Re 2, sometimes I waste more time than I save automating but then the task becomes more pleasant, friction is reduced so anything that helps stay in the flow is also a win for me.
And some automations have similar steps so you can borrow from these you already have

So yeah, the "how many times you do the task" counter is a very bad metric of how worthwhile it is to automate. And on the other dimension, of "how long it is to write a program", well, it's a simple matter of precisely predicting the effort for a development task. We all know developers are great on this. Overall, this is a fun comic, but people shouldn't read anything else from it.
