The one thing that has kept me viable as an employee over my 15 years in tech is that I literally don't want to do the same thing I did yesterday 1000 times. I want to do it as few times as possible before I automate the problem away, so I can move on to something new. There will always be something new. There will always be someone with a dream and no skills; for me to step in and help out.
I fail to see the problem.
