Perhaps you forget that laziness is the first great virtue of a
programmer:

Laziness:
    The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall
energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that
other people will find useful, and document what you wrote so you
don't have to answer so many questions about it. Hence, the first
great virtue of a programmer... See also impatience and hubris.

In general, programmers are better at automating tedious, repetitive
tasks than they are at performing them.
