Re:Ask HN: Do you automate most of your routine tasks? by roel_v on Thursday March 31, 2011 @07:11AM (#2391071)
I used to, until I spend a whole day on a vim script that, realistically, only would save me significant amounts of time by the time the work I was automating would bring in 1000's of dollars a day.

Nowadays I only do it after it's been proven (or I'm 100% certain up front) that a certain task will come up more often, and that letting someone else do it is not feasible or cheaper.
