Programing is getting weird with all AI stuff and emerging of "volume over quality" trend and I start to dislike it, specifically the people that surround it. At the same time I know a boomer who could take me under his wing, teach me auto mechanics in all around, and give me a job at his garage.Should I take my chance and change my career path? I'm almost 25, btw.(Salaries for IT workers and auto mechanics are roughly the same in my country)
>>108819685problem is, I am really good at what I am doing
>>108819784Problem is, nobody in management has ever given the slightest shit. You are more likely to be replaced than OP because your comment shows you have 0 clue about how enterprises work, meaning you have never worked before, meaning you have no experience with navigating office politics (the only thing relevant to having a job in 2026).
>>108819869>the only thing relevant to having a job in 2026).Its hilarious how many implicitly accept most office works arnt outproducing their homeless counter parts on the streets below them.
>>108819685>emerging of "volume over quality" trendthis isn't a new thing, management has always been quantity-over-quality because it's easy to measure quantity but hard to measure quality.the only difference is that they now have the tools to produce slop on a never-before-seen scale.you would probably find the same thing at an auto mechanic shop, that the manager cares a lot about how many cars you service but cares much less about how well they were serviced.
>>108819869Nothing OP has said points to him understanding office politics or how enterprises work, either.
>>108820382No, but OP is warry while that guy is not. Given how office politics work, that is a better stance that lead to higher likelihood of survival.
>>108819784Stay as long as you can. There's always someone gunning for your job or someone gunning to replace you with A.I.
