As someone who's planning to get into low level - would you still recommend C++ or rust?

I think AI for an autodidact is a boon. Now I suddenly have a teacher who is always accessible and will teach me whatever I want for as long as I want exactly the way I want and I don;t have to worry about my social anxiety kicking in.
Learn advanced cryptography? AI, figure out formal verification - AI etc.
To me it seems like a strategic shift from pure AI research and the AGI snake oil to other supposed tangible stuff.
In short, the AI revolution is mostly over, and we seem to be back in the realm of software.
Thanks for looking me up though!
I do have quite a big network, but haven't really tapped into that at the moment!
Do you mind sharing whats your profile like(FAANG/Start-ups, Frontend/Backend etc) and the kind of inbounds you've been getting on linked-in. I just get recruiter spam that they almost never reply to!
I will go through it very very carefully!
This is so spot on!!
I can basically do Python, Java and Golang(and Haskell as well but no ones hiring for it)pretty well!!
I don't think ageism is a big concern for where I am right now. I am basically 34 and have about 12 years of experience so might have 2-3 years of good work left in the industry before ageism starts to kick in I suppose!
I am in India(had to move back from the west - Canada because of my health issues) so goverment work is non existent!
I will probably want to put in all the effort I can to evolve before I give up on tech! But the though has crossed my mind!
Just updated it on the website!
I am trying to spin up a blog that focuses on how the 0 to 1 journey of startup founders.
I firmly believe that everyone is able to come up with an idea and with the AI tools available building it has also become relatively easier.
However what people really struggle with(including me) is marketing and sales i.e getting their first customers.
The format is simple: we usually do a 1-hour conversation where we go through your validation journey, then I turn that into a blog post. You’ll get to review it before it’s published. It’s a good opportunity for a backlink and some visibility, especially since this will be one of the first few posts.
No charge or anything like that—just aiming to share real stories founders can learn from and take away actionable steps from it.
Any business is truly about value creation, I honestly think coding as leverage is getting pretty useless.
Tangible value creation is something I think we should be optimizing for. AI can't walk upto people and sell. You might be selling a service, a product or lemonade it doesn't honestly matter.
On a lighter note, I am thinking of getting into farming, everyone's gotta eat right?
What's really different this time around is getting interviews is a big problem. Earlier you could get some interviews as well, but this time around its VERY seasonal plus and in general quite difficult.
Advaita Vedanta makes no distinction between god and yourself.
Advaita means non-dual. There is no one else except the unmanfiest god of which you are a manifest form.
There a very nice class on the Bhagwan Gita under the context of advaita Vedanta[1] by the vedanta society of New York. I’d suggest listening to it for people interested in the subject.
Curious how this affects things.

While I think being unscrupulous in any shape or form is incorrect, I do feel some sense of revenge in fooling people who whole heartedly give in to this unfair process.
Being unfair to an unfair process, seems pretty fair to me(i know extreme opinion, but I am trying to find a job, its frustrating how people don't care what you are actually going to do at a job, and just ask you random questions that might be related to what you do in a distant way).
I've tried searching for solutions in the past in interview situations, but am not smart enough to cheat like that, always end up fumbling. Hence has resorted to going back to grinding on LeetCode.
> This is clearly written for the beta male audience, and I don't care if I'm roasted over that statement
Exactly, that's what we need labelling people.
> so you can be the strongest person for your children
You don't need to be strongest person all the time. You don't and you can't if you think that you are being that I am sorry you are wrong. And if you actually are being that, then you are basically setting up your kids to always show a strong face even when something's crazy wrong. YOU DON'T WANT THAT.
Hey everyone loves their children, but to assume everyone loves their children exactly way you love yours is being exceptionally naive.

I am basically where you began i.e don't really know what an actual event driven system actually looks like(as in something implemented properly).
1. Could you please tell me what according to you was a major difference between the more amateurish implementation vs the proper implementation(I know this is quite a general question to ask, sorry about that).
2. Since you've seen what proper looks like when it comes to event driven architecture, can you perhaps suggest some resource(could be a book, could be code base) which according to you is the closest someone can get to understanding how a proper event driven system would be implemented.
So these are the exact type of companies I am talking about.
> But from their salary calculator, it seems GitLab pays much below Indian market salaries
I am not sure about this, but from whatever information I have been able to gather/ask people remote companies tend to pay much better than what Indian companies pay.
Till now I have been able to give maybe 5-6 interviews out of which 2 people responded back with feedback .
One company just sent back a generic email about how I was not looking for but the second company/startup did give a nice and detailed feedback.
And it just seems like there are more frontend related jobs than backend. I primarily do backend.
I have been applying through stack-overflow, RemoteOk and Hacker-news who's hiring, however I haven't really applied using Angel-list till now.
I'll check out Angel List
Neither has any potential employer has ever had problems understanding what I am saying nor have has anyone told me it was an issue while giving feedback(I have started requesting for detailed feedback for my application rejections. Most people don't reply , some that do didn't really say anything about my communication skills being bad).
