The number of stories of contractor companies hiding innovation and automation to maintain a higher number of butts in seats is astounding. Never saw it at NASA but otherwise I know someone who automated his job away and that of over a 10 m

Just an anecdote but I was shocked when I went home over the holiday and nearly everyone told me they use duckduckgo now. These are not tech people either, I am from a small rural town in upstate NY. I couldn't believe it and although
