Re:Ask HN: Do you automate most of your routine tasks? by coolgeek on Thursday March 31, 2011 @10:45AM (#2391769)
"We will encourage you to develop the three great virtues of a programmer: laziness, impatience, and hubris."

-- Larry Wall

Task automation encompasses all three virtues:

Laziness - "I don't want to do this task every (other) day"

Impatience - "I don't want to spend time doing this task"

Hubris - "Of course this will work on the first try"
