I have a friend who went so deep into VBA macros, he automated 90% of his entire job (which covered 3-4 peoples’ worth of jobs) with scheduled tasks, nested macros, and even managed to set up a macro to move the mouse every few mins so the messenger status didn’t switch to ‘away,’ while he worked from home and chilled most of the day. Literally all he would have to do is keep a virtual desktop session open and most of his job would do itself (despite his responsibilities growing regularly).

It was inspirational

Sounds like his job was shitty. But good for him

This is why AI will take so many jobs.

This is just task automation, but yeah, he did effectively fill multiple personnel roles with his macros

I saw a great thread online about a Black physician who saved the day when a patient came in for an urgent MRI, but had metal pins in her wig so none of the white nurses or doctors could get it off.

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out.

My neighbour works in a local grocery store, so he has been at work since the Day 1 of lockdown. So if you need medical help, or want to eat, it’s ok for those people to be at work, but their kids have to stay home? Cont’d >>

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
