> The industry calls this “10x productivity.” I call it what it is: a system that generates output at machine speed and forces humans to process it at biological speed.

The question is can you tolerate the amount of PRs thrown at you per day on top of reviewing the exponentially growing mess of code that continues to double every hour and being paid less for it.

Just learn to say no and leave. Why do you tolerate the increasing comprehension debt that is loaded on to you.

You will never get that time back. Just give it to someone else that thinks it is worth maintaining that slop for less.

The job market under our Great Leader has taken away a lot of this agency. Software engineers have gone from having the pick of the market for themselves to becoming (perceived as) next to disposable.

That's a very American-centric point of view; the job market worldwide for developers is getting tougher and tougher.

I'm willing to have my leader take some of the blame for this as well. I think the decisions of the leader of the what's still the largest economy of the world likely has an outsized impact on the rest of the world too. It's getting less and less, for sure, but still significant. I'm not trying to be American-centric, I'm trying to accept that what we do has an impact despite unequally applied isolationist mentality of some here.
