Receiving emails from ancient students, now in the workforce, who stumbled on my article about my exam:

https://ploum.net/2026-01-19-exam-with-chatbots.html

One of the subject raised is how they are literally forced to use chatbots by their employers and how much time they are losing because of that.

I’m sensing an opportunity for companies to hire very good developers by telling them "We will never force or encourage a tool you don’t want to use".

Good luck to all devs looking for a cool job!
