To what extent is AI killing jobs? @brianmerchant put out a call to try and find some answers, and now he's sharing the first of them in his Blood in the Machine newsletter. "Generative AI is the most hyped, most well-capitalized technology of our generation, and its key promise, that it will automate jobs, desperately needs to be examined. This is the start of that examination," he writes. His series will be broken down by field and background, and starts with the tech industry, including stories from a TikTok content moderator, former staff engineer at Dropbox, fintech worker and more.

Blood in the Machine · AI Killed My Job: Tech workersVon Brian Merchant

I am a #SoftwareEngineer, and have been for 39 years continuously. Only once has I ever been able to choose my own development PC and tooling. I've always been given something deemed adequate by someone who is not actually doing the job of a software engineer.

I find this strange and very frustrating. Was Leonardo given a set of paint brushes from the local DIY shop in "Vinci", and told to get on with the Mona Lisa and stop whining? Was Michelangelo presented with a set of cheap chisels from the Florence branch of "Chisels are Us", and given a fortnight to finish the statue of David? Unlikely. So why have I, more often that not, been given an over-priced off-the-shelf Dell and a copy of Visual Studio and told to get on with it?

This seems even odder with my current employment, given that for the past 15 years I've been developing primarily for Linux targets, using tooling on Window. It's seems crazy to me, given that we then have to use VMs and linux build agents just so that we can use Visual Studio and Azure DevOps, at great expense, when we could be using #OpenSource solutions on an operating system much better suited (in my opinion) to technical #SoftwareDevelopment.
