       It feels like it's becoming harder and harder to escape AI in programming, and it sucks. It's making being a programmer so miserable, it feels like everyone around you is relying on it, so even if you don't use it yourself, you're spending all your time reviewing slop, and having to fight with coworkers who don't understand their own work.I'm really not sure what the hell to do about it at this point? I just want to work with people who enjoy writing their own code as much as I do.

       I'm still one of the luckier ones. I have my own projects and they fulfil me. I do contract work just to pay the bills, and I just only give the bare minimum to them now.But my partner is a career developer. She loves training teams, curating codebases, and driving architectural improvements. And she's now surrounded by slop engineers who just aren't interested. And I just don't know what she can do to find work that shares those values?
