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?

I work in a warehouse, I come in at 7 and leave around 330. I put away freight, help the occasional customer, pick orders, ship out orders. AI can't do any of that in a small town. It still tries to get in where it can like customers wanting industrial automation products that have AI programming but that is way above my pay grade.

My previous job in a warehouse they were trying to do away with the manual routing of delivery routes by using an "AI" routing program but it was just an automated routing program they slapped the AI label on to charge more. It was just following rules not being actually intelligent.
