disillussioned··on Ask HN: Anyone else tired of working in tech?
One thing I find distressing is how useless most of the knowledge I've accumulated is! I use to try to refresh my knowledge of things learned long ago, once or twice a year, but that's pointless now: everything is a prompt away.

All that, plus the skeleton crew due to my company's offshoring is making me jaded.

It's a depressing state of affairs. I used to enthusiastic, but for the past few years I've been soldiering through boredom. Just a job right? Work isn't supposed to fun, right? Ya that mindset is not working for me anymore. I regret wasting my time with jobs that were just glorified crud work. My life outside of work is great, but work is now the drag on my life.

My plan is to go back to working in logistics, still have friends there, it's a rough time in that field right now: but I can't imagine myself enjoying the next few years reviewing slop, babysitting Claude, and surviving the next layoff.
