This is what happens when kids don't get bullied in school. When I was 12 my biggest concern was to not miss the newest bayblade episode...

My God. Dude should wait till 12 to learn the new age stuff. Not burden up with things now.

Sadly this is what the world has come to. Education scene itself is grim and what could be expected from coming generation with AI in play… Can’t imagine

Software Engineer

When I was a kid I used to play ‘Discovery’ with my best bud at school. Founded a massive empire of kabaad which we used to hide in a secluded spot. The empire split when we got separated by class sections. And years of friendship fell apart at the time of batwaara 😆

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

The storm is not AI.  
 It's the uncountable number of fresh graduates standing behind you to do the same job.  
 But due to AI and online resources the gap between you and them is very small. 
  
 And companies have realised that they can always cull the herd and still an infinite number of near qualified people are ready to step in. 
  
 And it will slowly spiral to the bottom.

Ever wondered how many love stories orgs have killed? Right at the start, in the middle, intentionally adding to the cold start or making the friction more pronounced. Think about it: corporate policies, unwritten rules, and so to say "culture" might have ended more love stories (and still is) than we care to acknowledge.

Imagine two colleagues who hit it off -only to be told that their relationship violates some archaic HR policy. Or worse, they keep it hidden, living in constant fear of discovery. Why? Because the org demands a separation of personal and professional lives that’s unnatural and really there's no switch to human connection. How do it fucking turn it off?

I mean you spend more than half your day at the work place right? falling for someone out there - Happens. Then, wouldn't it get to you that you have to say something but cant say, have to wait, but cant wait, and the distractions and more. I have seen most sides I guess - exceptional performers getting together, one high one low getting along - good outcomes, I have seen public spats too - really ugly ones. I have seen folks in depression. I have seen the founders being shaky with the gossip and more..

So you got to ask:
- Does this really add to morale? who really wins here?
- Does it take you away from your goal?
- Why are folks so divided on this topic?
- Is it about control or culture or someones belief system coming in the way?
- What’s the real impact on employee retention?
- Do we really trust our employees enough?
- Can we redefine professionalism?
and What if we embraced love stories? 

Moral policing is not the answer. Neither is we dont know what they would do next - no one in the right mind is so horny that they bang right on the office floor (at least I would like to believe that) ... So.. is our insecurities too high, our principles too shaky, or we just like to be really really convenient. 

Your take please.

Recently I went through a post on Reddit where a woman(Indian) had asked for opinions of how people of the sub(the sub is dominated by westerners) perceived Indians.

Apparently the common answer from women for Indian men was: they are unhygienic, stink a lot, super desperate and were the majority of the population in blind dating scenarios. So essentially non-datable.

The common answer from men for Indian Woman was: overly ambitious, obnoxious, highly opinionated to the extent any deviations from their thought process was not perceived well by them. Not non-datable but not preferred either. 

Of course, the answers will be highly skewed considering a very limited audience but just the commonality in a lot of comments caught my attention.

People who have been abroad or have regularly interacted with a lot of foreigners, has this been the experience?

We always aim to get into the best colleges of our country and dream to be the future leaders of large organisations.

But I have realised one thing, no amount of top tier education guarantees professional behaviour and a good team building culture.
