I don't care about writing code, all I care is that my work (non-tech) needs to be done. I code out of necessity to save more time, reduce labour and errors. LLM has made a non-programmer like myself and given me super powers, all I have to do is ask the right questions and I am directed to somewhat of a reasonable place to look for a solution and create ones. I can create CRUD apps, use api's and various stacks from multiple programming languages while referencing documentation to build and practice building pretty much what I desire which could have costed me a fortune and a lot of time from professional coders, some work I could not give to anyone else for maintaining confidentiality.

Don't mind my curiosity but I wonder if you do offsite backup of your emails or just take it for granted that Gmail is a reliable enough service ? It is very important to me but I never even considered backing up my Google takeout data. The point I want to make is that service reliability is a critical factor when considering what to backup. It was expected from Heroku to do the right thing and be conservative in their approach.
Amazon has lead the way to a philosophy of hire early and fire early. This is why they have run out of people who would like to work for them with the same conditions that they offered before.
The government's you guys "democratically elected" cause pain to the working classes and did everything that the wealthy and asset owning classes dreamed of. What is the point of democracy if there is no democracy at the workplace itself ? Most workplaces are top down central command authoritarian structures and that is what we all have to face day to day, everyday.
I believe quitting is the last option that workers resort to when there are effectively no organisations and institutions that really represent any of their interest.
Workers take a huge risk every time they quit. To be on an always ready to quit mode and for that to be an enticing says a lot about the general work culture.
