What's Stopping You Coding Like This

Someone out here really writing PowerShell scripts on their PHONE like they're texting their crush at 2 AM. Imagine debugging nested objects and piping commands to CSV exports while your thumbs are cramping and autocorrect is trying to turn "Sort-Object" into "Sorry Object." The sheer audacity! The dedication! The absolute CHAOS of trying to navigate curly braces on a mobile keyboard! What's stopping you? Oh I don't know, maybe the fact that I enjoy having functional wrists and a will to live? Some people really woke up and chose violence against their own productivity. Respect the hustle though—this person is out here exporting USB disk reports while waiting in line at Starbucks.

The 25-Mile Automation Detour

Programming Devops Bash Debugging

2 months ago 226.8K views 0 shares

Behold, the quintessential developer paradox! Crawling 25 miles through the desert to spend several hours automating a task that could be done manually in 5 minutes. It's like spending 4 hours writing a script to rename files when you could've just renamed them all in 10 minutes. But where's the intellectual challenge in that? The dopamine hit from automation is worth the dehydration, obviously. Remember: A true developer measures success not by time saved, but by how unnecessarily complex the solution was. If you're not overengineering, are you even engineering?

The Automation Paradox

The eternal developer dilemma: spend several hours automating a task that would take 5 minutes to do manually. Sure, the automation will save time... eventually... after the 84th run... in theory. But who's counting? Certainly not the developer crawling through the desert of inefficiency while ignoring the obvious oasis of just doing the damn thing.

Automation Saves Time (Eventually... Maybe... Never)

The quintessential developer dilemma: spend 1 hour doing a boring task manually with a grimace on your face... OR spend 6 hours writing a script that doesn't even work, but somehow feels like the intellectually superior choice. The dopamine rush of potentially automating something is just too powerful to resist, even when the math clearly doesn't check out. It's like buying a $300 mechanical keyboard to improve your productivity by 0.02%.

Spending 10 days to automate a 10-minute task isn't a waste of time—it's an investment in your sanity. Sure, the math doesn't add up until you've run that script 144 times, but who's counting? The true victory is never having to do that mind-numbing task manually again. Plus, those 10 days weren't just coding—they included 9 days of procrastination, Stack Overflow deep dives, and telling everyone how you're "optimizing workflow." The smug satisfaction alone is worth the time deficit.

Believe Me, Man, Using A Script Will Save Time

Spending 30 minutes writing a script to automate a 5-minute task is the developer equivalent of climbing Mount Everest "because it's there." Sure, we'll never break even on the time investment, but that's not the point. The point is that manual labor is for peasants, and we are nobility . We'd rather spend six times longer crafting an elegant solution than suffer through the indignity of clicking the same button twice. It's not procrastination—it's optimization . And we'll die on that hill, wearing our sunglasses indoors like the cool problem-solvers we pretend to be.

Gotta Optimize Everything

The eternal programmer's dilemma: spend 2 hours writing a script to automate a 15-minute task you'll never do again, or just... do the task? The math doesn't check out, but our brains sure think it does! That clenched fist represents the sheer willpower needed to resist opening a terminal and typing #!/bin/bash when you know deep down you should just get the task done manually. Fun fact: According to the "Automation Efficiency Threshold" (which I totally didn't make up), a task needs to be performed at least (development time ÷ manual time) times to be worth automating. But who follows that rule when you can write a cool script instead?

Behold The Performance Optimization Aristocracy

The aristocratic smugness is palpable . Nothing screams "tech nobility" like optimizing garbage code instead of rewriting it properly. Sure, you've made your spaghetti script run 1000x faster, but it's still held together with duct tape and prayers. The true art of programming isn't writing good code—it's making bad code perform so well that nobody questions its existence. And then strutting around the office like you've just invented quantum computing.

Work Harder vs. Work Smarter

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of spending 4 HOURS writing a script instead of suffering through 3 hours of mind-numbing manual labor! 💅 The DRAMA of it all - spending an EXTRA HOUR just to avoid clicking the same button 5,000 times like some sort of digital hamster on a wheel! But honey, that's not wasted time - that's an INVESTMENT in your sanity and future laziness. The script will be there tomorrow, but those 3 hours of your life? GONE FOREVER. Besides, what kind of self-respecting developer manually does ANYTHING that could be automated? The HORROR!

The Programmer's Time-Saving Paradox

The ultimate programmer flex: spending 10 days to automate a 10-minute task. It's not about efficiency—it's about sending a message to that repetitive task that dared to exist in your workflow. Sure, you could've saved 9 days, 23 hours, and 50 minutes of your life, but at what cost? Your dignity? The satisfaction of writing a script that will save you approximately 3 minutes per year for the next decade? The smug smile says it all: "Yes, I could've just done the task 1,440 times in the same timeframe, but my bash script is elegant ."

Automate Everything (Even When It Makes No Sense)

The classic programmer's dilemma: spending half a day automating what could be done manually in minutes. Sure, the math doesn't check out if you only need to do it once, but that smug beach photo says it all. Nothing beats the satisfaction of writing a script that makes a repetitive task disappear forever. The real ROI isn't the time saved—it's the smugness gained. We don't automate because it's practical; we automate because we're too stubborn to do the same thing twice.

Digital Afterlife: The Shitposting Automation Pipeline

SWEET DIGITAL IMMORTALITY! This person has created the most unnecessarily elaborate system to ensure their shitposting legacy lives on FOR DECADES after they're gone! 💀 They've built a full-blown pipeline with MULTIPLE TIERS of meme deployment - Basic, SLOWLINE, FIRSTLINE, and even the dreaded "Miss Wednesday" autoposter that will unleash content every Wednesday until the YEAR 2148! The sheer DRAMA of planning your internet trolling from beyond the grave is sending me into orbit! Imagine your grandchildren discovering your server still faithfully shitposting your ancient memes in 2090. THIS is the digital legacy we should all aspire to!
