Ask HN: What tech job would let me get away with the least real work possible?
Same as the popular question from 2021: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26721951 I'm asking again as a lot has changed in the past few years especially w.r.t LLMs, coding agents etc. copy pasting from the op: "I'm an average developer looking for ways to work as little as humanely possible." - I really don't care about the product I work on. I just want to do some task/project and checkout. - Fully remote will be ideal. - Salary can be on the low end. - I feel the world currently is too hyper-capitalistic and I don't think I fit in well. On top of that my country has a billion+ people and everything seems like battle for scraps. Unless I hit home with some indie hacking/side project, I don't think this will be possible. I believe there must some niche apps/plugin/extension/ssydev roles for some crm/cms etc that might fit the bill. Few point to note: - No, I'm not that depressed. I'm just deeply unhappy with the current state of things. - No, I'm not giving up on life. - It may look like I'm not be good fit for tech/programming jobs. But I still like tech and solving tech problems. I just dont want my life to revolve around it. - It could be that im not challenged well in my job. But I'm not sure whether I'd like to be drowned in work as well. Thanks for any advice or hostile/dismissive comments you provide I appreciate it.
