i'm pivoting to AI (Artificial Incompetence)

in case you need a taste of how fucked the tech industry is right now, I'm being required to use AI at work. if I talk about how it fucks up or overcomplicates basic asks, it's because I "don't know how to use it" which indicates a "lack of growth mindset", and thus poor performance. I've been told this directly to my face, starting immediately.

so not only must I use Claude, I have to cover for Claude's mistakes, and then go the extra mile to pass off my own work as Claude's.

anyway, I need to pay rent, so I guess I'm a slopper now.

at this point, I want to move to a farm and shovel pig shit for the rest of my life.

Same. I'm looking for something better, but it's a slog through endless other slop shops, competing with other good devs for the few organic dev jobs still out there.

Meanwhile I've gotta eat to live and gotta work to eat, so slop it is.
