" summary

Automation saves time by turning repeated work into reproducible steps: perform a task three times then automate so the third run is automated. Uses grunt for image resizing and launching tests, Compass/SASS for sprites, Alfred for quick local commands, and a generator called Yen for opinionated project scaffolds. Browser Sync drives six or seven browsers at once to live-reload changes. Claim: initial time investment pays off with faster, more consistent deliverables for client projects.
