Reasons why I <3 code
-
Spend 2 hours to automate a task that would take 1 hour doing manually. But I think it's justified because I avoid the risk that someone will mess up because the task was boring and repetitive. If you are lucky you get to spend 1 hour to automate a task that would otherwise take 2 hours.

In defence of this approach, I once spent a week writing a program to match up entries from the audit trails of three separate systems. To do this 'by hand' took maybe half an hours for a set of data. We had over 5,000 unique datasets to be checked. And all the anomalies were logged to a file for some poor git\* to check. \* Me

But not the risk that the program introduces an error which everyone fails to notice until it's cost the company half its revenue and started three wars?
