Just think though what you will be doing for that check you write yourself, going through mountains of incomprehensible AI code. Just make sure you add 20g to whatever salary you were thinking.
I spent a big chunk of my career going through mountains of incomprehensible human-generated code. I eventually learned that it was generally easier to just start over from scratch. At the same time I learned that nothing makes corporate bosses’ heads explode faster than telling them that their codebase sucks and needs to be rewritten from scratch. My solution to this fundamental dilemma was to become a school bus driver.
For me, developing applications was a joy … but only when I was left completely alone to do everything by myself. Such opportunities were just becoming rarer and rarer.

20g? like gold coins?
No like 20 extra grams of that guud
Gotta get my nut
With the ever rising prices of gold that might not be a bad idea

Maybe I should be glad I never got the dev jobs I wanted and was relegated to help desk.

You left off a zero
If I’m gonna have to un-fuck your AI slop codebase, you better fucking believe I’m going to charge you through the nose for it.
Applicants should be asking employers: how extensive has your firm’s use of AI generated coding tools been over the last few years?
