Post #4359871

Okay, I think maybe it's time to give #FediHired a try. I'm a senior software engineer with 14 years of experience, based in the United States. Mostly back-end development and data engineering, with enough front-end experience to be dangerous. I'm most comfortable with Python but I've used Java, C#, PHP, and Go on the job, and off the job I've dabbled with more esoteric choices like F# and Prolog. I'm looking for a job because my current employer has begun enforcing a return-to-office mandate, and has also declared that we're going "AI-first" and intends to start mandating the use of Copilot. I would prefer a fully remote job, and I will not use LLMs of any kind, for any reason. Not "would prefer not to." Will not. I realize that this principled stand makes me nigh-unemployable in the current employment landscape. I'd be willing to take a serious pay cut to work for someone that doesn't force us to use planet-burning plagiarism machines. I don't even necessarily want a job in the tech industry; honestly, I'd probably prefer it if it wasn't. Does such a job exist in 2026? #getfedihired
