I think most of us are feeling some schadenfreude because the poster is ripping-off a law-firm - but the disappointment for me is that (for the most part) (s)he seems to be treating it as an 8-hour day where (s)he simply skips work - which I would definitely find totally soul-destroying.
I saw in the follow-up comments that there are is some "passion project" that's being worked on, but apparently it wasn't 'relevant' enough to mention it in the original post, and came under the miscellaneous "computer games or do whatever"

- theturtletalks 5y agoI really do think it happened. Just look at the explosion of no-code tools that handle this sort of tedious work for small businesses. The caveat is that once the owner figures out they can automate this person's work, that person will be out of a job.
- wobblybubble 5y agoWhy does there need to be passion project? He could study philosophy or do whatever that one can do in an office by oneself.
- lemmiwinks 5y agoWhy woudn't studying philosophy not a passion project?
- wobblybubble 5y agoIt could be. But this is Hacker News so it often means something hacker-related.
- dymk 5y agoRandom philosophy stuff is like the #2 most common type of article submitted here
- wobblybubble 5y agoIs it the #2 most common passion project here though.
