How do programmers Flex?

From past few weeks we have seen several posts on the app about how PM are ‘shyt’ they don’t contribute anything and they should know how to code they don’t know technical stuff etc. So, my request to all the Techies here please suggest me how do I show the recruiters/hiring managers/my engg team that I know how to code and understand tech. I seriously want to learn all these stuff but how to show any tangible evidence that I know how stuff works and is built, as my day job I won’t be able to code as I am a PM but let me know what I can do on side one or two hours every day and maybe at the end of six months I am able to show that I have done something that is an evidence that I know tech.

I have a job interview coming up and want to get everything right this time. Would appreciate any suggestions. I usually start by telling where I've done my college from and then talk about the work I've done at my current firm. Anything more that I should add?

Interesting thread from previous post on If candidate be asked un realistic problems in the interview How do handle 100k RPS/s scale? I believe such questions just to test if candidate can think and apply certain software engineering design principles at hand. Understand approach how do they handle corner cases ( if they can identify) technical depth, also good way to test fundamentals. For eg https://www.morling.dev/blog/one-billion-row-challenge/ https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc Such problems really pushes candidates to thier limits. I love to go deep in OS & database, distributed systems. Would love to see, discuss what interesting tough engineering problems you folks ask in interviews? #tech #softwareengineering

Hi Grapevine, I'm Arnav, Director of Engg at Jio Cinema. I previously exited my startup to Scaler. Some of you may know me from ScalerPod. I've also led engineering teams at Zomato & Target. Here to chat with you about my journey in startups, leading engineering teams, and products at scale, among other things. Ask me your question. I'll be back at 8 pm and begin answering!

Why AMA?- New to GV. I see potential here; trying to gauge audience and perhaps I can talk about a thing or two; can definitely learn from ya’al otherwise. Primer Qs (from some successful AMAs outside of GV)- What tech has better future? Is Ai going to kill our jobs? How to increase Tc 5x, 10x, 20x+? Startups vs big corps? Background, Tc stuff- Decade+ yoe Started with <10Lpa. Crossed >10Lpm. Life is fun and no amount of money is enough. I’ve seen it firsthand that the investments and luxuries grow at far bigger rate than your comp, Can’t complain though.

As you can guess, i joined as a front end developer in a startup last month. I have got no degree whatsoever. I am great at coding. I have done 700 leetcode questions (in JS😅). I intend to have a package of 20LPA next year. Maybe less. What should i do to maximize my pay scale while having little time for myself. I don't want to go insane in pursuing it. To all the high earners,please give me advice. PS-: I also want to join atlassian some day. REMOTE

Recently, I was talking with one of my friend who shared this interesting thing with me. He has seen few of his juniors(from CS background ) struggling to clear campus placement tests. Majority of them fail during the coding round and a few in aptitude. Cheating is quite common during campus placements is what he shared. He has also seen non CS/ECE/IT background folks pulling some tricks during this time and are somehow able to clear the test. No idea how they do it without getting caught. But the biggest question I had was, how are CS folks not aware of such thing? and what are those tricks/methods/art they let's you do it so smoothly???

I work in a small startup, we have 10 people in Frontend Team. 2 SDE-2, rest all SDE-1. I joined as Sde-1, when I joined them, we were 4(2 SDE-2 and 2 SDE-1). At the time of joining, they had a messy codebase, nobody cared about writing good, optimized code etc. Whenever I got chance to work on old feature, I used to re-write entire code from scratch, made reusable functions, components and moved common functionalities there, all these made the UI better, platform stable. Worked on optimization and performance. These folks never cared about all these things. Also started peer reviewing everyone's PRs, explained them various design patterns and made them write re-usable components, optimized, bug-free code and other things. Now I came to know, all these efforts of my mine never reached my manager to due manipulation by one of the SDE-2. My manager likes this guy and allowed him to handle the FE team. This guy has shown that he's the one who took all these initiative and he got all these things done by the team. He involved the other SDE-2 in this game. Fast forward 1 year, I see most of my code has been slightly modified by him, moved to new file and my actual file is deleted. He has done this in order to remove my GitHub history. I'm now getting frustrated and don't know how to handle this. Resigning is not an option and raising with manager won't help as he's slightly biased and won't believe me. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

Hello everyone, We started a project to help the urban population to access real-time important notifications to make smart decisions each day and........ (something the world can't ignore it, but learn.) Imagine this, you have access to FM radio, just as a police officer, all time in your hand and you could say anything to the entire Bangalore but only people, whom that information is relevant, will hear you instantly. Now, imagine everyone has the same superpower of FM radio. And, FM radio and system has ethic code doesn't let you share bad/harmful/hurtful.... All relevant information in sync with all people in the city. Sorry, this is all I could share for now, There are more on other aspects delivering great uses but I can't. Now, throw me some questions about this. Is this a want or need? - Finding a single room @5K in HSR layout. Or, vehicles are towed from regular road side parking space😅. Or, searching for a CTO around🤗. (if everyone willing to join as CTO will get notified instantly from this single post on grapevine, it would be magic, right?)🤯 I will check my Gmail [email protected]📥 hoping to find some unconventional passion, commitment for doing the impossible, and funny as I am bored with employee/boys talk. (100% excited, enthusiastic when it comes to ideas, Strategies, team management, caring, development, marketing, inspiration, and building.) BTW, hiring is on for major roles. The current tech lead is a good person, smart, intelligent just not enough experienced for fast paced delivery and he agreed for it.
