My first job out of college was as a junior engineering officer on a ship. I had taken naval architecture and the daily draft report was part of my job. The fuel king had a spreadsheet where the engineering watch input all the tank levels overnight. I added a sheet that took that data and solved all the tank problems, bouncy, incline, etc, and printed the report. So instead of two hours of number crunching, or one of my enlisted guys doing what he did (which was basically copy forward and subtract an inch a day), the report was completely automated, with fore, aft, and center draft. With zero human effort.
Apparently the guy who took my job when I left had a nervous breakdown. I feel a little bad about that, but not really. He should have paid attention in class.
