I worked for a hosting company doing loads of boring provisioning stuff on servers and the core network, not really a fan of repetition so I started to slowly learn coding and replaced probably 80% of the jobs with scripts. So in total I coded away most of my daily work, although there was plenty more to be getting on with ;)

Always love stories like this. I never realized the truth of the expression "Go away or I will replace you with a very small shell script" until I started writing shell scripts! Stories like this can be inspirational, and they reinforce one of my favorite mottoes about computing: "Computers should work; people should think." Have the machines do the rote calculations, and free people to work on challenging creative tasks.
