Automation cultivates judgement

There’s a moment when tutorials stop being enough.

For me, it happened while designing automation for a project that refused to behave. No guide could tell me what decision to make next.

That’s when I understood it.

Tutorials convey information.

Automation cultivates judgment.

Automation isn’t mechanical. It’s intentional. It requires planning beyond the happy path and thinking like both the system and the user.

This is where learning stops being passive and starts becoming professional.

And honestly, that’s the part I’m most excited about.
