That's a crazy story yeah. Mine is crazy too!
Back in June I was working as a science writer for the Interesting Engineering website. By chance (I have no idea how I found the article), I stumbled upon a story in Reddit about a user named filetoffish1066 who had automated his own job, and had been doing nothing for 6 years at his job. He was being paid aroudn $100,000 to do nothing but play games on his computer while his bot did his work. I remember now that it was like the middle of the night when i discovered this story. I went searching on the internet to try and hunt down more facts about this guy. Guess what I found????? A steemit article that briefly mentioned this reddit user, filetoffish1066. Then the magic moment that changed my life: I SAW A DOLLAR AMOUNT AT THE END OF THE POST!!!!
I thought to myself, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?????"
Every thing is a total blur from that moment forward.
The article I wrote for Interesting Engineering about the filetoffish guy went viral and my boss forwarded me a bonus:
