Dumb question but do data scientists make an effort to automate there work?

Lowly BI person here -- just curious outside of maths, data modeling, and drinking scotch in the library, do data scientists make an effort to automate their work? Like are there tools or scripts you all are building to be more efficient or is it not really a part of the job?
