Firing the CEO
You think you can do a better job as the CEO than the CEO you have now? Or you know someone that you think can do a better job?
No, he thinks he could write a script to fire his CEO, so they don't have to do it every day.

Looks like it - have you got any?

#14I work in pharma, and our biggest bottleneck is drafting and executing service agreements and statements of work with new vendors. A system to facilitate this workflow would be amazing (document templates, a queue for requests with weekly status updates, etc.) Of course there is manual work done by Legal that can't be easily automated, but that is just one component of the bottleneck.
hentrap - msg or email me. I've been itching to create a new project that also solves a huge/real pain. I'd really like to hear your workflow steps in detail. Here's a temp email I setup if you want to reach out: hn@robodale.33mail.com (removed public mailinator email per mbrookes advice)

#16I'd love to take the time to change the way our IT department functions. They don't automate anything. They don't virtualize. They don't believe in rack mounted servers. We have 30 tower servers sitting on a specially built shelf, taking up most of a room. It's absurd but I have so much other shit to do that I can't justify completely disrupting their entire workflow
Oh man I feel this

At my work we just have a Jenkins job that fires the current CEO first thing in the morning

#18I'd get rid of the manual process of driving to the office every day and replace it with collaboration tools to let people telecommute full time. We actually use such tools, but have a "no remote workers" policy. Occasional work from home is fine, just not full time.
