I’ve now applied for complete 3 dozen jobs and I’ve heard rear from 24 of them alongside a rejection. This tech market at the instant is so extremely cooked and for that logic I’m strolling distant from tech.
I’ve been a developer for 20 years throughout additional than fair the Ruby and JavaScript that I’m known for. I’ve written books concerning programming, I’ve stated talks and I’ve ran events. I keep two of the most downloaded Ruby packages. And yes, I delivered the fuck out of value for shareholders. I additionally grew a squad from 2 group to 12 group at my final job.
I cannot continue to put myself through this procedure of rejection. It is causing me a awesome agreement of mental damage and anguish.
The industry at the instant wants group who cognize how to use AI to additional the endeavor goals but here’s the item nobody wants to admit: not one individual knows how to use AI to really do that. I use it to compose a lot of my code and afterward I critically assessment that code before it reaches production.
My existence is based current in Warrnambool and I choose to activity remotely from here. Hybrid is infeasible equal if it were in Melbourne since Melbourne is 3.5hrs distant on the train. I cognize I can activity remotely efficiently since I did it for the final 6 years. And I helped others modify to that as well!
So it’s apparent that there’s no area for me in tech anymore, so I’m going to conversation to several group to fig out what’s next.
