Who does your assistant serve?

OpenAI’s release of GPT-5 backfired: instead of excitement, users felt betrayed by a forced upgrade that stripped away the warmth and reliability they had come to rely on in GPT-4o. Many treated the model as more than a tool — a companion, therapist, or emotional support — so when its personality sh.. read more

AWS deleted my 10-year account and all data without warning

AWS permanently nuked a 10-year customer account—data, backups, everything—after a payment verification failed. That alone broke their own 90-day retention policy. It gets messier. Looks like an internal script meant to run as a “dry run” went full send in production. Blame a Java CLI parsing edge .. read more

Does platform engineering make sense for startups?

Does platform engineering make sense for startups?
BAO, c’est les chasseurs Tech et Produit qui apportent de la transparence au recrutement. Depuis Paris et Bordeaux, ils ont fait du monde startup leur terrain de jeu en décidant de ne travailler que sur très peu de postes à la fois. Pourquoi ? Parce qu’on voit la chasse comme un sprint dans lequel on travaille main dans la main avec nos clients : nous donnons un maximum de visibilité et de conseil à nos startups partenaires.

En créant BAO, en 2019, Baptiste et Lucas ont décidé de mettre l’écoute au cƓur de leur travail. Curiosité, sourire et empathie sont le seul trait commun à toute l’équipe !

Le bouche-à-oreille est au centre de leur manière de chasser : chaque recruteur entretient son réseau, conscient que la proximité amène à de belles rencontres.
Travailler chez BAO c’est avoir la volonté de rencontrer des personnes aux parcours passionnants et de tisser des liens avec eux. Mais c’est aussi gagner en autonomie tout en profitant d’une équipe dans laquelle les membres s’encouragent mutuellement.

C'est de la vente sans avoir à être agressif, des évolutions rapides au sein d’un écosystème passionnant et un environnement de travail ambitieux sans se prendre trop au sérieux.
