The Programmer Is Also a Tooth of the Complexity Ratchet

The reason I have a job is that my work cannot be automated, but part of my job is to automate as much of my work as possible. Hmm... most of what makes it so complicated and hard to automate is all the layers of partial automation. I wonder if there’s a way to go back to the start and simplify things so that I don’t have a job any more? Well, time to cut off that line of thought and get back to work!
