I'm kind of sick of being a dev. I hate AI with a passion.

I hate the hallucinations, I hate slop, I hate megacrops, I hate the environmental impacts, I hate the massive costs. I could go on but you get the picture.

At work I often times have to review vibe code slop from people who clock in 9 to 5 and don't give a fuck (I respect that, I just wish your fucking code wasn't slop)

I'm sick of it, I'm sick of hearing about AI tooling or new models or bro agentic actions bro based on your documentation bro.

I want to switch careers, so which career is not ruined by AI?

Yeah I'm moving across the country soon so it won't be my problem but 3/4 of the people who work there are already looking for jobs because of other micromanaging shit that's started happening. We're the highest producing, lowest issue location and all of a sudden they're treating us like toddlers. Everyone is pissed.

    I'm a highly intelligent person. It's always been both infuriating and absolutely dumbfounded how management of a company can have all the information on how their company is run, how employee interviews, evaluations, and observations occur, how profit growth vs expenditures relate to each other, and still sit down in a board room together and not only brainstorm, but literally agree to an idea that makes their company fucking worse in every possible way, and piss off everyone who is why they're in this position.

    I will never understand it. Especially with my company who doesn't have shareholders or shit. We're a completely private and insular company. We're family owned. And yet they still make decisions that hurt them by pissing off the people that work for them.

    It's fascinating.

    Yeah that's the same setup as my company. I have a feeling, because I've been here before, that the owner of my company is looking to sell. This is exactly what we went through at my last company and then they announced that they sold out. Oddly enough 5 of us all worked at that place. I'm really really beyond sick of private equity.
