The Fortune 500
So my Fortune 500 issue finally arrived last week. I was surprised at how many French companies there were near the top of the list (especially given how few days a year one works here), and especially surprised to see the last two clients I've worked at on the list (both of them in the 100-150 range). Although I guess it makes sense that they would be--since those who know my technology preferences know that I measure how cool a computer is by how closely it resembles a washing machine, and I have shaped my skills accordingly:
Java EE, DB2, and Unix skills are probably not the kind of stuff smaller businesses would have as much of a use for. So I guess I should be glad that France is well-represented when it comes to big companies.
