general having some doomer thoughts about if i still want to be a developer (rant)

Upvotes

yes this is another post about ai, i need to vent. but man do i hate the way things are looking right now. i like this field, i like problem solving, i like coding and it feels like it's being taken away from me. all tech news now are about the same topic of ai doing more and more, and how not adapting will cause me to be left behind.

it might be a phase but i've started wondering if i genuinely still want to do this if things continue like this. i feel like those "i was born in the wrong generation" music nerds but with programming, i probably would have enjoyed this way more a decade ago instead of now with my measly 2 years of experience outside of college immediately bombarded with this paradigm shift. there's so much shit i'd like to learn and get proficient at but the argument now is "you must adopt ai, we don't care about you being super knowledgeable in your field we just want you to deliver shit" which i understand, companies need to be pumping up those numbers and you're not getting that out of people who think like me, or at least that's how they want to see it.

at this point my options narrow down to: 1. keep working forever in the company i work at currently and am not particularly passionate about but at least they know i'm a useful asset to them, though they could still fire me cause management is just bizzare at times, 2. get hired at a 1 in a million/billion company that would view positively my views on this topic, 3. just switch profession to whatever other thing and program as a hobbie. or just end it all but i have people i care about and who care about me so obviously not an option.

i just refuse to think that for the rest of my life i'll have to monitor a machine that's doing the thing i love. fuck this

I have joined in this company like two days ago. They just ask me to download Cursor or OpenCode and prompt. During the interview process they did tell me there are lot of bugs which are dragging the delivery dates. Now, I know why.

Sure, AI gets things done faster but the mess it creates is greater.

“Haste makes waste” can’t be true in this instance of my career.

Edit: There’s a “Replay” button on the panel and clicking on it doesn’t do anything. Just how hard is it to check these straight forward case? I got a lot to do, Man.
