Somewhere around 2005, most of my job as an Oracle DBA/developer for a pension company seemed to consist of writing small scripts to automate some process. Somewhat like little Unix daemons to do my bidding - hence the handle ”daemoncoder” :-) I often joke that I'm just writing a small script to replace myself with. Currently I do a lot of data wrangling and analysis, mostly in Python, so still plenty of small programs to automate the boring stuff.
