Performing repetitive tasks in any area of life can be draining. This is especially true in programming, where time spent repeatedly making the same mechanical edit (or visually searching for some hidden problem) is time that you could have spent being creative. In the LabVIEW world, the technology that enables programmatic code modification and inspection is called VI Scripting. Whether you want to add a new VI-based feature to the LabVIEW editor, or programmatically find and fix a specific issue in your codebase, VI Scripting is the technology that enables you to automate repetitive tasks so you have more time to implement all your brilliant ideas. Most of my career has involved writing scripting code, so naturally, I'll be condensing 26 years worth of knowledge into 50 minutes. Let's goooooo....
