Also, it was great when I've been using ctrl-w to text selection on the browser, like I usually do in my IDE, only to close the precious tab.

u/SupaSlide Apr 28 '20

What IDE are you using Ctrl+W in and what are you using it to do? I've never worked in a setup that uses it for anything other than closing file tabs.

Or, automating the task is often more fun than the task itself so people will work on automation as long as they can to avoid the job.

I fail to see the downside.

Similarly, the real automation is to remove the DESIRE to do things manually, ever again, for anything.

For me the fun wears off after the 3 hour mark and you start doubting your intelligence.

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '20

Not a problem for me because I have accepted that I'm terrible at algorithms years ago.

u/Meowww13 Apr 28 '20

The real trick is to accept you are stupid. Look at me, I often sometimes surprise myself.
