There's a weird phenomenon which I've noticed in many aspects of life. It has to do with task lists.

No matter how many items you remove from your task list, more always seems to pop up and multiply. It's like Smith from the Matrix: the tasks never stop coming. I'm sure this is a reflection of a few things: prioritization, list management, delegation, team management, yada yada yada, yeah okay. The point is, no matter what the cause is, the task still needs to happen no?

When developing a system, why is there always "room for improvement"? What is the perfect system, one where things never have to happen and when things go wrong they are automatically and instantaneously handled. Yes, I'm sure there is a system with AI that you can implement, sure, but the problem with that is a. it still needs refinement because you can't replicate it, and b. the whole point of AI the way it is today is to interface with people like a human, so humans are gonna human. You still have the task that needs to be added to the list.

The question, I suppose, is why are tasks needing to be added to the list at all?

Why do the problems exist? Because someone did something wrong or something went wrong through no fault of anyone. Human error or systematic error. Fine.
