Sounds a little bit like Paul Graham's argument for doing things that do not scale. Until doing something manually, or the hard way, becomes a serious blocker, don't try to fix it with technology because it's almost certainly not worth it, esp. if you're not actually losing money from it. I certainly stopped wasting a lot of time on pointless half-baked automated tools after I read that.
