the good news is there is an opportunity sitting there for the taking. i can skip the having my cv weeded out and go straight to interview.
the bad news is that they want experience with agentic development. specifically i will have to be able to answer questions about my setup at the interview and at work they'll expect me to use it most of the time.
now i don't want to, i don't think i've made much of a secret for my distaste for it or the reasons why. on top of that, i am incredibly aware that i am human too and there is a very real risk that i could experience cognitive decline and ai psychosis just like anybody else. i don't know what to do about that other than to keep up hand programming when i'm not at work. but where do i find the energy?
anyway, the dire situation i find myself in doesn't really allow me to turn even such distasteful opportunities away. i'm absolutely not going here willingly, more like kicking and screaming, really.
so with that, i would like some non-judgmental advice on how to go about catching up with the latest muppetry securely at minimised ethical cost on slightly fucked hardware (i can't peg the cpu too hard or it will hang or reboot and it has an old graphics card (radeon wx5100 pro)).
