The darker version is:

  1. Identify someone you don't like in the organization.
  2. Automate away their job by coding a script in a few hours.
  3. They get laid off, the script never gets run. No one notices.

... this is me with excel files for random bookkeeping shit lol. Everyone's are so ugly... but I'm making these look nice for all of like... 3 different people that use them lol. So at least when I have to do these random tasks twice a year... they look nice! Even if the old stuff worked or doing it by hand with a legal pad was sufficient... I gotta have that Excel column auto sum damn it!

I do the same thing at my work. We have to update pricing information for 100,000s of items so I made templates for our team with xlookups and if-then statements so it takes less than one second.

I still catch people doing it manually every 6 months…
