Until I've done something the same way two or three times, I just
recollect and steal. There are a few things that are in the back of my
mind to refactor out and make into libraries, but it's hard when they
aren't actually identical. Otherwise, it waits till there are a few
replicas, and then might get put into a central location somewhere.

Sometimes, I recollect and reference, which creates some very weird
interdependencies until I get around to refactoring...

https://github.com/Rosuav/MegaClip/blob/master/deviquotes.py
imports https://github.com/Rosuav/shed/blob/master/emotify.py
which gets an API key from the non-sample version of
https://github.com/Rosuav/MustardMine/blob/master/config_sample.py
and the end result of deviquotes is to rebuild this
https://github.com/DeviCatOutlet/devicatoutlet.github.io/blob/master/quotes.md

So running that one script can potentially involve four different
repositories, because I haven't yet made any of the pieces into proper
libraries...
