The Agony of Manual Receipts: A Comedy in Several Acts

Picture this: it’s tax season. Donors need receipts. You, dear developer, are stuck wrestling with spreadsheets and outdated software. The laughter of children playing outside mocks you. Each receipt is a tiny, precious snowflake of uniqueness, painstakingly crafted by hand. Copying and pasting addresses becomes your new extreme sport. Did you accidentally transpose two digits? Oops, back to square one! The printer jams, naturally. It always jams. Ink cartridges are empty. Of course, they are. The clock is ticking. Support requests flood in: “Where’s my receipt?” The irony burns. You thought you were building amazing things with Charitable, but half your time is spent battling the beast of manual receipt creation. Your dreams of streamlined efficiency crumble as you confront the sheer, unadulterated joy of repetitive tasks. Is this really the best use of your time? The universe whispers: there has to be a better way.
