I’m already watching some of my colleagues’ brains turn to mush by just blindly doing whatever the slop machine says. I don’t want to lose my skills in the same way. Years from now, I’ll be ready to retire while the technical debt piles up to critical levels, and demand for skilled and experienced critical thinkers skyrockets; then I’ll have to make the hard decision of leaving the rat race to pursue my own interests, or going back in for one last job for a massive payout.
Or I’m completely wrong and I’ll just be deemed a grumpy old relic by then, and I’ll take my severance and it still won’t be my problem any more.

Severance, you say? AI told HR that you’re not a team player. Non participation = no rewards.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant that I was going to sever one of the HR director’s limbs and take it.
