    People responding with basically hipster sector artisan things. Anything larger scale? Like factory-scale deautomation?https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1097621019160768513 …

    De-automation seems like it should be a thing. Reversing automation (cousin to insourcing/onshoring, but from Planet Automation not Asia). Example: pour-over coffee. Others?

        Silver service domestic help could be one growth sector - as more robots start doing more drudge work maybe the finer things in life could one way to reskill?

        Are Ikea flatpacks an example maybe? Obviously produced by automation but assembled by end user to save money.

        maybe biointensive agriculture? there was a big movement toward minifundismo in LatAm just pre-Green-Revolution (to improve crop yields). Also there are numerous cases where compiler-written code has been replaced with handwritten assembly to improve performance

        Buurtzorg perhaps (community care). Self-managed teams of nurses. This system has scaled to 850 teams of in total 10000 nurses in NL.
