Show HN: Taskemon, CLI tool to print task tickets with a thermal printer

Inspired by this article by Laurie Hérault[1] which explains how understanding the science of video games helped them "cure" their procrastination, I built a simple CLI tool in Go to print those tasks and added a fun little twist, a "Pokemon roulette", of sorts.

Code is messy since I built it thinking I'd just throw it into a dotfiles repository, but it works, which is what matters. I'll work on improving it after I test the technique and ensure it works for me.

I'm going back to work tomorrow after three months of paternity leave, and will test further to see if the technique really works. Here's hoping.
