Where do I look for an AI-free software dev job? Are there boards specifically for these jobs?

I'm required to use AI in my current job. I was trying to wait until some things in my life made a job change less risky, but working against my values is destroying me.

@bathtub_jen@shakedown.social I would also like to know

@bathtub_jen Not helping you, but know you are not alone https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/secular-humanist-gets-religious-exemption-from-using-ai-argues-that-offloading-his-thinking-to-llms-violates-his-beliefs-american-humanist-association-says-its-the-first-case-of-its-kind

@bathtub_jen I honestly gave up, having to explain that I didn’t need these tools to work quickly and having HR reps tell me otherwise unwound my brain

[somarasu@masto.hackers.town]

@bathtub_jen I'm ngl, i dont think there is one (at least not one i know of that's on the popularity of like an Indeed).

AngelList is the one that's kinda heartbreaking to me. They used to be a good job board, now it's just a slop factory

[somarasu@masto.hackers.town]

@bathtub_jen i was flirting with the idea of builing one myself but kinda lack the confidence a bit

[boris@mastodon.boris.syncloud.it]

@bathtub_jen like a niche custom hand made software company? Unfortunately hand typing source code as a job will probably disappear soon, but there are other jobs in the software industry I hope.

@bathtub_jen The only place I know of are these guys: https://www.hermit-tech.com/about

But Nik made an appearance at a podcast talking about his essays on being anti-AI, and basically said that going solo as an IT consultant and developer was blindingly easy, at least in his case, and he was pulling in a lot more now than he ever did as an employee.

@bathtub_jen I need this tooooooo

[davidculley@hachyderm.io]

@Somarasu AngelList is run by Naval Ravikant, a fascist.

[pettter@social.accum.se]

@bathtub_jen Huh, turns out he's on Mastodon, even: @ludicity

[gemelen@mammut.moe]

@bathtub_jen
If you'd find at least one such board, please publish it.

[boris@mastodon.boris.syncloud.it]

@lykso @bathtub_jen much better than we-all-gonna-die scenario

@bathtub_jen

Bear with it as long as possible. I have been looking since Jan 2026 and it just seems to be getting worse. Although I suspect my age is working against me too.

[garonenur@rollenspiel.social]

@bathtub_jen if you get a satisfying answer, please share.
I would love to stay in this, but I am already considering not doing software dev for much longer.

[macronaut@mas.to]

@bathtub_jen same! I would also like to know. If make any headway I’ll share the info.

I just read about a Humanist who successfully argued in Kentucky that using AI went against his religion. He no longer has to use it for his job.
