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?
