As engineers, we like boolean logic. We like yes or no answers. We like right
answers. So, when coming across problems that do not have right answers, it
invokes a different pattern of thinking that we don’t use every day. One of
these such problems is deciding whether you should spend the time engineering
a task, or just do it manually.  I think as engineers we often default to the
technical solution, even if it means spending way more time putting together
the pieces to automate something vs just copy pasting something 50 times.
