Way back in the Mesozoic Period of IT (about 1989) I had a boss
who, while clenching a lit cigar between his teeth (yes, there was
that back then), uttered these immortal words, “Your job is to
automate yourself out of a job.”
That master of inspirational communications was on to something.
He seemed to believe in motivating his people by obviating the
eventual need for ever having to have us around. At first, it was
confusing, I’ll admit that, but after a while it made sense....
