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?

Maintence/upkeep on servers in general, pretty fucking obvious what they meant.

    This person is likely in facilities, I doubt they are touching servers much after they're racked. Maybe a crash cart is shit really hits the fan and ops can't get in remotely.

    They went from directly being responsible for AI to having nothing to do with it. My question is not unreasonable.

    People like me are required to keep this AI empire going. There doesn't seem to be a huge pool of people who are both computer people and good at physical labour/using tools.

    I just meant that AI isn't going to make me unemployed

    I do a lot of system administration too. It depends on the system and who owns it. I do a pretty wide variety of work which is why I love it

    We had facilities monkeys like you describe but after a reorg they gave those responsibilities to whichever sysadmins showed the most interest, which is how I got the job. I'd rather play with toys than stare at a screen all day so the jump was a no brainer to me
