if you still live in france they will probably need to pay for french benefits and you have no “risks” since you are not moving if you become self employed and work for them this way, you need to multiply your net salary in france by 3x so

every year there is new and more shit to learn and the counter is reset to stay “relevant”. meanwhile those in other professions carry on with their lives in their slow moving field.

that summarizes how rust developers think. we made a “better” language so we don’t need to know how all this underlying stuff works. which is why rust should never be allowed in the linux kernel source tree.

the real value of these companies is 0$. they have nothing of value besides a userbase which is probably 80% dormant anyway.

why do you want your child to become a programmer?
