Did the employees feel an intense wave of irony wash over them when their job at Robots Everywhere was automated away? I'd be thinking, "Well ain't that a bitch."

Hey! I was always interested in building robots, but I always thought that (1) I just don't have the time to bootstrap, and (2) I'm only a software developer and don't know enough hardware. You're living my dreams! Congrats!

Did the employee contract include a waiver:

"The undersigned, for one, agrees to welcome our robot overlords."

Also, clear title at 33 should meet anyone's definition of successful. I just got a mortgage at 28 and that day is a long way off. Must feel good :)

Yeah, it did actually. The whole thing was written fairly tongue in cheek.
