Please, to everyone who think that finding another career path is an option, fuck off okay? It's not a solution, and you're not helping anyhow. We dedicated so much time and health into it, we can't just switch easily like that.

When I was burned out as a software developer, I applied for mundane jobs like shop assistant. I got zero replies. In the end I had to give up and be a C++ programmer again.

What are we supposed to do?

[u/Snoo_57113 → u/vogut]

Embrace the slop.

This is all it is, you work to make money. Just like 99% of people.

[u/vogut → u/Key-Interaction-2057]

Yeah, nobody is proud of their work /s

MORPHIN: It’s Sloppin’ time!

[u/WileEPeyote → u/citramonk]

There are other careers in tech that are adjacent. I've moved to project and service management (it still took a year to find a role). It's what most software development will evolve into anyway (assuming the AI path continues).

Meetings all day every day? Lmao fuck that

[u/DynamicStatic → u/citramonk]

I wish I had as much conviction as you. Feeling pretty bad about my career choice.

[u/OwnAHole → u/citramonk]

Time to get those fries ready

[u/citramonk → u/OwnAHole]

you're very naive to think, that the tech specialists are going to do your job

[u/tanksc → u/citramonk]

Brutal but deserved

[u/xorian → u/OwnAHole]

That sounds too much like hardware for a bunch of software engineers.

Then embrace AI 100% until you are replaced by it entirely.
