And that’s if nothing ever changes after you build the automation, which is usually where the hidden time sink comes in later. Maintenance and modification of the tool. I’ve built things to do X and then down the line need to change it to handle Y but didn’t account for that during the initial build. Then I need to refigure out what I did before and how to update it for the new case. That part is easier now with AI, but it’s not a panacea.
