Same. I'm being forced into a position where I'm supposed to do everything with AI agents, not write any manual code, and only act as a reviewer. It sounds like you know the drill. It may push me into early retirement.


The last straw (of many last straws) was over the weekend a co-worker sent me a chat "hey can you click approve on this PR real quick?". This only makes me click "Apply" (jobs) instead of "Approve".


I've been clicking apply myself, but only have had a few interviews. It's bad out there. I've been working since the late 90's and this is the worst job market I've seen in decades.


It's as bad if not worse than the dot com bubble burst - and the current AI bubble hasn't even burst yet.
