    Some people are taking longer than others to realize that the job has changed. That's all that I see in these rants.

    It shouldn't be surprising that if you swim against the tide by doing things the old way, you are going to feel more burnt out because of it.

      Some people are too quick to drink whatever kool-aid they’re served. That’s all I see in these tired excuses.

      Better to swim against the tide than letting yourself get swept up in the current and drowning.

      It no longer surprises me, but the profound lack of empathy shown by AI (or any other popular hype du jour) proponents is worrying. A large numbers of fellow humans are saying “this thing is negatively impacting my life” and the response is “lol, and you should be thankful”.

        What part of "job has changed" is kool-aid, or an excuse?

        If you really think AI is something you can "defeat" by being stubborn then best of luck to you.

        Not sure how this relates to my comment even a little bit.
