<p>> No, everything that can be automated SHOULD be automated,<p>I disagree, because then the "human" part of our days are over.  If everything is automated, I don't need to interact with any human at all anymore - but the random small chat in the Bakery every couple of days is very nice. Ther will also be no chance to break out of the loop. Try to get a human involved if the automated system thinks "naa, not today", that's going to be difficult because companies prove they will fire the human as fast as possible because the task seemingly is fully automated.</p>

<p>> I imagine something similar happened to tailors who became factory sweatshop workers.<p>I'm really wondering where this goes. I'm not sure we are going to the "tailors", but maybe I'm also biased.<p>Tailoring completly got lost - there are basically none* in western europe (* if you don't count the couple of shops that adjust your clothes a little - try to find clothes Made in Europe). So are we going out-of-business and our code is coming from (name a country)?<p>Or are we going to exist, but it's all Fortune 500 and smaller shops have no chance of establishing themselves anymore?<p>Or is it going to be totally different and small shops will flourish and the Fortune 500 will loose part of the market?</p>

<p>> Brute forcing every move, no matter how stupid, is a great strategy if you have the resources to do it.<p>It may be, but it's IMHO also not worth writing a blog post about it. what's Next coming up? How I broke into a house by trying every door in New York?<p>If most of the work is only possible due to unlimited resources, it's not really a great invention, and it probably would have been cheaper to hire a (human) mole.</p>

<p>Or just developer/mansgement slop? I don't understand why every app needs to be updated every second day (at least it feels like that).<p>The easiest way to count how many apps you have is to turn off automated updates and wait a week. The number of updates equals the number of apps.</p>
