I’m kind of sick of being a dev. I hate AI with a passion.

I hate the hallucinations, I hate slop, I hate megacrops, I hate the environmental impacts, I hate the massive costs. I could go on but you get the picture.

At work I often times have to review vibe code slop from people who clock in 9 to 5 and don’t give a fuck (I respect that, I just wish your fucking code wasn’t slop)

I’m sick of it, I’m sick of hearing about AI tooling or new models or bro agentic actions bro based on your documentation bro.

I want to switch careers, so which career is not ruined by AI?

    Thanks for adding more perspective. Sure, if you take for instance “sales”, that is a huge category, from people who do telephone sales, to car sales, to software sales, realtors, consulting sales, complex equipment sales… the more complex the product or service on sale is, the less likely it is that the sales person will be replaced by AI, and the more likely it will be that this person will use AI as an assistant. The OP will need to identify that sweet spot, and a good education will be crucial.
