Hey, I think I share a lot of these emotions. Also left my corp job sometime ago. But the change that happened to me was a bit different: I think I just don’t like corporate programming anymore. (Or corporate design, writing and so on.) When I try to make stuff that isn’t meant for corporate in any shape or form, I find myself doing that happily. Without using AI of course.
Nice, I hope it will last longer for you than my 2.5 years out of corporate environment … and now observing the worse parts of AI hype in startups too due to investor pressures (as if “everyone” was adding “stupid chatbot wrappers” to whatever products they try to make .. I hope I’m exaggerating and I will find some company that’s not doing the “stupid” part, but I think I lost hope on not wanting to see AI all around me .. and not literally every idea with LLM in the middle is entirely useless).
