I've recently been on a learn-about-economics spree, so I have a handy lens nearby with which to view this advice: you must not allow your gains to grow merely linearly (by constantly learning but not automating). The economic imperative is to allow gains to compound (by automating). Manual workflows cannot compound; automated workflows can.
