This has me pretty fucked up, thb. I’ve barely slept with all the horror in Gaza and attacks on Iran this last week. Not a fan of doomerism, but I’m not selling my labor and pretending nothing is wrong if we’re on the brink of total collapse, that just feels way too stupid right now.
Don’t tell me. I’m working on digital marketing software. The world is falling apart and business is concerned about making brands marketing campaigns reaching a bigger audience and having a bigger ROI. I’m sick of this shit.
I used to love software development. But now I’m just sick with the whole industry.
Feel that. I burned out on writing bullshit software a long time ago. Now I make niche open source tools for Linux / *BSD with no commercial value; it’s the only way I can enjoy doing it. Watching my biggest field of interest become flooded with technofascists, scammers, frauds, etc. has really soured it. I hate all the types of people you find in the industry, but now they all get to be replaced with vibe coders and gen-ai prompt inputters. “Creative” jobs are probably the most depressing things you can do.
Honestly, I am willing to turn into vibe coding. What is the point of investing a lot of effort for improving code, learning and studying a lot of stuff, but then the higher ups just want a shit ton of additional features as fast as possible? Best to dedicate actual effort into things that really matter.
