Some people are anti-automation.

I am an economist, turned into "data scientist" since I've learned to program in the past 5 years (hate that name...).

At a macro consultancy firm I worked, everybody lost it when I suggested that we moved our manually downloaded data from a bunch of excel spreadsheets to a proper database (28 years of macroeconomic data) so that we could programatically extract data for online reports we sent/hosted. They said I was being lazy...

I hope you took that as a compliment. Laziness is a virtue in programming, according to Larry Wall: http://threevirtues.com/
