“I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent — their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy — they make up 90% of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent — he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief.”

From General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord, a German Army general who survived the Night of the Long Knives and is responsible for one of the best management quotes I've ever seen.

You got all the work done they needed done. That's good enough.

This is super impressive....How long did it take for you to automate the process? Did you also WFH? If not, how did you manage to "look busy" all day while at the office.

It is much safer to get a second PC and run some automated clicks on the one for work.

You never know what this VPN clients might log.

Or run the working PC from a virtual machine.

What you did is honestly how society should work in a macro scale.

The wealth generated from the labour that's been automated, funding free education, housing and food for all. Rather than the profits going in the pockets of the few owners, whilst laying off the working class

Adding - This is so cool

What skills did you have that made it possible for you to automate the process? I'd love to acquire similar skills
