Part 2/11:
The speaker begins with a fundamental principle from their days as an IT infrastructure automation engineer: automate yourself out of a job. The idea might sound paradoxical, but ultimately, it’s about creating systems that handle repetitive tasks, freeing up time to focus on higher-value work or exploring new ideas.
They emphasize that small daily efficiencies—saving 5, 10, or 20 minutes—compound over time. These “minutes saved” accumulate into hours, which can then be reallocated toward learning, innovation, or further automation. This mindset drove their own growth and expertise in AI and system automation, culminating in the development of highly sophisticated projects.
