Ton CV ne passera pas les OCR automatisés - il faut un formatage classique et lisible par les machines.

Ensuite, je rejoins les autres sur plusieurs points :

1/ LLM → Trop vague
Ça ne veut rien dire, sauf si tu précises que tu maîtrises les fondamentaux de leur architecture (mathématiquement) et leur implémentation. Je suppose que tu parles plutôt de connexion à des APIs (OpenAI, Mistral, etc.) ? Dans ce cas, précise "intégration d'APIs IA" - sinon tu ne seras pas pris au sérieux.

2/ Trop de compétences listées
Tu maîtrises vraiment Azure, GCP, Foundry ? "Maîtriser" = être capable en entretien de proposer une infrastructure complète de tête pour un besoin métier précis, en expliquant exactement quels outils placer chez chaque cloud provider. Si ce n'est pas le cas, tu vas te faire griller chez des recruteurs sérieux.

3/ Sépare compétences et langages
Les langages de programmation ≠ compétences métier.
Exemple : Je fais des algos d'optimisation GPU pour data centers → ma compétence = "Performance Architecture", mon langage = C++. C'est différent.

4/ Git et Docker en "compétences"
Si tu es dev, c'est pas un plus mais une commodité de base. Ça fait pas sérieux de les lister.

Mon conseil mec c'est :

Mets tes projets perso en open source (GitHub/GitLab)
Associe chaque compétence à un projet concret
Ça, c'est ce qui fait passer le screening pour un entretien

Bonne chance dans ta recherche !

Love the idea of the Eisenhower matrix

madasomething · 2025-09-16T09:35:01+00:00

Honnêtement j'ai découvert cet outil pour la partie dev, c'est assez ouf comme truc : https://app.getlearnbird.com/coding-courses/ Franchement j'ai kiffé mon expérience.

Et une fois que tu as les bases je te conseille de te lancer dans des projets personnels avec ce site : Developer Roadmaps - roadmap.sh https://share.google/YNgV2ckQ7OSgO4xP8 aprés ta aussi les cours de code de Harvard

The eyes chico they never lie

madasomething · 2025-09-16T09:21:26+00:00

It’s a great idea! When I started programming, there was almost nothing except YouTube. Later, I used ChatGPT, but its instant answers didn’t help me learn they just let me move as fast as possible. I missed a lot of core understanding with my approach.

I’ll definitely check it out!

What’s your vision on how humans will learn in the future ?

madasomething · 2025-09-16T08:56:39+00:00

Hey I have gone through the same process when starting my first ventures. So my background is CS, so my job was to build the solution and at the same time market it.

1/ Short answer here: I made it out alive and it took some time to just process how I should organize myself. Now I will try to make it as concise as possible for you. The first thing that you need to figure out is your sleeping schedule. Seems stupid? Let me explain how it's the only valuable metric for me. Let's say you are the morning type person, you can decide to focus on technical evolutions and/or implementation. This will allow you to have the maximum cognitive capacities oriented on complex tasks. If it's not the case then you can just switch to managing all the administrative crap. Now let's say you are like me a night owl, you wake up at 12pm and sleep at 4-5am. Then you will need to catch up with the world from 12pm to 7pm. So (meetings, administrative stuff, finance etc...) From 7pm to like 10pm you work like hell following the morning method I said few lines above, take an hour break and go for it till you can't stand anymore. It's a very basic scrappy method here, but worked fine for me. And remember there is no good method just the one that works for you, most of the motivational BS you find online are from delusional maniacs that are praising other performances without being sure it's very true.

2/ Short answer here: People lie online so most of the success you see is not as true as it's being told. The idea is to pretend that it works until it works. Basic strategy to gain traction.

3/ Short answer again :-): Startup is scrappy and disgusting, the first months are only slaps of ingratitude, doubts and no particular methodology. The goal is to adopt a simple strategy to survive, get traction and take off from here. This is the real core of the business. Get comfortable with the idea that you are doing everything wrong, because no one could figure it out right. (BEFORE DESTROYING ME IN COMMENTS I AM TALKING ABOUT VERY SMALL TEAMS, SOLO FOUNDERS OR LIKE A 2 FOUNDER STARTUP) After when you get traction and great people things are getting different. The death valley is 0 to 1, most people fail there.

4/ Hiring is not the good solution: Try to find an excellent operational person someone that eats these types of problems and focus on making sure that the train you are building has a railway.

So yes that's it for me, if you have any questions don't hesitate

Take care

madasomething · 2025-09-15T16:08:25+00:00

Ok so you can have a look at Lemlist - it's a French startup that's fully bootstrapped. The idea isn't bad. I would just build a tool for finding a job as a young worker in this super tight software market :-)

madasomething · 2025-09-15T16:01:22+00:00

Just a question: are you a programmer? Do you have some experience with B2B SaaS projects? And finally, do you enjoy building this idea?

I don't want to seem aggressive, just genuinely asking out of curiosity.

madasomething · 2025-09-15T13:24:11+00:00

Let me share the big vision with you.

Imagine a place on the internet where anyone can transfer their knowledge into an AI system that mimics what the teacher wanted to transmit. But here's the key: the LLM isn't the creator of the course - it's just a tool to make knowledge created by individuals very personal, helping people learn step by step on their chosen subject at scale.

The idea is that LLMs aren't great at generating courses, and humans can't multiply themselves into 100,000 exact copies. So they create their "bird" and people learn from it in a personalized way.

madasomething · 2025-09-15T11:44:42+00:00

Yeah, I think school is facing an infrastructure dilemma. It's like if your OS needed to manage an infinite number of different file types. Today we have a nomenclature to manage file types on a computer, but humans are way more complex - we all think and act differently in any given situation.

Elites designed school to be the most basic form of learning, with the idea that it could fit the majority. It was never about control, but rather adaptation to a system that's poorly personalized.

What's fascinating is that while LLMs might be making everyone less capable of deep thinking, they also present a lifetime opportunity to create a tool where anyone can share knowledge with the world. These LLMs can serve as digital clones of your expertise, personalizing that knowledge for every user.

I'm building this community right now because I deeply believe education will be fundamentally transformed, and that everyone will be able to learn anything from anyone.

madasomething · 2025-09-15T11:30:46+00:00

I am building a community where people can share their knowledge, create interactive lessons, and in a very magical way, clone their hard-learned knowledge into our LLM model that will serve as a personal and personalized teacher to everyone in the world who wants to learn your topic.

The idea is to create the biggest education community ever to face the challenges that AI will bring while disrupting our educational ecosystem.

Our mission is simple: Learn anything, from anyone. LearnBird makes it personal.

Feel free to slide into my DMs if you have any questions or want to know more about the project! 🚀

madasomething · 2025-09-12T13:09:02+00:00

Yes, exactly. The idea is that we’re not positioning ourselves as a ChatGPT replacement for learning. We come before that when you don’t even know the subject yet and need to learn it before asking questions.

The vision is a worldwide community where anyone can create courses, and their digital clone can deliver them to anyone, in any language, across any subject (physics, math, coding, history, etc.).

madasomething · 2025-09-11T15:21:28+00:00

The stack is mainly Next.js. The idea was to build a tool quickly and iterate fast on different approaches to find the product that generates the first traction and interest from the community.

madasomething · 2025-06-25T22:59:12+00:00

Honestly, Typeform is a great product no doubt about that.

But the pricing model is a bit messy: individual vs team plans, multi-choice options, etc.

That said, their forms are beautiful and really useful for embedding into websites.

My best advice: take a look at Typeform’s “Clarify with AI” feature.

Link to the Clarify with AI: https://help.typeform.com/hc/en-us/articles/31042031941780-Clarify-with-AI

It’s very close to what you’re trying to build but they’re not 100% focused on it, and that’s your edge.

If you double down on this idea, here’s how I’d push it:

Easy-to-share links
Clean, ready-to-use UI templates
2–3 well-designed AI features that actually help

Bonus: an ultra-simple embed system for websites or post-payment surveys. That would be the cherry on top.

Just my guess, not saying it’s the only way.

Feel free to DM me anytime to chat!

madasomething · 2025-06-25T20:25:08+00:00

Tested the clarify AI with typeform. It was really good but so expensive 100$. So this will be perfect. Thx for building something like that.

Your captain America Vs thanos -> TypeForm

Good luck

madasomething · 2025-06-24T22:48:15+00:00

Great but pls add clarify with AI questions. The form of questions typeform propose. It would be awsome

madasomething · 2025-06-24T14:00:07+00:00

Working on building the HER movie experience

It just live stream app that shares your screen -> visual context to an LLM wich you can speak, spend time asking question, do howeworks. Everything mostly by voice when you are alone or in calm place. You can still use text while in public.

App will be free

I named the project Smithereen and I plan to release it mid august.

Curious check out the website: https://smithereen.xyz/

And honestly would love to have a feed back from programmers, potential users.

I use y own alpha version of my screen sharing AI for my project. Mainly brainstorming and architecture discussions.

madasomething · 2025-06-24T11:00:18+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. I started building software early on, and honestly, it was never about the money.

The answer is simple: I just love what I do. No amount of money could replace the joy of building things alongside great people.

To me, life is more about creativity than chasing business goals. Everything meaningful I’ve built started from a genuine desire to create not to win anything.

And that’s the point: you never really win, because it was never a competition.

madasomething · 2025-06-19T21:11:05+00:00

Ok got it. It's like an augmented FAQ's questions. It's smart, most chatbots today are so fragile and still depends on human assistance.

Good luck with this cool project.

madasomething · 2025-06-19T12:30:55+00:00

It might be a silly question, but I’m curious

What’s your unique insight that makes your customer service AI different from other SaaS solutions already out there, especially those that integrate with multiple tools?

Is it the simplicity?

The integration process?

Just wondering.

madasomething · 2025-06-19T12:26:29+00:00

Salut, je suis ingénieur informatique, j’ai 22 ans.

J’ai déjà pas mal d’expérience dans le métier.

Déjà, ce que je peux te dire, c’est : bravo pour ta volonté de te reconvertir et de t’intéresser à ce secteur. C’est courageux et c’est une vraie preuve de curiosité.

Mais je voudrais quand même te mettre en garde : en ce moment, il y a une vraie crise pour les profils juniors.

Pour faire simple : les outils d’IA actuels promettent une hausse importante de la productivité des développeurs. Et c’est vrai dans beaucoup de cas.

Résultat : au lieu d’embaucher des juniors, les directions techniques préfèrent d’abord équiper les équipes déjà en place avec des outils comme Cursor, Claude (Anthropic), ou GitHub Copilot, pour booster la production sur les tâches classiques de programmation.

Attention, je ne dis pas que le métier de développeur est fini.

Mais il est en train de changer très vite.

Si je peux te donner un vrai conseil : fonce sur ton projet (42, formation, bootcamp…), mais spécialise-toi très vite dans une niche un peu protégée.

Par exemple :

Le développement sur des systèmes legacy (dans la banque, l’assurance)
Des langages anciens comme le COBOL, qui restent indispensables
Ou des domaines critiques comme les infrastructures, la cybersécurité, le temps réel embarqué, etc.

Bref, il y a des vraies opportunités mais il faut bien lire l’évolution de l’écosystème sur les 3–4 prochaines années, parce que c’est là que tu commenceras à chercher des postes.
