Tons of “coding adjacent” jobs. QA, Analytics, UX, Web admin, Softwear Admin, LMS, Content Management, Database Admin. Basically anything that might be improved by knowing code, but otherwise requires general knowledge skills are a great place to start.

I work in IT and it’s helping the coding burnout. Turns out when you help people fix their issues all day you get inspired to build/code things again!

What part of coding can’t be replaced by AI? I’d go in that direction. It might not hurt to study a trade at night or in your spare time like plumbing, electrical , carpentry and other services. Those are the jobs that AI won’t be able to replace and your future will be more secure.

I feel the same way and I realized that other ppl probably don’t like their major too, so I created a startup called ratemymajor.come where people rate and talk about their major

-Install Linux -Try TidalCycles (Haskell) or Strudel.cc (JavaScript) for live-coding or algorave [YouTube tutorials exist] -Make silly games for itch.io that you will never sell, fun toys. -Buy a Play.Date and use the free dev kit to make silly things in Lua. Alternatively check out pico-8 -Make an app that keeps track of the value of all of your Pokémon cards -Touch a lot of grass. Go outside as much as you can while it’s still habitable.

Well, on one hand, AI could replace some of those jobs, but on the other, learning those will just be good fun and good for you so do it for sure.
