My goal, for the foreseeable future, is to become the OG engineer, to be able to build anything in a weekend that my brain ideates

What's the most efficient way to learn new stuff? I wanna start implementing all these project ideas I get, but all these ideas are of such diverse tech domains. I wanna learn GenAI, IOT, blockchain, ML and also how to make drones, but things keep pooping up and finally jab thoda sa time milta hai toh college exams hit. 
So what's the trick to learn new cool interesting shit as fast as possible. Mastering all these domains won't be possible I know, I just wanna get enough knowledge to be able to make stuff

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hey Everyone,

I am a 3YoE backend developer with little AI role and web development experience in the industry and I wanted to grow my career as more like an ✨Elite Engineer✨ who not just builds stuff but optimizes it to the core, oversees the future bottlenecks, the alternative approaches blah blah and you get the point. But the problem is that my learning is all over places. Please suggest/ guide you to be that ✨Elite Engineer✨ if you can. I want to continue to be a backend engineer (no more switching domain)

Disclaimer: I don’t want to do it because of the money (of course I need a future) but to have a solid understanding of it (it would be great if I end up as SDE)

Elite Devs, plz help!?🙂

How do you guys learn some new tech stack in less time, and how you all are being consistent to doing it 
I'm in my 3rd year of btech, but haven't done any tech stack in advance level,I only know basics of it.
Guide me to prepare for my internship, or projects to do and learn technologies faster.

Consistency is the question...

Hey fellow SWE. I am a fresher in tech and would love to know about how you people deal with imposter syndrome. Every software engineer has to go through their career journey. When u will be assigned some work that u have no idea about how to implement. And your manager will be on your ass to ask you for an ETA. How do you all deal with such discomforting feelings?

I am to move into an ML platform engineering team a few months down the line.  Most job opportunities for an ML platform engineer mentions strong knowledge of kubernetes, Kubeflow/ML flow, API design and deployment along with coding language(usually Java, python or Go). 
Are there any must read resources which could help me while upskilling for this role? I already have access to O'Reilly and have read and practiced most of the exercises on Kubernetes.

Now days, every month some new technology is coming up. How do you find out time to keep yourself updated?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I work at an early stage B2B fintech startup as a lead engineer and very often have to wear a product hat. Revenue is our most important business metric and user adoption is our most important product KPI.

(a) I've been struggling to identify new features to build that will enhance our product and lead to a lift in revenue.

(b) Even when a problem is served on a platter by our B2B clients, I'm struggling to identify the best way to build a feature to solve that problem in a way that's coherent with our existing product.

(c) I am okayish at designing delightful user experiences but want to do way better here for our B2B clients' users.

I'm willing to work very hard and improve in these aspects (I've done that before and achieved great success in other domains). What would you recommend I do? What should I learn? How should I approach this journey?

Early stage B2B product management

I am currently in my third year studying computer science and I am confused about what to do next. Here are some quick points about my profile:

- Strong GitHub profile
- Part of Google's summer of code 2023
- Built some interesting projects (tech stack: typescript, postgres, redis)
- I have studied a fair bit of High Level Design (System Design)
- I have a decent leetcode profile (500 questions mostly medium and Hard) (1800 contest rating)
- I also have strong CS fundamentals (DBMS, oop, CN)

I am currently getting interviews from startups but they want 6 month interns and I cannot do such a long internship right now with college. I am only available for a 2 month summer intern (which most startups don't want). I am from a Tier 2 college and we do have some good companies come for placements but I'm not sure about the scenario for next year.

Any tips or advice on what I should focus on? how I should prepare? what kind of companies I should target? 

Your experience and insights will be of tremendous help for me

Advice for a third year engineering student

Hey everyone, excited to be doing this AMA!

A brief about me, I work currently as a Director of Product at an Indian unicorn startup 

About my career: 
- Did my undergrad from IIT and then masters from an Ivy league school
- Have been in product for almost 10 years now - across 2 Indian unicorn startups and a publicly listed company

Would love to take questions on what it means to be a PM, growing within the role, building your career, and other things :)

Name few things which one can do during his 2-3 years in engineering and also prepare for job placements

What can one do during engineering to get spikes in these areas

First year college student enrolled in a Computer Science & Engineering (Data Science) degree in a Tier 2 college.

Talked to a few engineers living in my PG. They said to learn Java and DSA 'cause they are evergreen fields.

Python is being taught in college since it is used more in data science.

What would you suggest?

What techstack should I learn?

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I have close to 6 years of experience as a data scientist- all hands on role. I lead workstreams & small sub teams. From here, how do I upgrade myself to a more leadership position in data science roles?

Most of my experience lies in traditional ML using python with a concentration in Pharma/Healthcare Industry.

What kind of skills should I pick up? And what kind of companies/roles I should aim for?

PS: I also completed my MBA recently.

How do I reach a leadership position in data science?

Data Scientist

I am an engineer, what I enjoy is solving technically challenging problems. I don't really want to spend my time bothering with non-code solutions to your business problem, and I don't care how much money my code makes you. Just have a tech lead give me a challenging tech problem to solve or build for(WITH the necessary requirements) and I'll get it done. Simple. 


Personally I'm saddened to see how chasing impact has taken over all good tech companies, and how you basically HAVE to create value and take ownership in other ways if you want to be SDE-3 or higher. I would rather be a more technically competent, deliverer SDE (think someone who's extremely good at being an SDE-1). Climbing the SDE ladder is boring.

Any other engineers find it boring and frustrating to chase impact?

To be fair, companies are paying you to earn money, not solve tech 
  
 You have to find things to simplify and innovate in that impact only

Hey everyone!!

I wanted to know how do you guys plan for the next 5-10 years of your career?  How do you decide what you want and what steps do you take towards it?

Please help out a fellow lost but ambitious techie...

How to plan for the future?

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.
