i keep noticing that a lot of automation is fine right up until something weird happens and nobody can explain the behavior anymore. you can still click the button, but the actual understanding has quietly moved out of the room.
do people treat that as an acceptable tradeoff, or do you try to keep a little manual literacy around on purpose?
That “can run it but can’t read it” gap usually happens when the automation hides its steps — no human-scale log, no intermediate output, just a green checkmark. I try to keep manual literacy on purpose too, even if it’s literally doing the workflow by hand once a month so the weird days don’t turn into folklore.
