I mean how ? Why ?

Basically let's say if you're on remote and you are working on a large code base which was built over the years. You have been assigned something to do & you end up in a hurdle or loop. You can't seem to get it working or whatever you think it's not working. How do you proceed in this situation, given the remote environment , can't go and tap on someone's shoulder's immediately. Please share your thoughts. I'm getting stuck in this kind of situation these days and would need insights. Context; Mt exp is around 6YOE, as fullstack dev.

I switched from my previous job to my current company last year. However, since I have joined, I feel I haven’t been able to deliver what my seniors expected. And I have two major reasons: 1. Tech here is very lazy, they would modify the user stories and timelines as per their convenience 2. I can’t really resonate with company’s vision, I feel they live in their own world and far away from reality. Some of my major features have been stuck with tech for months but I don’t want to push them to deliver it because even if they do, it’ll fail in the market. I also feel embarrassed giving walkthroughs to tech because the features that I am asked to work on are mindless and mostly comes from senior management. Should I switch job or hustle more in the current company?

So basically I don't hesitate in challenging the interviewer if I feel like they don't know how to interview a senior candidate so during many interviews, this is how I have caught them off guard: 1. The interviewer was asking me technical questions and expecting to explain properly throughout. So at the end i asked him about the tech stack they use, he said Azure. I asked him why they use Azure and not AWS, to which he said "it's cheaper", i didn't let it go, i asked him for a proper technical explanation, his red face was worth seeing. 2. The interview asked me a hard DSA question, and I wasn't able to solve it properly, he didn't even give me enough hints, just expected me to solve it. So halfway I asked him, would you like to solve a DSA if I ask you right now, he said no because it's not his interview. To which I asked, are you afraid that you won't be able to solve? If you are going to reject me for not solving this question, would you resign if you aren't able to solve the question. He ended the call. 3. One interviewer was asking me absurd technical detailed questions. I asked him why are you asking such questions, he said he needs to know my thought process because he will work with me. I started asking him similar questions, he said he won't answer because it's not his interview. I said I also need to know your thought process because we'll work together, so you should also answer these questions, he had no reply. 4. The interviewer asked me about a challenging project that I had done recently. I don't like this question at all. So I said there wasn't any challenging project because I'm good at what I do so it's always easy for me. He moved on to the next question. 5. HR asked me why I resigned without an offer? I asked if it's mandatory? No reply.

I'm curious to learn if we can build a proper product using iterative development that uses the power of blockchain ( as a distributed ledger) instead of crypto bullshit. If you have practical experience, can you please share some references that can help me get started ? In particular, I have some apprehensions around how do you do bugfixes/hotfixes once you have shipped the code. That is the cornerstone of modern agile product building, but according to my understanding it'snot easy to achieve. If you have any references that can help me understand this in detail, please share.

after 4 years of experience in corporate life i came to realize that if you want to get promoted and get max visibility then don't solve any issue on your own. Which means if you find some bug/issue which might become a big issue then don't solve it silently and expect others to appreciate you for it later on, they don't know the impact of the bug, you won't get enough appreciation Present it, involve your manager, involve his manager, involve other managers. Let it become a big issue, only then you will get credit for finding the bug and also for coming up with the solution. People don't respect those who avoid bugs, but those who solve bugs. So be that person. Trust me there is no other way. I regret not following this. And for more such tips: like, share & subscribe 😉

I had this idea in mind, that many of us either want to learn something new or create our own product but we either don't have the time or consistency to learn or no time to build huge products alone. So I'm proposing this, why don't we software Engineers of all experience levels come together and build communities where if someone wants to learn SpringBoot Backend or React Frontend or whatever the stack is, they come along and start working on a product and learn along the way. To help them, experienced software Engineers come along and if they want they work on it and help the people and guide them with the best practices. In the case of experienced folks, let's say they decide on several products and we divide the teams based on the expertise and start working on them. What do we get in return? Better networking, experience and maybe a few good startups which are built by us, and they succeed at a product level. Who is this for? Anyone who wants to mentor, learn or want to build a product but they don't have people to do that. Who all are invited? Senior Engineers, Tech Leads, Engineering Managers, Product Managers, Director of Engineering, CTOs and others. Sr folks to help the community. Let's say we decide on 5 products, make a roadmap on how we want to work and within a year we release these products in the market and maybe maybe we get to work on our own company rather than from others. if not, then also good karma and networking will be done which will be helpful for this tough time ahead of us. Today's Junior engineers will be Senior engineers of tomorrow. Today's Senior engineers will be a great part of management of tomorrow. Let's build real software and change the way we learn things and do great engineering and learn a lot and earn from the products as well. Thanks 🙏🏻

So I am working at a startup for around a year now. Everyday I see, it feels, what am I really doing? Where is the life headed? Doing bare minimum or doing your tasks and fucking off isn't enough. It's expected that we outgrow constantly, as if it's this work that we can always think about and nothing else. At the end, am wondering if it's still worth it? 1 day it feels that let's just quit it! Next day I feel, okay, I do want the money. I ain't looking for suggestions here, just wanted to see if anyone else felt this way

I am fed up with people who try to steal other people’s credit. Be it your manager, your colleague or anyone how do you avoid them from taking your credit for the work you have done. Worst part is seeing them try hard to showcase it as their own. What do you all suggest for such situations?

I was working in Byjus once, it was super toxic my superiors doing questionable things Eventually I left
