  • I did try to work for opensource company, but strangely none of them accepted .NET as an acceptable experience. So I had to either find an entry-level Java position, and cut my paycheck by half, or continue to work where I do while changing things from the inside.

    I already managed to introduce some open-source tools here and there (we now uses DBeaver instead of SSMS, Insomnia instead of Postman, among others), and intend to continue for as long as I can.

    As for the appointment, in about 70 years, according to the current life expectation.


  • You are talking about me, aren’t you ?

    If so, no, I don’t work for Mistral at all, but I do work for a company selling M$ products to businesses. You know, to pay rend, food, things like that.
    But M$ requires us to be certified to get prospects from them, and as such we are encouraged to do at least all basic certification relative to our field, which includes AI, Azure, C#, and the likes.

    That why I knew that the use of Shavian alphabet is mostly useless, as even a basic free AI is able to mostly decipher it. If a free one can, I’ll let to your imagination what a more advanced one can do.

    Now why did I use Mistral ? Simply because it happened to be installed on my phone for test purpose. I rarely use it, but I have to admit it is useful for specific scenarios. But once I can install an hardware accelereted local AI on my phone, Mistral can eat shit.
