I switched from IT to manual labor. Working there for 3 month now. If I wouldn't have kept my fitness regiment while working in IT, I'd have no chance to stand my current job. Walking kilometers through 2 big halls overseeing and operating up to 5 machines using multiple of chemical agents in parallel and sometimes having to do manual labor that amounts to some solid workout sessions.
I still got my private Rust/Vue project and selfhosting stuff which won't see any slop till it's done. I do envy people working an office job a bit though. Even if they are bombarded with slop PRs. They don't know how good they have it if they haven't worked a job demanding full body commitment and getting up VERY early.
The work I do won't see any AI in the foreseeable future and they won't get a replacement for me without lots of investments as my predecessor estimated I'd need a year to learn all the stuff my job demands. I learned it in 2½ months. So a safe bank and good payment. But I yearn for a comfy office chair staring on code the whole day already.
