I'm a developer who was made redundant, and I'm now casting around for an entirely new job because, likewise, I have no interest in working with AI. It sounds boring, and the concept squicks me out, to be honest.

Out of interest what kind of fields are you looking at?

I expect there are going to be a bunch of people in similar situations to you over the next few years, I'm interested to know where they end up.

  • I'm reminded of the "MongoDB is WebScale" video:

        as of this moment I
        officially resigned from my job as
        software engineer and will take up work
        on the farm shoveling pig shit and
        administering anal suppositories to sick
        horses because that will be a thousand
        times more tolerable than being in the
        same industry as dipshits like you

      How I feel about merging an AI-generated PR these days and waiting for the issues
