Great post. I had to scrub some production data last night that required a lot of manual checking before moving to the next step. I really wanted to just write a script, but there wasn't enough data to merit that, nor could I really work out how to automate the whole process that late in the day.

Automation saves time, enables repeatability, avoids mental overhead, and can be rewarding.

Definitely had those thoughts and feelings when I used my two simple methods over and over again.
