Should you automate?
Most of the time, the answer is just yes.
However, sometimes it's harder to know.

Automation can have negative impacts on your mental health. Wait, I'm not here
to talk about that.

ANYWAY, here's a tool that will objectively~ decide for you if you should
automate a task or not.

Where to find it
https://git.jojolepro.com/should_automate/

It can be compiled using zig 0.9.0 with the following command:
zig build run


Alternatively, here's a linux executable weighting only 12KB:
./should_automate.bin

Usage
./should_automate


It will ask a few questions and report the time gained (positive) or lost
(negative) over the next 1, 5, 10 and 25 years.

In my opinion, if the number is over +20 hours saved in the first year, that's
a definite "yes, you should really automate this task."
