Automation is great because it eliminates tedious tasks, but it also brings another great advantage... ...it highlights the unnecessary complexity we bring to processes, sometimes. To automate things, you need concrete rules*. To have concrete rules, you need to think things through. When you think things through, you find a moment to realize how silly you're being 🫠 ...and you re-design for simplicity. ⚡️ That's why experimental design is so important, before rushing into building or deploying something. ⚡️ *you also need clean data, but that's a whole other topic. #revops

Unlock the power of automation without the coding complexity 🛠️✨ But beware, speed can lead to slip-ups! Dive into why Low-Code/No-Code tools are reshaping workflow creation and how to navigate their risks with wisdom. 🚀💡 #LowCodeNoCode #Automation #TechInnovation https://lnkd.in/gk6ai3ii

Automation is great until it sucks. It's a slippery slope. Once we get a taste of how amazing automation can be, it's easy to want to automate EVERYTHING. But over-automation can be just as bad as no automation. (And sometimes worse). A clear sign you've over-automated is when simple tasks are now unnecessarily complicated. Instead of saving you time, your automations create more headaches: ❌ That 2-minute task now requires 6 steps, 3 integrations, and a dashboard login. ❌ One error breaks the entire chain, and you spend an hour troubleshooting. ❌ You can't remember the last time you did it manually—and if the automation goes down, you’d be lost. Remember, automation should be about simplifying, not complicating. If you’re spending more time managing your automations than actually getting things done, it’s time to take a step back. Streamline, simplify, and don’t let the tech run you. P.S. Are you an over-automator or an under automator?

Stop Thinking About Automation – Start Doing It Over the past few weeks, I've shared how automation can save you time and boost productivity. But talk only goes so far. It's time to take action. If you're still stuck in manual processes, you're leaving productivity and job satisfaction on the table. I know everyone is out there pitching AI, NoCode, and a host of other wonder tools, but the fact remains that automation is more than a buzzword. From factory looms to steam engines, automation has eliminated manual labor. Software automation does the same thing for digital tasks. Challenge yourself today: Pick one repetitive task and find a way to automate it. Need help getting started? Reach out. Let’s turn those ideas into results. As always life is too short to waste on work you hate!

AI-powered tools are revolutionizing task automation and debugging by enhancing efficiency and precision in development workflows. These tools streamline processes, allowing developers to focus on more complex problems by automating routine tasks and providing accurate debugging insights. This transformation is leading to more productive and innovative software development practices.

The benefit of automation is usually expressed in time saved but this may be an overly simplistic approach.  In the attached article I have added some methods and derived formulas that can be used to make a more robust conclusion. Also, how to compare two or more potential tasks ripe for automation and which one will bear the best fruit.  In deriving one formula, I noticed it was the same as the standard economic break-even formula which was an interesting find.

🤖 Automate Everything....? Let's make a decision together ! Life is about making the right choices at the right moments. When it comes to testing, some stakeholders might think everything should be automated. But that’s not always true. In our information-rich world, it’s crucial to ensure that the data we rely on is both accurate and trustworthy. Let’s explore this topic further. https://lnkd.in/e6SXugrp #testautomation #qualityassurance #roboticprocessautomation #softwaretestinglifecycle

How to save 10 hours a week? Wouldn't it be awesome to spend less time working on boring tasks and more time on what you love? Here’s the secret sauce: Use time-saving tools. Last weekend I sat down and created the Product Tapas Time Saving Tools and GPT database - a Notion page with ALL the top time-saving tools featured in each of the newsletters since day one. And the best part? It’s free. The catch? There isn't one. It’s time to say goodbye to tedious work and hello to life-changing automation. Take a peek at the link in the comments and thank me later.

Here's an automation that congregates an article on Feedly, sends the article to Perplexity, rewrites the article, sends the rewritten article to ElevenLabs, generates a voiceover of the rewritten article then uploads the rewritten article and the ElevenLabs voiceover to a folder using Make.
