Years ago I thought, I like writing hobby software but I don’t think I would enjoy it as a career. And so, I do not work (at least directly) in software development.
If only I knew the armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding sabot I was dodging there.

@rhamph@awful.systems @EFreethought@awful.systems I’m glad I retired from professional software development just before LLMs came on the scene. Now I program the old-fashioned way as a hobby. However I recently was sent an ai-generated report of bugs and vulnerabilities in one of my projects and I have to admit that it is genuinely useful.

@rhamph@awful.systems @EFreethought@awful.systems I don't think I would enjoy much of anything done for work under capitalism. Practically everything has to compromise for profitability and exploitation. That is no way to live or build a society.
