I'm kind of sick of being a dev. I hate AI with a passion.

I hate the hallucinations, I hate slop, I hate megacrops, I hate the environmental impacts, I hate the massive costs. I could go on but you get the picture.

At work I often times have to review vibe code slop from people who clock in 9 to 5 and don't give a fuck (I respect that, I just wish your fucking code wasn't slop)

I'm sick of it, I'm sick of hearing about AI tooling or new models or bro agentic actions bro based on your documentation bro.

I want to switch careers, so which career is not ruined by AI?

Locksmithing/access control is an industry that is sorely lacking new people...

Interesting. I was considering locksmithing as a way to get some supplemental income later in life. I've done skilled labor and light IT work most of my life and it seemed like a good fit for my skill set. I'll have to move that to the top of the pile of possibilities.

As long as you are already mechanically inclined it's not that hard to learn and it's not as hard on your body as a lot of other trades.

Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for.
