Raw LLM Responses

I was in similar situation- boring non-complex backend development, ~20hrs / week of focused work, few meetings, chill company. Now in May 5th I’ll be joining a new company where I’ll be the team lead on an Agentic AI based greenfield project, although I’ve never implemented anything complex AI based on production yet. Will I be working 50-60 hours a week while spending another 10-20 studying AI related stuff? Probably. Will it be more intense and complex (i.e. “not chill”) work compared to my previous job? Definitely. But when you’re in a comfort zone you’re stagnating, IMHO. And would I choose a chill job in my 30s to be useless for the tech job market in the next 5-10 years? Definitely no! So let’s keep it hard to be stronger and more competent in the future! Push it hard, leave the comfort to grow as a professional! Let’s f***ng go!
