It is really what you want out of a hacker-stuck-in-corporate story.

There was a tale maybe 10+ years ago about someone who automated their job with a script or Excel sheet or macro and didn't tell anyone about it. Having a hard time tracking it down again, anyone remember what that was?




Google reveals two things, followed by a bunch of shitty blogspam:

- Last year, there was a post on Reddit, with an HN discussion as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29994776

- In 2017, there was a question about whether someone should tell their employer that they've automated their job: https://workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/93696/is-it-un...


I’ve found LLMs to be good for those sorts of vague “remember that thing like this?” searches. Bing (with GPT) or even Bard with potentially better search integration are both worth a try.
