+              The task here is simple: to reduce work, it's a simple investment. The choice of picking the correct
+              bottleneck is as important as the tool itself, as this gives it use. If it's never used, it never creates
+              value. The same goes for uptime, it's important that stability is almost perfect, as downtime undermines
+              the utility of having the tool. Remember that making and using a tool also creates debt for future
+              maintenance of the tool.
+              <br>
+              To adhere to this, I often choose Golang or Python as they are cheap to maintain. Golang has good
+              stability because it is easy to code and compile checks give early error detection. A word of caution on
+              AI generated tools: while they are cheap to make, the maintenance debt grows exponentially, as the code is
+              often poorly understood by the team and difficult to reason about over time.
