I do know how to profile my code, and I'll also continue to bias towards not doing it now. Even if it could mean more pain later.
I think part of the problem is that the pain it causes is quite visceral, but the opportunity cost is pretty abstract, so it's a lot easier to just focus on the pain and forget about what you're gaining.
