I can't tell if this guy is extremely lazy, a genius, or both. Either way it makes me feel like I'm in the wrong profession...
[quote]After the guy left for a new job, his former coworkers were looking through his work and discovered that the guy had automated all sorts of crazy things, including parts of his job, his relationships, and making coffee.
The guy wrote one script that sends a text message "late at work" to his wife and "automatically picks reasons" from a preset list of them, says Narkoz. It sent this text anytime there was activity with his login on the company's computer servers after 9 p.m.
He wrote another script relating to a customer he didn't like, given the not-nice name he chose for this script. It scans his inbox for an email from the customer that uses words like "help," "trouble," and "sorry" and automatically rolls the guy's database to the latest backup, then sends a reply: "No worries mate, be careful next time."
With another script, he automatically fired off an email excuse like "not feeling well, working from home" if he wasn't at work and logged in to the servers by 8:45 a.m. He called that script "hangover."
And the best one? He wrote a script that waits 17 seconds, then hacks into the coffee machine and orders it to start brewing a latte. The script tells the machine to wait another 24 seconds before pouring the latte into a cup, the exact time it takes to walk from the guy's desk to the coffee machine.
And his coworkers didn't even know the coffee machine was on the network and hackable.

Now that's a man who I want working for me. Transmitting his laziness into efficiency, which is basically the mother of innovation. Oh you don't want to wait a half hour to cook your pizza rolls? Microwave. Don't want to walk 5 feet to change the channel? Remote control. Don't feel like going outside in the cold to poop? Toilet. Don't feel like waking up extra early for work since your horse is slow? The automobile. No time to train a pigeon? Mail service. This man is in a league of visionaries.

Soo... Where are the churches to this guy? He at least deserves a statue.
-
He's a -blam!-ing genius. His efficiency is unparalleled. Not lazy because if he was he wouldn't be staying late and therefore wouldn't need his script to text his wife.

That guy is a boss.

If only I was that good at programming.
-
Oh my god. Amazing.

They would have never found out if he browsed on incognito mode

This guy is my inspiration now.
-
Genius. Definitely a genius.
-
I love this guy.

Well, you know that one phrase, choose a lazy man to do a hard job, because he'll find an easy way to do it. That guy's awesome.
