Which career path is not ruined by AI? (lemmy.zip)

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 love being a dev. I love being able to build things faster. I love solving an issue. I love working on a great product I believe in. I love working for a company that puts the well-being of its employees above its profits.

Nothing you've written is about the impact of "AI" (whatever this means) and it has everything to do with how you decide to work.

And who you go to work for.. most of us aren't so lucky

Yes, I am insanely lucky. But this took fucking effort.
