I'm being told to use AI more and more too and I've managed to get by without selling my soul to it but idk how long I'll be until I get let go just because I'm not dumping hundreds of thousands of slop code daily. I've been hearing more and more coworkers talk about how they haven't written any code in weeks and are now just checking up on their agents occasionally and it's filling me with actual existential dread and depression. I'm positive it'll all come crashing down but if it's not soon then maybe I'll drop the career I've wanted nearly my whole life and take up farming or something because watching vibe coding infect the whole software field makes me want to shoot myself
I genuinely think I'd have preferred no-code shit to have taken over instead of this because at least that takes some actual thought and effort to use
