Implement the simplest thing that works, maybe even by hand at first, instead of adding the tool that does "the whole thing" when you don't need "the whole thing".

Eventually you might start adding more things to it because of needs you haven't anticipated, do it.

If you find yourself building the tool that does "the whole thing" but worse, then now you know that you could actually use the tool that does "the whole thing".

Did you waste time not using the tool right from the start? That's almost a filosofical question, now you know what you need, you had the chance to avoid it if it turned out you didn't, and maybe 9 times out of 10 you will be right.
