I really need to suck it up, quit my software “engineer” job, and get a real job making significantly less money and with significantly worse benefits but with coworkers who don’t see their interests as aligned with management. Now to only overcome autistic burnout (which I suspect I’m only using as an excuse to be lazy) and the inevitable peer pressure I’ll get from virtually everyone in my white treatlerite labor aristocratic support network. Maybe I should just go thermonuclear and burn all bridges with people I know regardless of whether or not they treat me badly (they’re all nice to me)?






IDK. TBH I’ve been feeling a lot more self destructive lately. I tend to disparage my own profession because so much has structurally pushed us to churn out garbage even before the sloppers. I probably shouldn’t be saying software engineering isn’t a real job. It’s just getting unbearable working with people who are so glad to hand the employer the rope to hang us with.
