Been asked to do a routine task today. This is the fifth time I’ve started it, the fifth time I said to myself “hmm, I should probably automate this,” and the fifth time I just did it manually. Now wondering if that was time well spent.

And that makes it the third time this week that I encountered a bug involving DynamoDB that was avoidable with a unit test that actually used a proper database.

(To be fair, this time is was my fault: I haven’t got around to writing the unit test yet).

I’ll bring the lighter fluid. #burn-all-computers-to-the-ground

(sorry, it’s been one of those days 😼).

@odd shared a link to O Rly and given the recent tech news I couldn’t help myself. Enjoy.
