Write admin tools from day one (2022)
Can’t say I agree. You should only build tools if the time saved on the task is greater than the time it takes to build the tool. And in a lot of cases, you don’t actually know in advance what the common and time consuming admin tasks will be. The absolute worst thing is to spend valuable time building an admin tool you don’t end up using. So wait until you see an actual need, and then build your tools.
