I try to automate things whenever possible. Luckily today there are a lot of things that can be automated if you know how. And even more things if you are willing to learn a bit of something new.
What those automation systems however always lack is proper handling of exceptions. There is no way to define fine enough conditions to not trigger them. If you want to achieve something like that it usually requires you to define all the different situations except the exception. E.g. the wrong way around.
I mean sure, if you go all the way to the code level you can do that. But in all the consumer / end user level products the simplicity is always a priority it seems. Even the expert level solutions seem to be missing such a simple second order conditions.
It would be a great business idea to make such software that enables it. Unfortunately such features are usually baked in to the actual software so it would be hard to make a separate one that would enable those additional conditions in all of those products.
Maybe I just try to accept the fact that sometimes I need to revert the results of those automations manually. Still less work than doing them all by myself from the beginning 3very time. As long as they aren't irreversible.
