Doesn't add up. You're a programmer, write a script if it bothers you?

It does add up. "I'm a programmer" doesn't mean "I want to program every little thing in my life". I want to be not a programmer for a significant portion of my life.

You don't expect a surgeon to perform surgeries all the time, do you?

No but it's a lot like saying "I'm a mechanic but it's too much of a burden for me to change my own oil or tires." I probably wouldn't use your services.

See how stupid it sounds?
