Can confirm as someone who’s a programmer, I liked my job before AI, but it sucked all the fun from it :(
Eventually they will figure out how to automate pressing enter
Pressing enter makes you accountable. That’s the point.
Reverse-centaur shit. AI requires a human peripheral to work
“You must approve everything regardless of consequences”
“because of the consequences we’re firing you because you approved it”
“we have done nothing wrong”

I’m not sure if I believe any story on AI that is not experienced by me or someone I know and trust
Anything that is posted online is part psyop imo
I specifically do not trust X users
I have heard about this complaint already, so I’m not surprised, but i don’t disagree with your stance. It’s a game of distorting mirrors
Yep. You’re a meat proxy now.
The same thing is starting to happen at my company: the engineers ask AI to do their jobs, and simply forward requests from other engineers who also ask AI to do the job. It’s utterly absurd to watch.
Soul sucking indeed…
Must be nice to have a sould to suck.
Why the fuck you working 12 hour days?
Some people will do it for fear of losing their job.
As though it’s easy to just find other people willing to work twelve hour days.
If you’re filling that extremely hard to find role for them, you’re the problem. You’re hurting yourself, and you’re hurting the rest of us.
In a high skill job if you’re putting in a really solid 4-5 hours and spending the other 3-4 hours doing easy/coasting work, you’ve officially worked a full day and should stop both for yourself and the rest of humanity.
Don’t volunteer yourself to be a slave to your job. Many many places will pressure you into doing the work of 1.5-3 people in the name of efficiency, sometimes without even realizing that’s what they’re doing.
Don’t enable them.
If they don’t have enough people for the work, that’s their problem and not yours. You should report it as such.
Jamie Hyneman (Mythbusters): There’s your problem.
(lack of unions)
Yeah. Look at this guy getting 4 hours of OT every day.
What actually makes it soul sucking is if you still have a sense of duty or responsibility to deliver high quality code, because you will be knee deep in slop code without enough time to review it, or if you’re forced to review it. If you stop giving a shit, you can use that time to find another job or do research for your own project.
To be fair, that’s about every job. If I’m not either having fun or doing something useful I check out and hate my life.
I hate my life by default, at least working can sometimes be a productive distraction.
You okay man?
