I want to quit my computer programming job so bad.

Reasons:

My job has devolved into only working with AI and LLMs.
And the worst part is the team leader is an AI zealot and
basically a vibe coder. I really care about computer programming.
Like it's also what i do for fun hobbies.

Also I have moral issues with teh current crop of AI/LLM technologies.
And it is not lost on me that I am a part of it by working in it.

I know I am supposed to get a job BEFORE I quit, but that
rarely works for me. I don't have the spoons to job search
while my current job is making me so depressed.

I have some savings, and I also am looking for local jobs that
aren't IT related. I can do LOTS of things. Restaurant/kitchen work.
Grocery store product management. (like stocking and inventory etc.)
I was good at doing maintenance at a ski resort.

So should I just quit and ride on my savings until i get another job?
I don't know what will happen to money anyways so maybe I should
use some of it up while it still has value ?

I have lots of work I can do on my house if I am not working at a miserable
job. This will be the second time in my life i wasn't employed, and last
time it was wonderful. The problem this time is if i quit I don't get
unemployment, but like i said I have some savings. I have enough in my
bank to pay off my house if i needed to, and then some more.

saw this line and voted quit

the line "is something *good* about to happen to those people?" came to mind https://xkcd.com/1170/

@pkw also saying this as someone who's got a whole-ass thing lined up right now but i don't have the spoons to actually work on it while still at my day job...

I know someone that might have a lot of time soon ... :P
