if I had a lot more time I think I might write a book on my ideas about "adversarial automation".

The idea that the point of computers is to help the humans do their job faster and easier, and sometimes the computer or the software on it is the enemy in that battle.

@foone great thread. i think it's worth mentioning the connection to accessibility tools and APIs as well. often people are put into the same position as a screen scraper when faced with software whose "API 0" is particularly restrictive (e.g. requires acting like an abled user in a particular way, like having to interact with things via moving a mouse and clicking, rather than like a human in general who may want to or have to interact with the software via different modalities)

@foone and you see this connection a lot in practice -- accessibility hooks are quite useful for adversarial automation, and adversarial automation techniques can be used to build accessibility tools too
