Hola Grapeviners! I would love to know why are you on the platform?

Ah yes, The worst breed is: [generic gyan] Agree? 245 likes 165 comments Agree. Agree. Agree. Agree. …

@salt The next thing which pisses me off is those guys who share handwritten notes and pdfs of XYZ tech. These fuckers would rather learn from convoluted & misinterpreted notes written by a rando than just read the docs written by or reviewed by the maintainers. If you think the docs can be improved, then just contribute, but no, they would just rather watch a video or cram these dumb notes.

@MutedFlow57 Exactly, not some NPC flavoured generic gyaan like ChatGPT, I want to know specific things, your take and opinion. Not a 5 step guide on how to cold email. 😂

Ya and especially when you are looking for advice on whether to join a certain company, what's the usual package for a role, etc. For all these things you can't get an answer even on Glassdoor and there's no other way to find out (for most of us who don't have an extremely large group and even then, the information might be diplomatic because it is sourced from a known person, unlike here, where it's anonymous).

@PunyDrama38 Tajurba bohot hai sir. AMA karunga soon, there could be some good news in the coming months. 🫡👀 You’re also quite active on Grapevine sir. Would love to hear more from you.

Good to know. I am only 1.7 yrs experienced guy from tier 2.5 college 2020 batch, basically top gov college from Maharashtra. i am Confused sperm who didn't have much interest in coding as I lost interest when i used to see my friends coding day and night and got selected in google like company. Decided to go for mba , took break from job aftrr 1.5 years for cat, 9 months basically. In that period did study but also couldn't sleep at night what after mba. Researched like a hell, what are the fields, what do people do? Then zeroed down consulting and pm. But cat kharab gyi abhi socha hain, brands loonga cv pe , fir dekhte hain baad mein. Khwaish to ye bhi hain sir ki kuch khud ka kru, not for changing the world or impact but secondary income and removing fear of layoff and all...not mercy of anyone but that's fantasy. Currently working again as sde in ncr. That's a story of me, just observing the world trying to make holistic picture 😅

CFBR 😂😂 Don’t tell me you’re here too because of that. 😂

@FancyChino64

@PunyDrama38 😂😂😂 But truuuuue, we should always be objective when we try to evaluate. Anything from politics to art. Appreciate what’s good but also criticise what’s wrong.

@AstroBubbles Not going to lie, when I hear some crazy stuff. I’m like sis, I low key had so much tea. 😂😂

If not for such platform, how would we even come to know such stuff, right. Everyone doesn't know everyone, plus anonymity here, all the more freedom for people to say whatever they want to say. Love it.

@berryprod and I completely agree. Grapevine has been a complete game changer in that regard.

@pareshan Exactly. My teams has all these uncles in my team. Feel so alone man. Like yaha abhi teammates are talking about sending kids to college. Bhai abhi itni Umar nhi hui hai 😔

@Bankerbro Why? Do you think there is a geeky tech supremacy? Or maybe your crowd in real life is not tech focused so Grapevine helps balance your perspective.

Tech people are cooler for sure. I’m myself in the tech side at my company. But hope to shift to tech companies later

@akm yaha pe relatability hai I think. 😂

@Indiecrypto any specific example/instance that made you think about this?

Let's say you r giving feedback about gojek, who knows u r in gojek. Like blind atleast some authencity of official email or something needs to be done.

@FrailBlack93 I think this is the biggest use case, and not only employees but ex-employees and their friends as well, they know the craziest stories.

@1899 what do you mean by authentic answer?

When you post a question on reddit or quora it's generally ignored considering the huge number of people. Here we can get an answer from people who work in the same domain, who can understand us to some extent.

Please spill some tea here as well. 😔 @StarOnWater

@DamnItAI So, the real thing is, what makes a social network uncool is mass scale adoption. As long as there is exclusivity people love it.

mass scale adoption and incentive attracts influencers like bees

@Nanjibhai aap bhi na, chit fund se paisa mila waapis?

@SuperDumbPM This is the only right answer. 😂

😂😂😂 @Tyreburst

@AlwaysOnline I think Grapevine is much better imo. Anything you feel amiss?
