Hello dear fediverse,

I would like to make a career change and am in need of your support.

I'm working as a Senior Software Engineer at the adesso SE.
My focus is on frontend ux development with the web platform, web standards and #a11y.

I'm based around Hamburg and am open to work full-time remote / hybrid

#GetFediHired

Unfortunately, adesso does not work out well for me anymore, due to their recent focus to becoming an #AI agency.

Everything agentic is being pushed on me with full force, in an ideologic way, forcing me to shift from a coder to full time AI orchestrator.

My supervisor refers to this blog post, saying Level 5 is the goal: https://www.danshapiro.com/blog/2026/01/the-five-levels-from-spicy-autocomplete-to-the-software-factory/

That level 5 described in the article reads like an anti-utopia to me.

„They’re small teams, less than five people. And what they’re doing is nearly unbelievable – and it will likely be our future.“

I Base that on absolutely nothing - South Park

@lea a place where humans are neither needed nor welcome. Cool cool.

@lea OH HOLY SHIT.

And I’m sorry. This is all sorts of aweful. :-(

@lea That is unfortunate but understandable. I hope you find a great new challenge!
@lea Similar boat over here ... 🫤 Best of luck! 🍀
@lea This Software factory thing seems to be the dream of a lot of people. I don't want it.
@lea
Ich drücke dir die Daumen und booste natürlich ...

@lea I suggest you edit this post to include your rough location and whether you’re looking for in-office or remote work (or both).

Best of luck!

@lea how big of a career change? Like "different company" or like "different occupation altogether"?

@claudius

"It depends."
I am an experienced web frontend developer with a focus on web standards and and accessibility.
I would love to work in this field. However, that doesn't describe my current job. My projects at adesso rarely touch working with the web platform. Apparently, something like knowing CSS is the most unimportant skill to have at adesso.

@lea Boosted, and the link you posted is REALLY some very scary dystopic shit.
@lea I just stumbled accross this post. Not sure if it fits because it's US based but maybe remote is an option. https://basilisk.gallery/@syn/116811104560533103

BIG QUEER NERDS: We need a frontend developer quick sharp after our previous hire fell through (not her fault, entirely Meta's fault). Have a glance over the spec at https://github.com/tecapps/documentation/blob/main/recruitment/FRONTEND-SPEC.md. Feel free to meander around that repo for other docs to get an idea of things if you like.
