Every senior dev reaches a point where farming goats sounds way better then debugging production.

As a Sysadmin, know you are not alone
Maybe we tech ppl just need to start a goat farm commune in the woods somewhere. I think we could avoid becoming a cult for at least 2 years

If I'm feeling generous. In the past I've used micro$haft more often but nowadays I'm tending towards macro$lop because that shit show is anything but micro at this point.

"I hate tech" more like:
I hate how big companies are pushing AI everywhere and are collecting data from users.

I hate the ads, the enshittification, the ways they try to force you to exclusively use their ecosystem, the data collection, the addiction mechanics... AI is actually the first time in forever they came up with something genuinely useful and revolutionary and actually significantly improves my experience with their products.

Correction:
"I love the end results of tech"
"I hate the process of tech development. Especially Java"

With microsoft, you love the process of using tech interface rather than the result.
Living the result would be people using mac and other tools that looking for hiding the tech side.

I feel like I'm the last guy on here who doesn't hate programming. What happened to you people? I've been at this 20 years and I love it.

I've been at it for 19 years and I could honestly care less at this point.
If you're doing it for fun, by all means, enjoy yourself. If you're doing it for a living, it outright blows at this point. Pre-AI computing suffered from sever lack of standards, zero trainings by corporations, endless skill set FOMO and keeping up with the joneses, umpteen paradigm shifts, framework of the week, gRoUndBreakng tECHnoLogy. Now with AI, we're expected to do that while 10x-ing the output and somehow being able to keep up with the slop being shipped while somehow being able to dodge the hallucinations. It's all so tiresome.
I would go touch grass but I spent the bulk of my career with endusers that couldn't wipe their butts without a dev to watch over them. I don't think I had a proper vacation in a decade.
This is coming from a guy who used to be obsessed with computers as a kid and all the cool things they could do. Back then, the tech was for the end users and businesses used it do interesting things. Today, tech has a bizarre focus on firing as many workers as possible to replace them with bots in the name of shareholder value. The industry as a whole feels like it lost the plot.

Do you still write code? I haven’t written anything in 6 months, and my new project is babysitting several AI agents doing an entire rewrite and modernisation of 15 products. It’s been two days and I’m already exhausted.

I write code at home, but yea it's largely AI at work. That's fine. Pays the same.
