Why setting up automation is always worth it

As developers, we often find ourselves weighing up the benefits of automation against the overhead of setting things up. This is true for our personal workflows as well – I often have an idea of how I could automate various arduous tasks, but in reality, it’s difficult to justify doing so.

I ended up going with my gut on this one, and built a ‘calendar sync tool’ that automates the process. It turned out to be 100% worth it – and in this article, I’m going to argue that it’s always worth automating!
