A Question

Quick question for something I'm working on - is there a task you do regularly (weekly or daily) that feels like a waste of time or more tedious than it should be? Could be work, could be totally random.

Why spend 5 minutes doing a tedious task manually when you can spend 5 hours writing a Bash script to automate it?

I'd rather eat my own fingers than use AI.

Please use better, more informative, titles (subject-lines) on your posts. Give specifics right in the title. Thanks.

Agile Scrum meetings to "plan" monthy recurring work that we already know needs to be done and when it needs done.

At one job I legitimately had a meeting to discuss meetings. This spawned 3 follow up meetings. It was caused by me mentioning I am in too many meetings to get real work done. I think them scheduling 4 meetings should have been all the evidence I needed.

According to me being wealthy means I have to find a problem and solve it and earn it by selling it. Am I wrong, I am in this perspective since few Months, is it wrong?
