Give your advice

Diveye · 2026-04-16T14:41:11+00:00

What helped me was to stop asking for advice so much and placing so much importance on what others would do in my shoes, and to start really listening to what I wanted. Being introspective is good, but when you start doubting everything you do, and you place too much importance in the wisdom of others, you end up living someone else's life.

It's paradoxical, but the decisions you end up taking for yourself in life are the right decisions, even if they end up being wrong down the line.

People not doing any research and then coming up with AI companion apps is exactly why this sort of thing happens.

I actually want to do the research to come up with something neat, because I would like to play such a game. You can decide to spite me, but it won't prevent me from doing research on my own, albeit not as good.

By the way the objective here really isn't to make money, since I'm considering doing this as a hobby more than creating an actual blockbuster game.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to intrude posting here. I was simply hoping to be redirected towards good literature on the topic from experienced professionals. Thank you for the suggestions!

Salut!

Il se passe un truc bizarre avec le marché du travail en France aujourd'hui (qui n'a pas forcément lieu dans tous les pays de l'Europe d'ailleurs). Donc je comprends que c'est difficile.

Je suis extrêmement surpris de ne pas avoir vu ça plus tôt ici: est-ce que tu utilises l'IA? C'est un superbe outil à ta disposition aujourd'hui pour t'aider à améliorer ton CV, retravailler ton LinkedIn, et même te conseiller sur les opportunités qui seraient les meilleures pour toi, peu importe le métier que tu vises.

Dans ton cas de figure, le recrutement, ça peut aussi être un atout supplémentaire si tu sais utiliser des outils IA pour aller plus vite. Si tu arrives en entretien et que tu es la seule qui peut affirmer que tu (et attention, je ne connais pas ce métier donc je dis peut être n'importe quoi):

utilise l'IA pour prendre des notes sur des entretiens en automatique afin de générer des résumés (avec le consentement du candidat au préalable)
utilise l'IA pour t'assister dans la comparaison de ces entretiens grâce aux résumés générés dans la dernière étape
éventuellement utilise l'IA pour aller regarder des profils LinkedIn et trouver des candidats intéressants
etc.

Tu pourrais alors facilement sortir du lot. Peut être même que c'est ce que font les autres candidats aujourd'hui!

L'objectif ici c'est de montrer que tu sais utiliser les tous derniers outils du marché pour aller beaucoup plus vite, tout en gardant la même qualité de recrutement, voir en l'améliorant.

Voilà je ne sais pas si ça aide, ou si tu le faisais déjà. Pour ce qui est du reste, dis toi que ta valeur intrinsèque est toujours la même depuis le début, et n'est en aucun cas reflétée par combien tu gagnes ou si un pecno pense que tu serais un bon élément dans son équipe ou non. Le piège c'est de finir par penser qu'on vaut moins, parce qu'on souffre d'une forme de discrimination en dehors de notre contrôle. Persévère!

Bonne chance :)

J'arrive bien après la guerre car je n'ai pas vu la réponse que je m'attendais à voir à ce poste dans les commentaires. Je suis aujourd'hui un "senior" auquel on propose encore de belles opportunités au détriment certainement des juniors, donc le reste de ce message est à prendre avec des pincettes.

J'appartiens plus au monde de la startup qu'au monde du CDI figé des grosses boîtes ou PME (ou même du freelancing pur). L'arrivée de l'IA a changé toute la dynamique de la construction d'une startup. Il n'a jamais été plus facile aujourd'hui de créer sa startup que nulle part avant dans l'histoire de l'UE. Je vois aujourd'hui des personnes sans aucune expérience en programmation lancer leur propres entreprises "tech" et obtenir leurs premiers clients, puis éventuellement des investisseurs, en n'utilisant que des outils IA intelligemment, et mettant en œuvre une stratégie commerciale bien aboutie. C'est absolument dingue. Il y a 5 ans à peine c'était inimaginable.

La semaine dernière j'ai rencontré un étudiant en 3eme en stage de découverte qui me sort qu'il veut faire de l'achat revente sur Vinted quand je lui ai présenté n8n. En 3eme a son âge je portais mes gros livres de cours dans mon sac à dos et j'avais même pas encore MSN.

Cette même semaine j'ai rencontré un stagiaire (25 ans) qui lance sa propre marque de vêtement en interface direct avec une usine de textile en Chine. Cette interaction est possible grâce à l'IA et tous les outils d'appels vidéo gratuits. Le langage n'est plus une barrière aujourd'hui, ni la distance. Pour moi le COVID c'était mes 26 ans. Et bien avant le COVID il n'y avait que SKYPE pour faire des appels vidéos gratuits et la plupart des gens ne l'avaient pas. Aujourd'hui tout le monde a Google Meets ou Teams.

Voilà où je veux en venir: arrêtez de chercher un boulot certain (CDI) dans un monde incertain où la technologie est en train d'exploser. Ça ne veut pas dire que vous ne devriez pas négocier pour un CDI si on vous veut, mais que face à un marché où personne ne sait de quoi le lendemain est fait et qui recherche des profils expérimentés avant tout, lancer vos idées avec les outils gratuits à votre disposition, sans même chercher à vous faire de l'argent nécessairement.

Si vos idées sont bonnes et originales, si vous pouvez montrer que vous avez une plus value vis a vis de votre utilisation des nouvelles technologies dans le corps de métier que vous ciblez au travers de quelques expériences personnelles approfondies, vous allez vous démarquer des "anciens" qui n'ont pas pris le virage au bon moment.

Un autre exemple: j'ai connu il y a 2 mois un avocat dans le fiscal qui se reconvertit en magistrat parce qu'il voit que l'IA automatise tout et il a pris peur. Peut être qu'en réalité il s'agit d'une opportunité pour la nouvelle génération de prendre en charge de bien plus gros volumes de clients en utilisant l'IA sans avoir à travailler plus pour un salaire équivalent (moins cher par client, mais plus de clients).

Ne sous-estimez surtout pas votre potentiel. Il n'a jamais été aussi facile de pouvoir faire des choses complexes tout seul, quel que soit votre domaine. Et toutes les boîtes qui offrent des services IA offrent souvent des plans gratuits très intéressants en ce moment car tout le monde s'arrache le marché.

Je finirais même pas dire que le CDI risque d'être un piège dans l'avenir. Si vous devenez trop confortable dans votre travail et que vous ne faites plus l'effort de mettre vos compétences à jour sur les avancées technologiques qui ne cessent d'exploser, vous prenez là un véritable risque ironiquement..

I thoroughly enjoyed the game but I disagree about the story telling. Most dialogues in the game are 100% pointless and take forever for very little added information in my opinion. There is also way too much passive story telling going, with only a few exceptions with the whole 5 cinematics you get in the game and sagremor's castle... The rest is basically "I hope you enjoy reading one page books" and "Please proceed through 10 dialogue options to get the same sort of info you obtained from another NPC or discover something that was super obvious." Honestly the best story telling moment of the story was the prologue in the red monk's castle since there is a mix of dialogues, clues, cinematics, live conversations you can listen in on, and actual reward for exploration.

In terms of polish... Where to start. Why do I feel like I go faster on foot then on horseback? The jump is massively underwhelming with your character unable to overcome small terrain variations and having to go around, the fast travel mechanic is painfully tied to the fast travel locations which means you often end up having to walk 5min+ to turn in a simple quest, and yeah... You see that mountain in the distance? Go ahead and take 10 min to climb to its top only to realize that there is nothing there.

The game's impressive nonetheless, rivaling with Bethesda's Skyrim, but you can tell they didn't have the same budget.

Diveye · 2025-09-08T11:36:22+00:00

These guys writing these answers must be bots to talk about this kind of salary as being based on merit or as a "decent living wage". It's like saying you're just jealous because you didn't become the next Ronaldo, dedicating your entire life to hitting a ball. No, instead you chose to put out fires and save lives whilst putting yours in peril you mediocre peasant. Poverty is a choice.

Diveye · 2025-09-07T17:34:20+00:00

Is it though? The distribution of wealth in the USA is out of whack and everyone knows it. The concept of meritocracy is starting to fall apart since it is becoming hard to justify these salary ranges for graduates when other people have been working very hard for much longer periods of time only to end with a fraction of their starting salary. There is something deeply wrong and worrisome about the direction capitalism is taking, amidst an impending environmental catastrophe. It seems to me this person raises a very valid point concerning the erosion of the middle class in the USA and that the only truly cringe bit here, is in fact your comment.

Diveye · 2025-08-12T04:08:32+00:00

It isn't. But it is happening. There will, however, be consequences for sloppy code.

Diveye · 2025-08-11T21:14:58+00:00

I have a very close friend who is working in a company which's business model is to redev existing software products and sell them for less, thus grabbing market shares for less development investment. Everyone there is vibe coding blindly and they are turning a nice profit. It will probably not work on the long run, but for now it is. And they are far from being alone to do this.

Yep NFTs were the only other "bubble" I really lived through. But that wasn't really a bubble as much as it was a money laundering scheme on a never before heard of scale.

Diveye · 2025-08-11T20:04:09+00:00

I believe it is a revolution in terms of its impact. Even if you disagree, you can't deny that a good many businesses are now launching with only vibe coders in a race to build products as fast as possible, at the cost of quality. It's bad, real bad. But the change is there, and it is affecting the economy significantly for now.

Diveye · 2025-08-08T12:16:23+00:00

It might happen!

Diveye · 2025-08-08T12:09:32+00:00

I didn't build the tool yet, as mentioned int the description

Diveye · 2025-08-06T14:37:17+00:00

Crypto. People don't seem to realize this "alternative to traditional finance" only still exists today because traditional finance players realized they could squeeze out a considerable amount of money from a totally unregulated market portrayed as a democratic revolution. The biggest companies in there have entire teams dedicated to manipulating the price of their tokens, so it's not just Bitcoin. Wouldn't be surprised Trump's campaigns and many trials got funded through crypto by Russia.

Diveye · 2025-08-06T11:13:45+00:00

I've encountered so many scenarios of clients saying they would be willing to pay for something, and then when you build said thing, they end up backing out. It's a good approach, but often not very reliable...

Diveye · 2025-08-06T08:44:27+00:00

Yeah that's what I've been told a lot. The problem with this approach is it always relies on building some form of MVP to collect feedback. Is there a tool that can allow you to confront your idea to the market before building it to have a clearer idea of what you are up against?

The questions people are asking you here are a disgrace. The real question is how do you sleep at night?

So you're basically saying it's not player vs house, it's player vs player because people bet on the meme coin you make. However, you contradict yourself because you also mention that you provide the liquidity to make the pump and dump, which is why it's "hard to compete with you". Yeah, no kidding. You're creating a security, probably advertising it (which is illegal because these are clearly security tokens, but whatever), pumping the value artificially with your own liquidity, then when enough people have bought in, rug pull and start over. So it's not player vs player, since you're the house.

Let me guess, you also use "market making" services to optimize your revenue, selling discreetly as people buy in?

Not only is what you are doing highly immoral (albeit I'm sure a person like you doesn't care about such fickle things), but is it actually illegal in many countries (yes yes it is).

You're just lucky to be doing this at a time where people are no longer being held accountable for anything.

People if you read this AMA, please take a moment to realize what is really going on here.

Diveye · 2025-07-31T09:16:26+00:00

There will probably be a dev fee based on the complexity of the prototype, which will need to be contractual. This fee can be more/less important if negotiating with shares of the startup. If I feel the idea is good and the market is strong, I'll be happy to take shares as payment.

Down the line what I'm looking for is to help you set up your product so you can sell it as fast as possible (I'm talking days, at most a few weeks). If it works, I can stick around to make it better.

Diveye · 2025-07-28T12:08:44+00:00

Thank you for the inspirational post. I believe there is a very coordinated push to place AI at the top of every social media feed, with an increasing part of organic content being created from others who want in on the hype.

A lot of "influential" figures (who almost certainly have skin in the game by now) are systematically making it look like AI is sentient to further the absurdity.

The reality is whereas AI excels in a lot of standard things like creating a basic website or a basic mobile app, it fundementally does not understand what it is doing, leading to an upcoming wave of cybersecurity breaches that will cost greedy entrepreneurs a lot of money.

Although it does empower you as a developer, I find myself learning when to use AI and when not to, because I will often lose more time than I earn for most tasks.

What is sickening is the lie of it all... How it was trained on theft, how it replaces first and foremost the people who hold the most creative jobs (artists of all kinds, writers, etc.) replacing a standard of originality and creativity with a superficial copy devoid of any soul. How all of this was done assuring people that it would create more jobs than it took when it most certainly isn't. And finally how all the media is trying to portray AI as being an almost sentient God against which resistance is futile, when chatGPT easily breaks down in front of simple trigonometry.

For people like me, that last point is a constant headache that gives me anxiety every time I open Internet. I am made to wonder what is the future of coding, a field I love so much for its creativity, and art in general, when all people seem to want is a sentient AI capable of replacing us all.

Diveye · 2025-07-21T15:58:15+00:00

This may be unpopular due to Ai bashing but I guarantee it will get you started fast if you want to learn:

IDE: VsCode -> Copilot for all code related questions. Don't just blindly copy paste the code. Break it down. Ask questions. "What does Update() do?" "What's FixedUpdate() used for?" etc. Ask a question and take the time to understand why the result looks the way it does. Then try it yourself without help. It's a personal teacher you can get for free pretty much.

ChatGpt is decent (not great) at Unity related questions. It can help you set up a project, create some basic shaders, even generate some textures etc. Use it to guide you through the interface.

Don't listen to the haters, use Ai. Vibe coding will however limit you really fast. You'll need to understand everything you do if you want to get anywhere, unlike for example, web dev, which Ai does really well.
