i need more money. Seriously. My expenses exceed my income. Now, i used to make literally twice as much as i make right now, so it's entirely reasonable to think i could get a better job, but there's a problem: i am a computer programmer and i absolutely despise AI for many, many reasons, and if i had to work with it i think i would burn out fast. i was burned out 3 years ago, even. Quit my job and tried to do indie game dev, but that didn't work out either. Now i am recovered enough to do a regular job again, but AI is just a nightmare. i have no idea what to do. My whole resume is filled with programming, some sysadmin stuff, but those skills are especially rusty.

i guess i'm just ranting into the void, but if anyone has any suggestions for a 57 year old programmer who hates the way the computer industry is going, my ears are open.
