  1. This is me.
  2. Making stuff boring via automation leads to stuff that we don't learn how to do because it's boring.
  3. Even boring automation needs maintenance.

How do we (collectively) maintain things we've made boring?

@yvonnezlam For me, automating a repetitive, boring task is not so much about avoiding (or inducing) boredom. It is about me not trusting my own result at a repetitive, boring task unless a computer algorithm delivers the same.

@TorbjornBjorkman Yes, that makes sense to me.

@yvonnezlam Realized I have a case in point right now: I've got grading coming up, and I don't trust the final result until both me with my pocket calculator and the algorithm I defined in the learning platform get the same result for my grading formula.
