annoys you again. Publishing posts had reached step three.
