Everybody's Lost Their Minds
Some would rather vomit up a rambling blog post wall of text that nobody's going to read than go to therapy. Spending upwards of 75% of my time directly or indirectly dealing with AI every day has absolutely robbed me of most of my enjoyment of my work. Every participant in these project has thrown absolutely incredible amounts of engineering resources at the FOMO-induced, time-limited, "the first one's free" offer from Anthropic and OpenAI.

I've seen my share of stupid over the years, but now people with no engineering background have started pitching "industry changing" solutions they cooked up in their agent infested homelab; people's emails read like bozotic LinkedIn-fluencer posts with punchy "it's not this, it's that" single-sentence paragraphs; online articles suffer a similar fate in their own convergence on Meh; and half of the people you interact with have turned into meat proxies. Spending upwards of 75% of my time directly or indirectly dealing with AI every day has absolutely robbed me of most of my enjoyment of my work.
