But I'd add that even tasks that only require a quick-and-dirty solution can frequently benefit from quick-and-dirty automation. A few throw-away lines in an interpreter environment like irb, for example can often shave several minutes of certain tasks, and throwing a lit bit of code into such tasks can certainly make some otherwise dull processes more interesting.
