Kobold. Wizard. Yip yip yip *BOOOM*.
Recovering back-end developer, looking to break into web development.
It’s going to be interesting to see what happens when they’ve forced out everyone who actually gives a shit.
I guess making it unviable for anyone with a sense of ethics is one way to “keep the politics out of tech”.
In any case, stand by for the enshittification to truly pick up the pace.
Crossed the rubicon and started applying for jobs outside of tech today. Going to take a massive pay cut but still less expensive than a new liver.
Sat down and admitted to myself that there’s nothing keeping me here and I’d rather be spending my time swanning up and down the country, living in a van and doing physical work or whatever.
Wish me luck.

If that doesn’t just sum it up
I crossed the rubicon and started applying for jobs outside of tech today. There’s another senior dev they’ve lost because I just can’t stand the bullshit and mental gymnastics required to get around the ethical issues any more.
Wish me luck.
Hell, things are so bad that I reckon finding an appropriately socially maladjusted teenager in a basement an flinging a couple of grand at them would be enough to make a sizeable point - you could do most of this with models small enough to run locally on a MacBook. That’s the whole point, it needs to be enough to confuse a frontier model but blatantly obvious to any human.
Used to be we had a natural cess pool who would naturally go after things this stupid just for the “lulz”. Where’s 4chan when you need them?
I wonder how much it would cost to post a ~Chinese troll farm~ *cough*, sorry, image management agency to run a honey-pot campaign on GitHub.
I bet it would be a trivial amount of money compared to the benefit of introducing predators into an ecosystem which has been ravaged by an intrusive species.
