Next, Michael Lydeamore talks about a bunch of tools inspired by the spirit of spending more time automating tasks than the automation saves you. Also known as XKCD 1205

#WOMBAT2025
Table with "how much time you save off" in rows and "how often you do the task" in columns. Each cell is how long can you work on automating the task before spending more tiem than you save.
