I should just wander the country starting half-assed clones of popular apps for clueless non-tech companies. I'll bet the CTO of Wal-Mart's video app division is doing pretty well for himself, a lot better than I am as a FAANG code monkey..
Not for nothing, and I don't know if it has changed in the last years, but I remember that Walmart's tech division was packed with brains that could easily rival anything in SV. They were just focused on different things.
