I know there's a lot of gloom with the MS buyouts and implications for Microsoft

BUT I wanted to remind that there's still massive pull for FDE hiring across the industry, and AI-related infra folks as I hear. Eg Salesforce is hiring FDEs like mad.

Keep up with the cutting edge, and you'll see more demand than if you don't!
