Still unemployed and getting increasingly worried about my situation. Any help finding a good, stable tech job is deeply appreciated!
I've coded for 30 years, since I was an eight-year-old. I was a CTO of a Y Combinator company. I'm a polyglot down to work in most languages.

Quand je lis le CTO de Proton dire "Your job is no longer to write code. Every engineer is now a manager of agents" ça me rappelle les années 90 (oui, j'étais déjà au boulot), où nombre de grand-comptes ont outsourcé leurs développements, parce que ça n'était pas leur core business.

J'aime beaucoup Reddit mais c'est parfois un monde parallèle, où à chaque fois que quelqu'un dit "je vais ouvrir un Livret A pour mon bébé et y verser 50 euros par mois 👼" on lui rétorque : "mais non il faut ouvrir un CTO d'ETF World, nous on y a mis 30.000 euros à la naissance !"
