Agreed.
"I’ve spent my career in tech, almost a decade at this point, running about a step-and-a-half ahead of the automation reaper."
I mean, yes, that is the entire job description. If you are in IT, your responsibility is to learn the best technologies, and be continually re-evaluating what to keep of your organization's current and what to improve or replace.
That is why I wouldn't want to do anything else. I love learning new things and no profession offers more opportunities to learn new things than computer technology.
