I disagree. Toil is part of everyone’s job and what creates procrastinators. I used it recently to help me write a browser extension, where I find writing vanilla js and xpath expressions very tedious (just a bunch of syntax lookup) and would not have even bothered in the first place.

If you approach it with the right mindset, it’s extremely valuable.
