Thanks, Tomasz! I am reminded of this quote
<https://www.stickyminds.com/article/douglas-adams-software-development>
from Douglas Adam:

"I have a well-deserved reputation for being something of a gadget freak,
and am rarely happier than when spending an entire day programming my
computer to perform automatically a task that would otherwise take me a
good ten seconds to do by hand. (Last Chance to See)"
