Automating processes became trivial - development groups have devOps tasks to set up an environment, build and deploy code. Still, there’s a gap - are these the only things we do regularly? How often should I repeat some process in order to automate it? I encourage you to automate as soon as it’s worth it, but sometimes, as a busy developer, you just don’t get to it. Psychology says that you will probably continue to do things manually if you did it manually long enough. Well, it’s a fallacy, I claim it’s almost never too late. I’ll give examples of how creating a code generator made our life easier along the way, and of how I didn’t fall for the fallacy when I just didn’t get to it.
