the past week and a half has been so liberating.

@BoredomFestival @AmyZenunim
Right there with you. I miss it not.@mtconleyuk @BoredomFestival I hate to sound rude, but I need to pay rent, so that's not an option

@AmyZenunim i've said it before and it bears repeating, it's like the entire industry has joined a cult.
@pikhq @AmyZenunim The industry was always a cult, it was just less malignant before.

working in tech right now feels like every single person you had any sort of professional relationship with undergoing the worst and most self-destructive manic episodes of their lives all simultaneously, and actively disparaging you for not submitting yourself to their madness
@AmyZenunim I can't really make any of this better except to say that you're not alone in this feeling

@AmyZenunim @baldur Gawd. I feel so lucky that I have some work community that is with me in resistance. I want that for you too

man, i used to love programming
@AmyZenunim I still love programming, but I hate working as a programmer in this fucked up industry. I have the privilege of being able to take a break from it until the bubble is done popping (my SO is also in tech and can cover both of us), but I have ex-coworkers that would do the same if the could. We are all hostages of an industry handled by people who know nothing about tech

@AmyZenunim I often picture this as being one of the characters in Walking Dead.

@AmyZenunim
I've been hunting for a job in the last weeks. As a non AI user, it feels like all recruiters see me as if I have been living under a rock for the last 10 years. -
man, i used to love programming
@AmyZenunim I hear you. I am so sorry.

@AmyZenunim oh, I've heard of that feeling in a historical context, that's a mass hysteria.

@AmyZenunim @mtconleyuk @BoredomFestival I’m also part of the group of people who fucked off because of this and it’s only because I had some really lucky breaks before. I feel so sad and angry for everyone who are still stuck with it.

the mood drop of coming into work today has shown me that i'm not depressed, i just fucking hate my job
@AmyZenunim I asked asked my son today if he wanted to go cycling this weekend. He replied while I was biking home, and I just glanced at the text and thought he said, “Why don’t we go tomorrow?” I was disappointed when I got home and looked again: he said Sunday.

@AmyZenunim @mtconleyuk no offense intended. I was fortunate to be in a position to make that decision.

@AmyZenunim It's literally that Roku shit.
