It’s not full proof, but the heuristic that your stakeholder will ask you for the same thing next week (or immediately ask you to do the same thing but slightly differently) has held pretty true for me
- ACow_Adonis 5y agoyes, I've got a little heuristic I use to tell the beginner analysts at work when to think about automating their work or putting it into a script. if you're doing something once and once only, maybe it's a candidate for the manual or gui way. if you think you might do it twice, it's almost certainly time to automate or start programming it. Anything encountered in business that you encounter more than 1 time is likely to be encountered N times more.
