After nearly a decade in tech, Oklahoma-based software engineer Tabby Toney left the industry for good following a layoff driven by AI-driven changes. Disillusioned by the increasing automation and loss of creative input in her work, she turned to welding—a skill she enjoyed in high school and now sees as a more fulfilling career. With formal training ahead, Toney has no plans to return to software, choosing instead a hands-on path where she feels more in control of her work and future. |
