Yep, it's the usual question

We're very close, and we're also getting to that age where everyone's trying to settle in

I think she would be extremely sad if she stayed with me and if we didn't have kids

But she also says that our relationship is the best she's ever had and she only wants me

I hate work culture and I don't want to work until I'm 80 because I have kids, it's the biggest issue for me. I want to live as frugally as possible. In addition to that I have hobbies and I want my time spent on my hobbies and interests

I don't know what I'm looking for by posting this, feel free to reply with anything relevant

Do you think you are being overworked compared to the industry standard (from experience or vibes) ?

What are your responsibilities ?

Do you do application deployments ?

What does the ownership look like in your compan. Do devs own everything and perform all tasks for the application to function? ( server management, server user profile management, application hosting, etc )

Do you work off hours ?

Do you make the industry standard or are you paid less ?

Have you quit any jobs where you knew it was all over ?

Where you were aware you were in a sinking ship ?

I recently just quit and one of my biggest fears prior to quitting is that coworkers (who I knew were looking for other jobs) were going to leave me in the dust trying to fix issues at a scale way beyond our collective pay and skill set.

In this scenario I would have 0 chance of making meaningful changes and handle basic tasks like site reliability or feature releases, just fixing issues with integrators could take 2 devs alone full time.

I'm curious what other people's experiences are when quitting similar jobs, I had another job way long sgo where the project was already almost dead by the time I joined. I made massive changes along with new collegeaues but the technical debt was insurmountable. I left because I found a much better job to the point my manager tried to counter offer me but just couldn't make it work (I wouldn't have stayed even if the offer is better)

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?

I realized I always make a source folder under home and then subfolders named after programming languages to organize projects but then I realized I somehow had my own convention for how to store my source code and I have no idea where I got it from

Then I thought. what about other Linux users ?

What sorts of conventions do you have that pertains to folder structure in Linux ?
