A few weeks ago I mentioned a project I'm working on to streamline the benefits auditing reports. This process involves verifying premium payments for health insurance with what is taken out of employees' paychecks. As I mentioned in the previous post (via the Twitter photo, no doubt), the application I'm working on will save 2-3 weeks' worth of work and many trees' lives.
I just met with the HR department to discuss the status, and the HR Specialist who does this work mentioned that the current process wastes a lot of time. But needed by the business, I said.
"It's a necessary evil," the HR Manager replied.
"Well, hopefully we can make it for something good," I said.
Programming for Good to Reduce Necessary Evil. That's what I'm about.

Daniel,
Reducing necessary evil is a good start. As Hippocrates is credited with saying ""Declare the past, diagnose the present, foretell the future; practice these acts. As to diseases, make a habit of two things — to help, or at least to do no harm."
