Are there any companies who are anti-AI?

2•anti-ai-dev•4h ago
Claude is arguably the best AI tool out there, however I am seeing many developers submitting garbage PRs and losing the ability to code without AI. I use AI out of pressure from the company, but I am already a high performance developer who is now overwhelmed on top of the existing burnout and AI is taking away the joy of coding.

AI also increases human impact on climate change and citizens are paying the cost through water competition with data centers and increasing electricity costs. Not to mention that Hegseth may have used AI to determine targets to strike in Iran resulting in school girls losing their lives.

Are there any companies who believe that clean code, design patterns, cookie cutter code snippets, etc performs better and is cheaper than AI?

You are conflating so many things in this post that it's hard to interpret your reasoning. Companies don't "believe" in anything besides profit, the extreme minority of software companies prioritize anything else. Besides self-employment there really aren't many opportunities for you to conscientiously object.

If you want to stop managing other people's AI slop, consider a lower-level role that doesn't hinge on your seniority. Even before AI, being a "good programmer" consigned you to 24/7 code review. If you can't compete in that kind of environment, your best option is to go indie.

AIs are not conscious, but most critics can't adequately explain why
