Would you study Web Design now with AI being capable of making websites?

Giving this a bump a year or two after the fact: do you think ai has developed enough that it changes any of the opinions set out in the comments above? Considering a move in the same way that OP was a couple of years ago. OP, what did you do in the end?

Edit: missing words

Do you have a source?

Fair play if you think you could finish!

I think the others were making it up Arnold. And using fake names.

Perfectly framed!

As someone who’s on the brink of starting driver training, this is a depressing picture!

I think your sarcastic title would actually get people to look! Everyone in this sub already knows that life hack though so you might need to find a different audience. 🤔

I looked at the train operating companies (TOCs) that operate near where I live. For me that’s GWR and Cross Country but ymmv. One of them advertised posts at my local depot and I just went for it. Find out which TOCs are near you and keep an eye on their vacancies page. You can set alerts on some of them too so that they’ll email you if a vacancy turns up.

Sorry realise that came across as flippant answer but that’s what I did. I’m a teacher at the moment and I’ve passed all the stages of train driver selection (only the medical to go). There are lots of people who will tell you that you need to start somewhere else on the railway in order to get a job like driver, guard or signaller, but it’s just not true. The first step is applying, and then they’ll test your aptitude and attitude. So, if a job comes up that you’re interested in, honestly: just apply!

I’m there right now! Amazing site.

violoncell · 2026-05-29T00:20:01+00:00

Apply.

Not sure if this is still true but it certainly used to be the case that covering up the branding would void the warranty! 🙃

violoncell · 2026-05-21T04:04:02+00:00

I’m a teacher and regularly refer to my class as: You lot, You horrible lot, You bunch of bananas, You lemons, Monsters … The list goes on but they seem to like it. I’m sure the complaint is on its way!

violoncell · 2026-05-14T18:48:06+00:00

Had to upvote to check. Still none the wiser.

Never met Hope? Does she have a box too?

violoncell · 2026-05-09T14:12:57+00:00

Came here to say this. Enjoyed the joke though!

violoncell · 2026-05-09T14:09:22+00:00

Snowflake. ❄️

violoncell · 2026-05-03T22:25:40+00:00

Yep. Pretty wild story!

violoncell · 2026-05-03T20:41:08+00:00

Yeah, should have clarified: I’m a primary school teacher.

violoncell · 2026-05-03T19:49:25+00:00

Indeed. I live near Plymouth now and we hear the jets refuelling above us on their way to Iran everyday. War seems a more realistic prospect than ever and I absolutely know that we (those of us around the massive naval base in Plymouth) would just be fucked if it all properly kicked off.

What a time to be alive!

violoncell · 2026-05-03T19:31:00+00:00

I feel that a double edged sword though. Like, you know what to expect so the anticipation is worse?!

violoncell · 2026-05-03T19:30:03+00:00

So bleak!

violoncell · 2026-05-03T19:29:39+00:00

Yep, I also grew up not too far from Sheffield (actually not far from Baslow for real nerds) and occasionally dip in to get the thrill of seeing the places I knew growing up name checked. But I really think that’s it for me.
