This is basically my case against RTO... I am a talker. I wont stop talking. I actually waste people's time talking philosophy.

I agree with this kind of... I did automate $4.5M/yr in labor, but I probably only worked 10 hours a week and billed for 40.

For 5 years everyone was happy, but I kind of knew what I was doing was wrong.

Not that I think I could have automated $16M/yr, but I def knew I was billing for doing dishes.

ok.

Anyway it made a super cool picture for me. It made me smile.

Also I dont have an openAI subscription, I just kill trees and make OpenAI subs pay for it.

Fam, what should we actually do about this?

If you want to be real for a minute, we all lived through the freedom of Covid WFH. We all did dishes and billed for it. We all told ourselves 'I needed a break, it helps me think about the problem'. (And that was true, one day I was stuck on an 8 queens problem and I ran a half marathon, when I finished I had the solution)

But... common everyone... we are humans. We take the path of least resistance.

Does anyone waste money or time on things that dont matter intentionally? If I'm making 200k a year with 0 output, I'll probably work on something else in the meantime.

If I'm in office, I don't think I need surveillance, I'm on the clock and its my manager's job to supervise. WFH? I get it.

This idea is as old as the panopticon, and Michel Foucault talks about this as well.

As I get older and run my own company, I find my juniors and seniors need to be supervised. My mid-levels are fine. Juniors dont know when to ask for help. Seniors are complacent. Mid-levels seem to have something to prove.

Can labor make a deal with management? I'll give you WFH for surveillance software.
