soooo... my employer has gone "all-in" on "AI" development and has a mandate that all work be done "AI-first"
needless to say, I am ... not buying this
I've been at this job for nine years and seen a lot of really stupid shit (including being forced to do all my work on a windows laptop ~6mo ago) but this is the thing has pushed me over the line; I've stayed at this job because I was able (within limits) to do my best work, and now I'm being told I need to do work that is worse than that
no
ended up getting a job offer earlier this week, so I gave my notice at my "you must use AI for everything" employer!
I didn't think I'd be able to hit all 4 of my goals of "doesn't require AI", "not fintech/crypto/military/ads", "fully remote", and "uses Clojure" but somehow I did, feel pretty lucky about the job I found
will be starting at Metabase in 2 weeks
@technomancy 😯 congrats! And…I think I’ll be sending in an application there myself, those are my ideal criteria as well!
