Sounds like this should be the default path if AI is really enabling everyone and setting an even field. Why is it just winner (CEO and co) takes all and losers go home?

Struggling at work with AI mandates. There is heavy top down push to use AI, this is at one of the large Tech companies in the US. This has me quite depressed. Everyone sends slop for reviews and there is an expectation of 2-3x efficiency even after losing a lot of people. This has caused a lot of bugs and issues. I'm sure a lot of places have the same issue and we have accepted this as a new normal.

But are there places US or ROW that are more sane and let you or the team decide what tool to use? How do I find them? Does going lower in the stack help?

Seems like everyone thinks we don't need to solve hard problems or a lot of coding is solved. While I don't think this is true, the area has definitely narrowed. What are you doing that's hard,.deep and rewarding?

Most Tech companies in the US have become a sweatshop of LLM generated code. I'm looking for a pivot to an adjacent related field that isn't as badly affected. My initial thoughts are places in tech still exist where people are skeptical of LLM and use it with caution. Places that prioritize correctness over velocity. I have nothing against AI, but I do have a lot against its wild uncontrolled use for everything and a greedy, shortsighted leadership that currently controls the tech industry. I know there is going to be a reckoning at some point, but I don't want to wait for our industry to course correct.

I doubt other engineering fields (Electrical, civil, mechanical) are affected as much as Software Engineering is. What would be adjacent places that I can pivot to without starting from scratch and getting a degree.
