If you want to hire someone with a guarantee that they will not be using any AI in their work, let me know, I'm still available (and semi-looking).
More information on the types of work I'm looking for on my profile page pinned post 
Mjurn@Em0nM4stodon Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. With other words, learn it, even if you don't like it. You will end up like everyone who refused computers in the 90s.

Promoted into management?
Learning skills later with greater longevity because they churn had reduced?
Being in high demand because they have rare skills that are hard to replace because the others with them mostly retired or died?
Being happy?
Sounds awful.
EDIT: With somewhat less snark: I have been through multiple major transitions in the industry. The web, mobile phones, various developer tools. frameworks, and practices becoming mainstream, and so on. I cannot think of a single case where being a late adopter has harmed individual career prospects. Being a very early adopter (when no one else knows what the thing is) has been a benefit for a handful of people. Being a very late adopter has been a problem for some companies. But waiting until a technology is mature and then learning to use it once has been the best strategy for individuals.
@david_chisnall @Em0nM4stodon it's a choice and as I said, just an advice. Yet, the process of hiring is not the same even this early. You will get filtered out of the tool you refuse to learn. There are open source alternatives as well so it's like refusing to use a screwdriver because you have used a hammer all your career.
Speaking as someone who is actively hiring at the moment, you are 100% wrong.
Companies that are actively pushing LLM use are not hiring, they are filling up with technical debt and losing their best people. It is a fantastic time as an employer because short-sighted fad chasing is causing the most talented people to appear on the job market.
The people who are chasing LLM tooling? Their useful skills are atrophying, their employers are making cuts, and they’re not even making the shortlists when they apply elsewhere.
