Depends on the code, but often yes. The less you care about that specific result, the more efficient it is. One-off tools under 2k lines where you can easily verify the result? Why would I not generate that and save time for more interesting stuff?
Not all scripts are “ops”!
It was because writing one off tools took time and you needed it to do more for it to be worth the time.
Now a lot more are getting written because it takes a lot less effort. :-)
