It pisses me off how the good folks are leaving. We didn't have enough good folks in this industry in the first place. It's gonna be too late *when* the bubble bursts too.

We also are getting no juniors who have fundamentals. They're being taught to just shovel prompts into AI services. Blossoming new talent isn't happening and it's all horrid.

uh yeah this is so good, felt every word I can still remember when proudly sharing a photo of yourself next to a child-killing war criminal would have been career suicide how far we've fallen

yeh i feel kinda insulated because we ain't subjecting ourselves to being kicked in the head by a horse here, but it breaks me watching peers being torn to bits by AI mandates and the dogshit outputs it'll end eventually, but how many good people are gonna leave before then? Too many

I definitely have been trying to do as much as I can outside of work to find ways to enjoy tech or crafting or fellow humans to combat my feels around it. Some days work better than others.
