I am a lazy coder and data analyzer. I use text editing tools to search and replace and manipulate so I can then use a spreadsheet tool to break text into columns and rows. Then I can extract data or write code that follows patterns without a lot of manual work. If I am working on code, I can copy and paste it back into my text editor, remove the tabs, and then I have clean code.
