Agree with the author. I have many simple automation scripts that are not written to the standard of my professional pride because it helps me stay in the flow.

Often, people say that you should only automate things if it saves you time overall: spend 5 minutes writing a script only if it saves you 6 minutes. However, not all minutes are equal. 5 minutes when you are close to a deadline is far more valuable than 5 minutes when you are "idling".

For this reason, I always appreciate it if tools are written with automatability in mind, even if they may not save a lot of time when automated. If I have to use PyAutoGui for every automation I write, I think it will be a lot more brittle than I like. If it uses two-factor authentication, it makes the automation even less "flow-breaking".
