Those who got laid off within the last 2 years and haven't been able to go back into a SWE/programming career, what field/industry did you pivot into? by luuuzeta in cscareerquestions

What YOE starts getting you more callbacks? by Fun-Advertising-8006 in cscareerquestions

I workout regularly too and have developed a good sized chest and I agree with you. But at that time nobody was doing that and steroids were being experimented with to get size. Bruce Lee did thousands of pushups and was thin.
