I guess i mean something different than you do when i say "everything
gets done automatically".

As you wish, but please note that this gets me very unmotivated to do
anything and continue my work.  Following your plea for more
automation, and knowing about problems with Patchy that showed on
2240, i decided to pause my other Lily work and focus on improving
Patchy and our development workflow.  I took the approach of solving
problem causes instead of symptoms: it takes more time, but its better
in the long run.  I've spent about 30 hours on Patchy in the previous
week despite exam season.  Now i feel like a noob because i haven't
finished a simple python script till Jan 29, and my 30 hours of work
seem to be worthless.  Great.
