Ask HN: Best pivot for SWE to work on satisfying engineering challenges?

3•conqrr•2h ago
Most Tech companies in the US have become a sweatshop of LLM generated code. I'm looking for a pivot to an adjacent related field that isn't as badly affected. My initial thoughts are places in tech still exist where people are skeptical of LLM and use it with caution. Places that prioritize correctness over velocity. I have nothing against AI, but I do have a lot against its wild uncontrolled use for everything and a greedy, shortsighted leadership that currently controls the tech industry. I know there is going to be a reckoning at some point, but I don't want to wait for our industry to course correct.

I doubt other engineering fields (Electrical, civil, mechanical) are affected as much as Software Engineering is. What would be adjacent places that I can pivot to without starting from scratch and getting a degree.
