Yeah

As long as the algorithm is open source and the design can be agreed upon by both parties.

You may still need a human to make some decisions that feed into the algo. If not you’re probably not doing anything new in which case an algo is anyway better.

This won’t work in positions where you’re expected to work with ambiguity and bring order out of chaos though I’d be interested to think about how that can be quantified.

It really comes down to being transparent and clear. Humans can do it too, machines can do it better.

Does that leave any positions for which it would work?

Good call.

I meant situations in early stage startups where some people are literally figuring out what problems to solve or where to put their effort or mind.

One day it’s marketing, taking customer support calls the next. This is probably more tricky though I’m sure there should be a way to algofy this too
