Best practices when working with periodic tasks

We’re a VERY small team so we try to keep our tooling costs down, specially when they won’t really benefit our productivity. The truth is that this project is very low priority and it wouldn’t even be a problem to just not do it. As someone who struggles finding or coming up with projects to practice, this seemed like a perfect opportunity.

Otherwise, I’d agree with you that buying would be better in most cases but I’m looking at this as a small personal challenge.
