Sometimes the manual steps grow like weeds. Where I’m at now, they haven’t invested in automation much at all. Now deploys take all day. Making a code change is a sweaty manual regression search process. It’s bad.
it’s worse when everything is manual because they don’t “trust scripts” due to them not fully understanding what automation means.
I know it’s supposed to be a joke how a nerd will spend six hours writing a script to automate a 30second task but… it’s not really funny.
Working with less-experienced developers, I’m amazed at how slow everything is for them: No keyboard shortcuts, no automated scripts, just slow, plodding mouse-driven tinkering.
Automation, shortcuts, and scripting drive your ability to iterate and therefore learn.
Train your fingers, and spend those hours automating repetitive stuff. It’s worth it.

I swear we must have started posting at the same time, but adding an alt text to the image cost me 2 minutes apparently. xD
Having alt-text makes yours superior; I will, therefore, cede the content to you. :)
Why spend 10 minutes doing a task when you can automate it in 6 hours?
hey, the 24 hours i invested were totally worth it to save 30 minutes of work over a year!
