Even for seniors, pretty sure jobs aren’t at all what they used to be. I think more and more of us are losing the little job satisfaction we had. Working on other people’s tasks with AI agents is nothing short of being a paper pusher.

Don’t get me wrong, as a technologist, I feel AI is the most incredible thing in the field of computer science. I love having a team of my agents for stuff I care about. For stuff I care about.

So perhaps now more than ever, it’s important to land a job you actually care about. In a field or domain you want to serve. To actually make a difference somewhere and find meaning.

Not my experience at all. I love not having to do the low-level code writing. I’ve been doing that for 30+ years, so I’m more than happy to let the AI handle that part now!


Anecdotally, the volume of recruiter spam for senior-ish positions I've been getting through email has picked up. Still nowhere near pre-COVID levels.

Hey, show a little respect for the paper pushers. Without them, civilization would collapse. And that’s not even a joke. :)

100% agree, for things I don't really care about its just draining. Its a bit of having the cake and eating it at the same time
