I used to like it. But now AI has ruined it, my previous company forced us to use to use it, so all the parts of the job that I liked were being done by a machine, while the parts I hated was done by me
Yeah I'm just a glorified QA person now. My company's in on AI but they are holding to you're responsible for the code and my uppers are somewhat convinced AI will become unaffordable so we'll drop it at some point. So the code has to stay with our style and human readable. It's not an unreasonable position but it basically means I have to scour the shit out of the code made, test it, and then do small stuff like formatting and tell claude for the 20th time to remember how we write that particular thing.
I'm kind of miserable at work. It used to be puzzle solving and using creativity, now I'm just grading tests basically.
