Starting to think the real risk is not AI replacing junior staff, but senior staff quitting because they just can’t take this AI bullshit any longer and just opt for early retirement.

@jschauma I think about this daily.

@jschauma

Yeah I am in a similar boat. I don't know how much longer I can take it. I've thought if the bubble doesn't burst in the next year or so, I will be at my whits end and will just leave to farm alpaca or something.

@jschauma I had my own productivity consulting business for 15 years. I also did software training for a high level productivity software. I got out of the software training and finally closed my business last May because I am completely disinterested in dealing with the BS.

@jschauma @xgranade But the grifters got their money, the future be damned.

[sharding@mastodon.social]

@jschauma hi.

[m104@mastodon.social]

@jschauma There's an ugly world where experienced staff are considered "essential workers" and therefore not allowed to not work in order to keep the pipes from bursting

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@jschauma rising staff turnover at places pushing AI heavily is certainly making me raise an eyebrow

[grumpydad@infosec.exchange]

@jschauma Am senior. Can confirm

[ravelin@mindly.social]

@jschauma why not both!

[sandorspruit@mastodon.nl]

@jschauma I feel seen 🤨

[diabhoil@social.tchncs.de]

@jschauma too young for early retirement...to old for hyping and using this AI bs 🤮

[crell@phpc.social]

@jschauma Out of work Staff-level. Honestly debating pivoting out of software dev, both because the market is shit and because AI is shit.

Though the corporate overlords would probably want that. They want to have fewer of us anyway.

Realizing that what world really needs is sheep. Many many of them. Grazing to make perfect insulation for 10s of 1000s old huts and houses.

[sidawson@mas.to]

@jschauma Having to deal with/review/clean up the exponentially increased volume of slop churned out by less experienced/careful devs. THAT.

[nivrig@mastodon.social]

@jschauma @gsuberland 30+ years in tech. This is my wish.

[rrb@infosec.exchange]

@jschauma My plan soon.

[jpetazzo@hachyderm.io]

@gsuberland @jschauma oh do we finally have numbers on that?

[giflian@techhub.social]

@jschauma disenfranchising all workers is the overall purpose, I think

[crumbletiltskin@mastodon.social]

@jschauma this is exactly what i did.

[minus9@hachyderm.io]

@jschauma Yep, exactly what I did even though I can barely afford it. My manager said if they could afford it they'd have done the same.
