Overview
Manual, repetitive work is slow and error-prone. We invest in automation for testing, builds, deployments and checks so humans spend their judgement where it matters.
Why
The reasoning behind "Automate Repetitive Work" will be captured here — grounded in real engineering trade-offs rather than theory.
Standard
The concrete, enforceable expectations for "Automate Repetitive Work" will be defined here as the principle matures into a standard the team can hold each other to.
Examples
- A real example will be added once this principle has guided a shipped decision.
Counter Examples
- A real counter-example will be added from a decision that ignored this principle and paid for it.
Lessons Learned
- Lessons will accumulate here through applied engineering experience.
