I was cleaning out my old hard drive and found a Photoshop action from 2012
It was a batch process to add a "web 2.0" glossy button effect, and it had 47 separate steps. I ran it on a shape just to see, and my computer froze for a solid minute. It made me realize how much the simple 'inner shadow' layer style replaced that whole crazy process. Has anyone else dug up an ancient workflow that seems insane now?
