I just setup /.vscode/tasks.json in a VSCode project where using `Tasks: Run Task` opens 3 terminal tabs and launches everything by running `yarn dev` for each app in the monorepo … the monorepo that collects the 3 apps under the nysee.nyc umbrella.

And then it’s heads down, bang shit out.

This was such a nuisance having to do this repeatedly and manually.

For quite a while now I’ve gone to extreme lengths to automate as much of my work as is possible. Typical developer, spend 3 hours building something that I could have done manually in 10 minutes. heh. Difference being that now it takes 3 seconds to do this every time going forward.

And no, it took about 10 minutes to set this one up.

Now that Lowdown is a bit of an idea bank, thinking I put some of those tools up here for anyone to pull of the shelf and run with

GitHub Gist if you wanna: mechaneyes/tasks.json
