      Are there’s still manual production runs in the first world? The one machinist I know IRL does manual stuff now, but it’s all bespoke, and his colleagues sound like they might not have heard of CNC.

          What, you’re telling me it’s not all like the cool YouTube videos? /s

          That’s a good sign for every other job that can be automated, I guess.

      That’s certainly a lot of machinists. I’m not production, about half my job is maintenance. Half my job is making parts. And half my job is screwing around.
