Dont think about your age if someone is looking for experience they will contact you. Yes the market is slow right now but you are not a junior.
I just went through the same process 6 months ago.
What gave good results for me was cutting down my resume to 1 page and highlight the important parts of my career.
Think of it like a one-pager for a startup pitch, but you are the company.
This is not a new problem, as they have been starved of high-end semiconductors for years already. However, catching up to the knowledge that ASML and Zeiss have regarding lithography machines is not an easy task to overcome.
Because they don't decide this on their own. A smart CEO gets board approval before going on a hiring spree, so afterwards, if the CFO shows a negative forecast, everyone can go, 'Oh, who could have seen this?'
CEOs get fired if the board loses trust in their abilities.
If you have access to it in your area, consider looking into KNX for home automation and DALI for lighting. Both are BUS systems that you wire throughout your house, and they are very reliable. They are commonly used in hotels, schools, etc. It might be a bit more expensive and require pre-planning, but these systems have been around for decades in Europe. Plus, you'll be adhering to a standard, not bound to a specific company
Fragmentation at first and you hinder the first mover in this case OpenAI in sizing the market completely and later on you can acquire the necessary pieces to get back into the market or buy time to close the gap.
Current Microsoft strategy seems so push into this direction. Open Source certain technologies and acquire important pieces e.g. Github / Stake in OpenAI etc. to build a bigger picture that they can monetize later.
It will be the first white collar job purge of our generation.
There are so many jobs that now can be easily automated or compressed to a fraction of the workforce needed before. Everyone is a prompt engineer now.
Think goverment / banking / insurrance / big companies
Every workload that is based around consent or rules will be impacted.
Even as a developer my leverage for certain task just went up by a huge margin.
KNX as Cabled Smart Home which talks to the DALI-Bus via a KNX-Dali-Gateway.
And Home Assistant will control the dimming and light temperature via KNX.
Using DALI as control-bus for our lights with products from Kiteo for tunable white they can go from 1.8k-16k with an CRI > 90 and be dimmable from 1%-100% as added benefit they can display the full RGB level aswell.
HCL is a very niche topic for residential lightning and certainly more expensiv than going with Hue but im betting that high quality HCL will improve our lives especially during winter seasons.
With our findings, we prove that SEV cannot adequately protect confidential data in cloud environments from insider attackers, such as rouge administrators, on currently available CPUs.

It is an interesting attack but is the above goal ever achievable? To protect against adversaries from the inside.
One reason they dont give up citizenship is that you are "declared" death and the IRS will come an collect there share. It can become quite expensiv for expats.
Very interessting that i`m on the opposite side of many comments.
For the startup we just founded i was able to crank out a mobile app in less then 3 months without prior mobile or dart experience. Its fast and just works from day one. Certainly something i can recommend for every Fullstack Dev out there who wants to add mobile to his portfolio as 95% of all apps can easily be done in flutter.
The widget aproach for mobile is fantastic cant say it will work the same on the web but certainly on the desktop.
One thing flutter needs is time, that certain champions will be chosen by the comunity (state managment etc.) - see react
But is has a vibing ecosystem that especially empoweres people outside the western world to create beautifully widgets.
Probably the best invention i added to my tool belt for a long time.
Never was i able to move so quickly to style components in a way that works and you only have to learn one set of keywords. Reminds me a little bit of vim learn once apply everywhere :).
Went the same route with WSL2 as nearly everything i need for my daily programming tasks just works and having windows just an alt+tab away for games / office etc. makes it more pleasant to use.
Maybe i`m just getting old and dual booting etc. isn`t my thing anymore but i don`t see myself setting up another distro anytime soon after 20 years.
