I'm hoping the insanity calms down in the next year or so. I don't wanna have to give up weed to be able to start using my fallback option of my CDL but I'll be damned if I'm gonna take a job where I'm required to use LLM bullshit. not that I can even find that after 6 months of applying and not even a single recruiter followup, let alone any interviews.
Same.
I’m a grey beard. I really want five more years. I’m socking away every penny I can. But we’ll see.
