Yep, that looks fairly accurate. Fortunately that “ongoing development” stage eventually ends at one point, but it can take a while, especially when you automate tasks for others. Ask any good code geek faced with working for others, he’ll tell you!

From XKCD:

Automating comes from the roots “auto,” meaning “self,” and “mating,” meaning “screwing.”
