Making cakes are much more soul fulfilling than writing code for soulless machines, let the machines write the code for themselves.

One day we get rid of the machines, scrap their metals to make plows to tend the fields. Like the good old times.

Software development as a career was a utter mistake. Corporations are a mistake.

Maybe AI can fix that, automate bureaucracy, put those useless managers out of work. But I doubt, the class division is too strong, they'll remove the bottom of the pyramid, but not the top.

I want to destroy the pyramid ! But I know just to wait, it will destroy itself because it can't understand human values. All modern jobs are bullshit either way.

"I spent my whole life working and doing a job that I really loved, sacrificing my youth and my precious time with my friends and family, and I'm still left with nothing at all"

I still got burned out. Loving the career didn't change much.

Now the machines do what I loved to do. I had nothing, but at least I had pride and there was social recognition.

All vanities. Life lesson there.

I don't know what I was chasing, some sort of poetic output. I looked a famous people in this career, I just wanted to leave my name there.

But now I don't, I hate AI and I think its a bad path for humanity. I guess I can still leave my name elsewhere, maybe I start the Butlerian Jihad somehow.

I imagine myself being the one bureaucrat in the Jihad that banned the use of CPUs with more power than a 80486. That makes me happy and create a motive to still live.

I can't create anymore, but I can destroy !
