In the midst of finding a job, my passion for Web Dev as a career has dwindled; The job market doesn’t want an austismo creating shit’s and giggles, they need a waggie slave to produce shit ton’s of profit for their company— I was a fool for thinking my creative endeavors would lead me to a job full of satisfaction on my whimsy ass. Before, I was thinking of a fuckton of projects that I would do to show the people, “look at me, I can do this and that; I’m such a quirk chungus!” but now shit is different I feel burnt out thinking and planning about fool stack projects that no one would fucking use so what’s the fucking point am I right? My resources can be used elsewhere

AI this AI that…

This industry is ever growing but one thing I hated the most was the integration of generative AI as a tool to assist you with your “productivity”. Fuck that. I don’t like typing prompts, telling this water evaporating machine that whatever it spews out is garbage code. I’m just tired with all the AI in this industry, it felt like I had to adapt or be left behind and I found out, I fell in the latter. I made all the efforts to integrate myself with AI Coding but man, it didn’t just gave me any satisfaction of the work I made; AI tools made the work I’ve done unfulfilling. Another pet peeve of mine is I hate arguing with a dumbass chatbot on the desired outcome; You guys can build shit you want with AI, I’m out of it.

Separation Of My Creative Endeavors From Work

One thing I’ve noticed while finding a career on a “creative tard that can program” is that I was sort of a jack of all trades but master of none in a bad way. In terms of webdesign, I kinda have a knack at it but no way shape or form actually good at using editing tools such as Illustrator or any similar programs; I’ve noticed anything webdesign oriented usually uses no code tools such as Framer and stuff while on the side of progamming is still something I have to work on myself but the fact that I’m too focused of applying for jobs leaves no time for me to self study or maybe I’m just making excuses again. From a career perspective, my line work doesn’t really have to be focused on designing visuals in medium of programming, I could just work on architecting systems that delivers the client’s request.

Using My Passion For Creation Elsewhere

Man all this thinking of ways to create should just be lent on my artistic endeavors such as paiting and pixel art. What was I thinking that I can do it as well in web development. In my current situation, the path of web design or any artistic programming would only end up in a freelance career tbh. So with that in mind I should spend my efforts to wants really important, and that is the satisfaction that comes with creating digital art and art in general as well as writing.

What Will Happen Now?

I’m having a fallout with web dev as a career that once was the goal of mine to achieve but now, I feel like leaning more to the IT Industry and being a network engineer or a technician and as for my back-up plan— I’ll probably be a welder or a ship wrecker
