This distantly reminds me of http://xkcd.com/1205/ http://xkcd.com/1205/ , the saving time comic. When I looked at it, I noticed that the time durations surprised me, in that spending time automating (which can be compared to finding someone to delegate to) is often more worth the time than I would have intuitively felt.
I'm not sure if that's just a personality thing, or if people in general are more liable to not-delegate-when-they-should, than delegate-when-they-shouldn't.
- thirdtruck 13y agoAgreed. I might have spent the better part of three or four full work-days refactoring some code at work, but that was only after we spent a week of QA time and my own error-fixing time, all because I had not insisted on such refactoring in the first place. Never mind the time we will save going forward replacing in-browser tests with controller-level unit tests.
