😩 Boring, error-prone, repetitive, tedious work

Some examples:

• manually testing software
• manually constructing a bill of materials
• searching your email for some bit of information
• scrolling through logs looking for potential problems
• manually configuring a new server
• manually deploying software updates
• manually checking for spacing violations in a PCB layout
• building physical prototype circuits and trying a range of different components
• organizing parts or physical materials without an easy way to identify or sort them

If this describes what we are doing, there may be an opportunity for workflow or automation improvements. This is the kind of work computers do best -- to free us up for what humans do best.
