The Parallel breaks format for a special episode with the man behind Mac automation at Apple, Sal Soghoian. For almost 20 years, Sal made sure automation was a part of the Mac, whether it meant advocating personally with Steve Jobs, or building tools like Automator that allow users to customize their machines, and make them do exactly what they want them to do. Sal continues to develop and advocate for automation on Apple platforms, including work on a new automation platform with The Omni Group. We talk about this an so much more on this episode.

And of course there’s One More Thing
