How can automating such ordinary tasks make much of a difference?
The very ordinariness, the very normalness of tedious work seems to help make it invisible. It is so ordinary that the industry just accepts the huge amount of project time it consumes. Identify a repetitive, patterned task on one of your projects. Calculate the amount of time it takes to do it once manually, and multiply that time by the number of repetitions that will be required. Then do the same for other repetitive, patterned tasks on the same project. The arithmatic is compelling. Those tasks eat huge amounts of project time. Our goal is to eliminate a high percentage of your programmers’ repetitive manual work, while at the same time improving the quality of what they produce.
