Hey, if it ends up saving time and stress after those two days it was worthwhile.
There's always a relevant XKCD.
Seems to have become one of the fundamental rules of the Internet now, I approve 👍
it wont, it's just more enjoyable to automate a task than to do it manually
There's something really satisfying about running a script that you know would save time. Even if the overall time is probably a negative.
I wrote a script that would log me into our AWS EKS stuff. I typically would have to copy these 7 lines and look up which cluster version I'd need. One of my lines just pulls all the clusters and I use fzf to select the cluster I wanted. Takes away all the pain and makes me feel smug. Love it.
It's a two minute task, but it happens randomly between the hours of "romantic dinner with my wife" and "ten minutes after the baby finally went down for a nap".
