I changed my mind about the AI noise

I built a stupid automation and it was worth it. It saves me four minutes a day. That's a day a year. The setup took an afternoon. Math wins, even when the zap is held together with hope.

I'm not claiming this is true for everyone. It's true for me, and the version I'd tell a friend is shorter than the marketing version.

The pushback I get is always the same, and it's usually right at the edges, not the center. The center holds: the boring practice beats the clever one most days.

If you take one thing from this, let it be the unglamorous part. The flashy bit is what gets demos; the plain bit is what gets used.
