The Automation Paradox: Why Fear, Not Complexity, is the Biggest Threat to Business
Today, I want to talk about my obsession: Automation. It is the core reason I fell in love with Computer Science. It all started with a simple, profound realization: Programming makes life easier. You speak to a non-living creation, command it to perform a complex set of tasks, and it executes them perfectly. Commanding something to just do the work—it’s amazing.
This passion was initially driven by strategic laziness. I never liked doing repetitive mathematics, reading the same lessons twice, or any mundane task. My brain, that fascinating organ, required me to recall things, but my instinct was always to automate the boredom.

The Automation Paradox: Why Fear, Not Complexity, is the Biggest Threat to Business
Today, I want to talk about my obsession: Automation. It is the core reason I fell in love with Computer Science. It all started with a simple, profound realization: Programming makes life easier. You speak to a non-living creation, command it to perform a complex set of tasks, and it executes them perfectly. Commanding something to just do the work—it’s amazing.
This passion was initially driven by strategic laziness. I never liked doing repetitive mathematics, reading the same lessons twice, or any mundane task. My brain, that fascinating organ, required me to recall things, but my instinct was always to automate the boredom.
The Python Deep Dive
When I was around Grade 8, after some initial foundational work with Google CS First, I turned to the world of Python. That decision wasn’t accidental; it was based on seeking out the language that could truly do anything.
I started learning Python around age 12, and it quickly became my obsession. I was consumed by the possibilities—building GUIs, creating games, and developing applications that brought my ideas to life. That early mastery of Python is the fundamental technical skill that underpins every automation project I touch today.
The Gritty Reality of IT and the Paradox
After leaving school, I gained crucial, real-world knowledge working at a major web hosting company. This period was invaluable: I learned not just about web applications and networks, but also the gritty reality of production environments. I mastered debugging PHP, NodeJS, and MERN stacks, became proficient in Linux terminal environments (my love for Ubuntu is still strong!), and handled the operational reality of problem-solving.
But that job also showed me the paradox:
- Fear: Companies had countless tasks that could be automated, but they were afraid. They feared what they didn’t know and resisted change.
- Laziness: They were too lazy or inertial to invest the time to look into implementing automation.
This confirmed my belief: In two years, the businesses that do not get accustomed to AI automation will be destroyed. The arrival of robust AI won’t gently displace jobs—it will obliterate the efficiency gap between those who automate and those who don’t.
Building the Pantheon of Automation
I decided to stop fighting that paradox and enter the market to solve it. My knowledge of software development, combined with my childhood vision, drives my company, Tekkeys, and our first product, AutoPost (the social media AI generation tool).
My supreme goal remains unchanged: to create companies that are fully automated, where entrepreneurs become SOLOpreneurs supported by a suite of intelligent AI agents—the gods that are creating the gods.
This journey—from a curious kid consumed by Python to a founder building AI Agentic Systems—is built on a simple commitment: to keep learning, keep building, and keep pushing past the fear of automation. I know I will succeed, and I am willing to put in the effort, adapt, and learn from every failure to achieve my goal of a 5-figure income by next year.
Automation isn’t the future—it’s already here. And I’m not just preparing for it; I’m actively creating it.
