Likewise, until I realised that just holding down space kept the auto typing going.

Always game the system!

Ha, reading that thread and this game reminds me of a temp job I once had.

It was at a sandpaper factory that made sandpaper belts.

My job was to pull a sheet from a roll until it hit a mark. Another guy pressed a button. Lift sheet onto pile. Pull sheet until it hits mark. Another guy pressed a button. Lift sheet onto pile. Pull sheet until it hits mark. Another guy pressed a button. Lift sheet onto pile. Pull sheet until it hits mark. Another guy pressed a button. Lift sheet onto pile. Pull sheet until it hits mark. Another guy pressed a button. Lift sheet onto pile.

For 8 hours straight.

I quit at lunch.

Indeed.

I worked at a factory that had me do the following:

Put bracket in machine. Press button to tap holes. Repeat.

I got the loop down to about 3.85 seconds which was 115% faster than the engineers said I could do.

I found I could listen to audiobooks at that job. It still didn't stop the existential dread. I worked there for 2 months before finding a better place.

What's amazing is that people do those kinds of jobs for years and years.

I was doing the same until I couldn't get the calendar widget to work. Opened up the dev console and noticed you can just call 'updateWorkUnits(x)' with x being any number. Instant promotion. You top out at CTO though.
