Yea, working in tech be like that sometimes. I quit my current job because I hate the AI push (especially the part about paying Antropic 250€ per month per employee) and because I think relying on AWS for critical European infrastructure is a really stupid idea.
The new job I'm starting in October isn't much better though. It's with a company that I would personally never ever enter a customer relationship with. It's still reliant on AWS, but at least it's not critical infrastructure. An AWS outage would only cost the company, not the customer. And the AI push in the new company is much milder because the teams there are highly skilled 3-5 senior engineer teams that don't tolerate being told what tools to use.
