I am of a particular disposition that makes it difficult for me to do lie about my work, especially if I were in a firm where people are reading my chat transcripts. As much as I want to stick it to The Man, it feels a lot better for me to just say "no" and burn through my 401k until this blows over.
I'm not too proud to admit that this whole thing scares me though. I fail to see how anything will get better.
Congrats, you have a moral compass and you sound raised by good parents. The other people in these threads bragging about burning tokens, not so much.
I’ve sadly had the same thoughts lately to cash out my 401k and say farewell to software development. I’m hanging in for a little longer, I think the AI/greed fever breaks sometime soon (months not years).
