`Automate Everything`
Performing manual, repetitive tasks enrages me. I used to think this was a corollary of being a programmer, but I’ve come to suspect (or hope) that this behaviour is inherent in being human.
I couldn’t agree more. It’s human nature to do things as easy as possible. In the case of a developer, you have one more huge tool in your toolbox, and repetitive tasks on computers are the worst kind of repetitive tasks. My advice: automate the shit out of everything.
