I’m a principle engineer, I’m broke as shit and I can see everyone else being incompetent (and outsourcing their brains to Claude) all day.
Gimmie one of these 130k jobs where I don’t need to know anything, I’m sick of BS infra and k8s and shitass applications made as zillions of fucked microservices written by people who already bounced.

I’m an unprincipled engineer, in that case.
I’ve heard this before, not everything has to become a microservice rather it’s okay for some aspects to be a monolith.
