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.

@AmyZenunim this sound suspiciously familiar. It's either terribly common or we share an employer 🥲

Anyway, moving to farming is exactly what I'm doing now, shoveling shit gives more satisfaction to me than forced bot interlocution.

@hkz @AmyZenunim My gigs have slowed to a crawl, so I decided to turn some of my land into agricultural, and I’m starting very small, less than an acre. Girl, I bought a rototiller. And I used it. For about four hours, and it’s taken two days to not feel like I was hit by a truck. I’ve ridden cattle, but never farmed...holy shit, farming is hard! (The goal is to grow produce for the only non religious food bank in the area, at the rate I’m going, I may be able to offer a tomato.)
