> "If you could write a program that could replace yourself, would you?" I've done it a bunch of times, sometimes by accident. In one case I was going to be assigned to do testing every evening. But I wanted to go home at 6 every day, so I automated the tests on my first day, then came back in the morning and started 'working on my next task'; never realizing that previously the testing job had been a full time position. I ended up doing about 5 people's worth of work there that summer. Of course, it's probably because the project wasn't particularly organized, and our team was explicitly given a free hand to find inefficiencies and fix them. Still, it's a nice story to tell people ;-)
