I've been a software developer for the better part of 20 years and I'm so fed up with this whole situation. Time for a new career.

- Raising chickens
Chickens might shit everywhere, scream constantly, and flap their wings just to get attention, much like managers. But they can't make you polish that shit into a product to sell. And if one gets out of line you can just eat them.
I thought a lot about getting out of tech about eight years ago. I landed on becoming a history professor as the role that would be most fulfilling. I hated school and I would hate getting accredited, but I believe I'd be able to impart the joy of history to a handful of students. Too bad I hated school. I'm still in tech.
If I could swap to chickens, that'd be interesting. Buckawk.
And if one gets out of line you can just eat them
Same with managers. It's frowned upon, but don't let that stop you
One might argue that not eating them when they get out of line is what's causing all the problems
But they can't make you polish that shit into a product to sell
You're probably aware, but the product (eggs) comes from the same place as the shit. At least for chickens anyway, never seen the anatomy of a manager, but I hear they're invertebrates so it may be slightly different.
It's the opposite: your table scraps are their chickeny gold 🥹
Same. I'm hoping for the teacher shortage to increase, I might make the switch if the barriers come down. I'd love to teach children to code, I have fond memories of my IT teacher back in the day. His lessons on TurboPascal taught me a lot.
Ah, good old Turbo Pascal
"Why dont you just have AI do that?"
Come and work with public goods too. Retroactive and deep funding are a thing too
I'm not opposed to be honest. Know any projects looking for Go devs?
I am not aware of any at the moment, but Go devs are always in demand. I'll let you know in case I hear anything
Vibe coding L
Like I use a lot of ai but u gotta be specific and understand the architecture lol.
