My manager takes my work (which takes hours), feeds it to AI, and tells me to match the AI's output. Except the AI version makes zero sense for the actual project. I'm so annoyed and checked out that I'm skipping crucial steps in my workflow, making things worse. I used to love this work, but now I’m losing all passion. Has anyone dealt with a boss like this, or is it time for me to quit?

Do you think engineers are better at solving problems or preventing them? I think prevention is harder because success is basically invisible.

Do you think engineering gets more technical or more psychological over time? The longer I work with teams and systems, the more human behavior seems to matter.

I’ve been working in construction since I graduated 5 years ago. I’ve gradually realized I don't want to do this for the next 3 decades, but I feel stuck. Is it too late to switch engineering disciplines without destroying my career progression?

Finally getting into AI in the way that I think it was meant to be used. Claude is a game changer. I was just using chat GPT to make goofy images. Claude can actually do work! Anyone else using AI in cool ways? Need some ideas
