Ad Hoc Tasks vs Recurring Processes
Developers should learn to manage ad hoc tasks effectively because they are common in dynamic work environments where priorities shift rapidly, such as in startups, agile teams, or incident response scenarios meets developers should learn and implement recurring processes to automate repetitive tasks, enhance system reliability, and improve operational efficiency in production environments. Here's our take.
