I'm in the same boat as you... 30 years of experience writing software, and now I'm just supposed to click "approve" on PRs without reading the PR. I'm just supposed to press a button. I'm looking for a new job, but it's going to be difficult to find one in tech that isn't a complete AI-psychosis shitshow.
- icedchai 2mo agoSame. I'm being forced into a position where I'm supposed to do everything with AI agents, not write any manual code, and only act as a reviewer. It sounds like you know the drill. It may push me into early retirement.
- leptons 2mo agoThe last straw (of many last straws) was over the weekend a co-worker sent me a chat "hey can you click approve on this PR real quick?". This only makes me click "Apply" (jobs) instead of "Approve".
- icedchai 2mo agoI've been clicking apply myself, but only have had a few interviews. It's bad out there. I've been working since the late 90's and this is the worst job market I've seen in decades.
- leptons 2mo agoIt's as bad if not worse than the dot com bubble burst - and the current AI bubble hasn't even burst yet.
