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.
