You know the old saying "familiarity breeds contempt"? I believe the opposite is true as well. People who don't code think coding is typing. People who don't manage think it is as simple as forwarding emails from executives to subordinates.

I myself have often wondered if what doctors do couldn't be automated. You have the primary care physicians who seem to run on a loop of "listen to symptoms" - "order tests" - "prescribe medication" - "refer to specialist". And the specialists themselves seem to follow their own loops. Many surgeons for example, perform the exact same procedure day in/day out for decades. Surely well-trained robots, not prone to fatigue or loss of dexterity as they age, could produce superior outcomes.

But they haven't been replaced yet, just like I haven't, so I assume there is more going on there than what looks from the outside like repetitive manual labor.
