Scripting and Automation: This Manual Task Could Have Been a Script - Fred Tingaud - ACCU 2024
---
Some days, a few lines of scripting will save you hours of tedious manual work. Some others, you can get sidetracked into spending hours trying to automate something that could have been done in a few minutes manually...
Where do we draw the line? Some people say that 1h of scripting should save you at least 1h of manual work over the next few years to be valuable, but is it really the only parameter to take into account? When is automating a manual task a good idea and when is it just a distraction?
In this session, we'll try to think of all the value automating can bring and all the costs it entails. We might not end up with a simple equation like "time spent and time saved" to help us make easy decisions, but we'll have a more complete vision of what is at stake. And perhaps we'll find convincing arguments for our manager next time we want to wander a bit!

Fred builds tools to help you write better code.
By day he works at SonarSource on static code analysis. By night, he maintains Quick Bench and Build Bench, two website to micro benchmark runtime and buildtime of C++ code.

The ACCU Conference is the annual conference of the ACCU membership, but is open to any and all who wish to attend. The tagline for the ACCU is 'Professionalism in Programming', which captures the whole spectrum of programming languages, tools, techniques and processes involved in advancing our craft. While there remains a core of C and C++ - with many members participating in respective ISO standards bodies - the conference, like the organisation, embraces other language ecosystems and you should expect to see sessions on C#, D, F#, Go, Javascript, Haskell, Java, Kotlin, Lisp, Python, Ruby, Rust, Swift and more.The ACCU Conference is a conference by programmers for programmers about programming.
Discounted rates for members.
