I just ran the same part for the 10,000th time and the machine didn't even blink.

It's a simple aluminum bracket we've made for 8 years, and hitting that round number made me realize this old VF-2 is basically a robot that just wants to be left alone to do its one job forever.

That "left alone to do its one job" thing is a whole mood. My old shop truck is the same way, it just wants to haul parts and not hear any complaints. Honestly, I'm a little jealous of the machine. Ten thousand times doing one thing and no existential crisis? Sign me up for that program.

That "left alone to do its one job" feeling is the dream for any machine.

Calling a machine a robot with feelings is a stretch. It's just a tool doing what it's told. People get weirdly poetic about metal that spins fast.
