If you’re bored with your work it’s sign that you should be automating something, or else someone else will do it for you and you’ll be out of a job.

- dominotw 8y agoMy workplace has lots of parties counting on the "process" being in place.
- barbecue_sauce 8y ago"parties" as in stakeholders, or "parties" as in joyful celebrations?
- dominotw 8y agoformer :)
- platz 8y agoThere are a limited (and contested) number of non-boring jobs. Eventually someone has to take out the garbage and clean the toilets.
- hhs 8y agoSpeaking of that, I wonder when there will be robots (i.e., with good software) that will help take out the garbage, clean the toilets, and possibly fix plumbing?
- platz 8y agoLol, plumbing especially will never be automated
- Swenrekcah 8y agoit might be in large future apartment buildings where the necessary robotics are built in during construction
- platz 8y agoI think we'll eliminate pipes (e.g traditional homes) before that happens.. we might as well be living in the fully sci-fi speculated future where nanobots control all physical structure and we have near-infinite power sources
- hhs 8y agoThat would be interesting, I wonder if there would be nanobot-like "pipes" (or some other framework) built into the physical structure of homes?
- Brakenshire 8y agoYou’ll have closed black box plumbing systems which are meant to fix themselves, but in fact constantly fail. Then you’ll have a cadre of rogue plumbers, who will fix the problems illegally and off the books. These plumbers will all look like Robert De Niro: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_(1985_film) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_(1985_film)
- mbrubeck 8y agoPlumbing is automation. Without plumbing, human labor is used to haul water from wells and cart away human waste.
- platz 8y agoeverything is an automation of some more complex system on top of it
- tomjakubowski 8y agoI think there's some confusion here between plumbing as in the trade and plumbing as in the infrastructure.
- mathgladiator 8y agoThis is solvable with management and hiring a full time house keeper that is empowered to call a plumber.
- hhs 8y agoThat's one way. Though, I wonder about the groups of people who own houses and might want to fix plumbing more independently?
