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.

It's the classic "I could write this in 3 lines, but my resume needs buzzwords" approach. We've all been there—turning a simple task into a dissertation-worthy implementation because "scalability" and "best practices," when really we just wanted to flex our design pattern muscles.
