Right but whilst the thing is easier with better tools, and indeed the process has changed, to me 'automation' of a task refers to its process being reduced to, at best, a daily 30s review. Tools are... Ways of optimising and changing a process. Automation obviates them. It's a personally lexical stand, you can sanely differ.

So when you hit assembly line I was with you. "That* is automation
Well... Automation usually describes process automation and you've just listed tools. So yeah, I agree, people don't think of them as automation. Because, colloquially, they're not.
That's still rather recently, and there's rather a large stock of 'before people' hanging around. But I agree inasmuch as it'll change as time goes by and one day you'll be right.
In that case, stil reckon a higher proportion ofl Rust devs contribute to Linux than C devs
What's a rust programmer? Someone who's ever written anything in it? If the same holds true for C, probably a higher percentage than of 'C programmers' given how long that's been a teaching language lol

You sound like you're talking about application run performance. That shouldn't be noticeably different. Startup and application load time tend to be where the gains are.
The brightly coloured poisonous creatures aren't the problem, it's the dull brown ones...
I mean, that's true, but I'd prefer one of those big ol' mushrooms. Why emulate one thing when you can have a great real thing? Fried potatoes/bubble'n'squeak/hashbrowns I'd go for though
They can have the beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and toast though. Doesn't sound too awful to me.
