I’m kind of sick of being a dev. I hate AI with a passion.
I hate the hallucinations, I hate slop, I hate megacrops, I hate the environmental impacts, I hate the massive costs. I could go on but you get the picture.
At work I often times have to review vibe code slop from people who clock in 9 to 5 and don’t give a fuck (I respect that, I just wish your fucking code wasn’t slop)
I’m sick of it, I’m sick of hearing about AI tooling or new models or bro agentic actions bro based on your documentation bro.
I want to switch careers, so which career is not ruined by AI?


Become a mechanical engineer on the operations side of electricity generation(stationary engineering, power engineering, steam entineering, instrumentation/controls, programming, tuning, etcetera). Shits been working out pretty well for me over the last decade. You don’t need a degree depending on state/country and the pay is excellent(usually but can vary based on state). Try not to work in a coal or trash plant. I got my degree but that was before I knew I wouldnt have technically needed it. The fuels will change but there’s always gonna need to be people maintaining the grid. Tons of different avenues to work within generation and you know you’re doing something that matters.
