The flaw of human nature on display. And I don't mean that personal, not to you anyway, but to the human species.

Why? It seems very rational. Especially if you're just going to run it once to get a value and not as a part of some system.

  • Exactly, that's not a flaw, that's rational behaviour. Why design an intricate solution for a one-off. Using 15 times the amount of time it would have taken you manually to automate a pretty standard task is just stupid, though we all do it.

    Do the first thing that works, don't overthink it.
