OK this really got me.

I'm going to be a baker! just putting it off as long as possible because I don't want to wake up at 2am.

[–] diablomnky@lemmy.world 17 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Every other baker gets up at 2am. Be the only 2pm baker out there for fresh evening breads!

Yes, I'm sick of morning people getting all the good stuff. I want to come home from work and sit in a cafe/bakery and eat nice things.

We need a night owls society.

> overhyped slop generator

To be fair having been in software for awhile, plenty of people were slinging slop before AI as well.

The difference is back then, we could block the PR, now management demands velocity at all costs.

It will catch up eventually.

IT guy here, not a programmer per se, but I have given up and am re-training into fraud detection. I want to take down some of the fuckers that ruined the industry before I die

[–] imvii@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 hours ago

I was in IT 20+ years.

I quit 4 years ago and opened an arcade. My only regret is I should have bailed out 10 years ago.

In before the AI shills show up, nice

I'm staying here, but my son who wanted to become a programmer has now decided to study for maritime officer. I don't know when AI will take over ships.

getting licensed as an electrician has been on my mind recently. i’m so tired of the whole industry

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago

I quit programming and became a school bus driver. I'm 100X happier even if I am making like 1/6 of what I used to make. What I'll do after I'm replaced with AI I don't know, but at least it will happen long after I would have been replaced as a programmer by AI. I'm more concerned about what the parents will do when their kids are run over by the fucking AI-driven school buses.

Computer, I need software please!

Why won't it work? I asked for software!

[–] MoffKalast@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

You asked wrong! You forgot "no mistakes"

[–] ksh@aussie.zone 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Did you try turning it off and on and then ask for software again?

[–] nodiratime@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Brb, restarting all data centers.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

Hey maybe we need to keep them off until the coin battery dies so the bios resets?

[–] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 hours ago

Engineering not. Computer science also not.

So what are you doing that is not those 2 that is dying?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Shouldn't the book illusion be of some pipes? Or the guide topic be butchery?

Search for O'Reilly books, the style is spot on with their covers.
