Having worked alongside him in the past, he’s one of the most genuine non bullshitter in the market who’s actually interested in giving instead of just taking ($$). All his reports (once he became a manager) grew their careers at incredible pace, and are at amazing niche places.

@Rangolibaba Where did you work with him? 

I took his course and it's absolute crap.

Software Developer

Can’t vouch for his course, so I’ll take your word for it. But I can vouch for his good intent and work quality. Worked with him at Unacademy. Unacademy had multiple long downtimes and failures on big launches, that stopped completely once he took over SRE and built it with just 3 reportees. Our costs went down 46% within 6 months, and most of these monitoring were automated by then. 2 of those 3 reportees are leads at FAANG and 1 is a manager at a growing series D startup. His convos within Unacademy were also consistent with what he talks about outside “focus on engineering depth and connect dots from across”

Who is that 1 LinkedIn profle you hate and why?

Product Manager

Rant. Chappri Interns and mid af SDEs on LinkedIn have destroyed the entire point of the platform. Every Tier 1 graduate working at Microsoft or Walmart posts their own pic in some Manali hillstation and give 400 lines of unsolicited gyaan, which virgin btech 2nd year students cant help but drool at.

I get it bro/sis, you mugged up 800 LC mediums and Microsoft came to your BITS campus and picked you up because you solved a system design question in the interview which scales infinitely for infinite users. No, i dont want to enroll is PrepCracker's System Design Cohort for just Rs 69,999 and replace Hotstar's CTO.

Folks like Arpit Bhayani and Addy Osmani are the only reason I open linkedin to actually get some ground level reality of how to be a better SWE, but all i see is bhaiyya didi telling me why my resume is not getting selected because i didnt pay Rs. 1,999 for their Topmate Resume Review session.

Due to them Twitter is full of 2nd year dimwits who think swe is the only path to liberation and their bhaiyya didi will be their guiding angel. They won't. They'll turn out just like your average 3.5lpa employee at WITCH. The only way to become a good swe is figure shit out yourself and do what you love. Its that simple. Im from a shit tier 3 college. I've cracked FAANG and that too with 42 lc solved. What DSA bro?

Thankyou to the Grapevine team for building a good platform where genuine watercooler discussions take place. Deleted LinkedIn for good until i get my sanity back.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I was in a conversation with a VC and the news is RS from Unacademy has been given an exit via secondary share sale and Sumit Jain has been replaced as a partner. 

RS will be taking an exit by the end of this year. This is confirmed news and 2 VC firms have vetted if.

Hello good people, 

What's the vibe going into the weekend? 
Let's use this space maybe for plans you have, stuff you're planning to watch or do, or just share how few people have turned up to office today. 

Also, if your manager denied your leave request 🙈

Look forward from hearing from you all :) 

Best,

Heard that the work environment is toxic and they are pivoting to a new revenue model. What's in store,

What's happening at Apna Jobs

IMO educational, insurance, investment products can drastically change one’s life for better or for worse, so much mis-selling, scamming and shitty sales tactics being done 😐

Someone ain’t scaling the right way 💁🏼‍♂️

What is the best(worst) course you have ever seen a content creator shill?

Pure bullshit takes this person's been offering since past month on LinkedIn. Amazes me how distant are VCs from real life

I am currently working as a senior  engineer at a startup (yoe 6+).

Initially things were good , but from the last few months The workplace turned toxic and all the nasty things started happening around me.
The burn out was deteriorating mental and physical health, so i lost my patience and resigned.

Making this ama , so that I can help someone who is going through the same situation.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Arpit bhayani's youtube videos and Linkedin/Twitter posts are really informative, but I was wondering if his paid system design course is really worth the price ?

For those who don't know:
Beginner course (Pre recorded)- 19,999
Masterclass (Live)- 39,999

If it's good I'll ask my employer to reimburse the course, or do you have any better course recommendations ? Please don't suggest Gaurav sen's interview ready.

Honest review of Arpit bhayani system design course?

heard the rumor today. crickpe not getting much users in world cup despite improvements like integrating entity sports which I did(now in another departement) damn.

approx 15 people fired from Third Unicorn

Inc42? Not really exclusive when the news was already on Grapevine for last one day. Atleast attribute it properly.

Man, that's why I love to be on Grapevine. Another day and another layoff.
