I like engineering application development. I get an enjoyable amount of computer-touching and learn an absolute ton of weird science in the process. No web, no networking, no surveillance, no JavaScript, no whiteboarding hazing rituals in hiring, no AI. In a perfect world I would reduce the amount of Python and its infrastructure hell by an order of magnitude but sadly you can't have everything.

alternatively, bribe coding is when you pay me money and I fix the steaming pile of shite left by the vibe coder and deal with the fallout of their work in production

in reply to arti • • •@arti it would be quite a lot because I like writing code for data processing tasks and do it most days.
luckily I also don't write code for commercial production stuff so it's a moot point from an employment perspective.
