I am a programmer, which means that either I sit around doing nothing all day because chatgpt is doing my job, or I am the guy fixing printers around here.

People pay me money, and then I worry about the same things that they worry about, only more eloquently.

I used to tell people to turn it off and back on again. Now I tell other people how to tell people to turn it off and back on again.

To be clear, this is not to insult on anyone's job. It is a just way to observe if the workers are aware of their occupation's stereotypes or not.

I prep the stuff, put it in a machine, and pray everything looks okay when it comes out. I also prep other stuff, load it onto a different machine, and hope everything comes out looking okay. And then there’s a whole different set of stuff that I prep a lot of, check to make sure it looks okay, then send to a different team who will prep it in a completely different way.

Chef or content manager?

Neither, although I think it would be cool to be a chef.

Definitley somebody who works with scripts or code.

I know many chefs. If you like cooking all I will say is make it a hobby.

Good guess, but no to that as well. A lot of people in my career area have some degree of coding experience. I’ve done some coding and thought about going back to school for it but I think I’d miss getting to do the work that I do now.

Yeah, I’m not the best cook but I do enjoy it at the hobby level and don’t believe I’d survive in an intense kitchen situation. I’ve learned at least that much from watching The Bear haha.
