So, I use AppleScript. Probably overuse it, to be honest. And, likely, I use it wrong. To me, it's like a Swiss Army hammer that can clobber any situation that needs automation. I'll share my journey from making a button to detecting them in the UI. Come hear about how I love and misuse this weird, old language, integrating all sorts of other code and API calls into my scripts, and the (hopefully well-commented) trail I've left through my career.
