The eternal programmer's dilemma: spend 10 minutes doing a task manually or invest 10 days building an elaborate automation script that you'll use exactly once.

It's like buying a CNC machine to sharpen a pencil—completely irrational yet somehow the most rational choice for our engineering brains. We don't automate tasks because it's efficient; we do it because manually repeating anything feels like digital torture.
