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
@technomancy Switching to Windows would be a bigger deal breaker for me than any AI adoption, maybe because I see Generative AI as a fad mostly, but Microsoft is like a persistent evil that existed since before I was born.
The job market is crap right now if you don't have any Big Tech company on your resume while 10s of thousands of them are laid off and competing with you for the same jobs (talking about the 16k Amazon layoffs). Senior positions are even harder to get hired for.
@njoseph guess I should clarify, when I say "use" windows what I actually mean is "use windows as a qemu host and do all my real work on Debian" else I probably would have not been able to handle it for this long, yeah
still sucks tho
