There are some people on grapevine like @qwerty2398 who i agree with 40-50% of times lol. Nevertheless, mostly decent and fun interactions in good spirit.

Have a few people like that IRL too. What about you?

Who is someone you mostly disagree with, but still like talking to/interacting with?

What would you do if you realise it’s your last life ?

Project Manager

I’m a very private person and I was a bit confused whether I should write here or not, but anyway.

So, day before yesterday I was sitting on my chair after dinner and was thinking about my life and what the hell am I doing.

I realised that,
Saala bachpan se aaj tak race me hi bhaag raha hun. Pehle school me 1st, 2nd, 3rd aane ki race me. Then acche college milne ki race me. Then uske baad acchi job milne ki race me. Then uske baad agar ladki chahiye toh uske liye bhi ek race hai (Don’t have a gf, plz don’t take me wrong, it was a realisation)

My current daily routine is like this:
Wakeup everyday, write code, go gym, dinner, and then sleep and repeat this cycle everyday.

School ke dost peeche chhoot gaye, college ke dost apni life me busy ho gaye, colleagues se main zyada baat nhi karta and main akela padh gaya.

Feels like life is not intriguing anymore, it has no spark left. Its so painful to live everyday.

I feel like I don’t want to live any more, I want to die but I can’t cuz of 2 reasons.
1. I’m the only son of my parents.
2. If I die like this, then I won’t be able to come out from the birth cycle.

That’s it
🙏🏼

Bhai kaafi same lag raha hai. 
 Idk kaha rehte ho tum, kitna kamate ho, wagerah but ek baat bolunga - start walking. Kabhi main street pe walk lagao, kabhi subah, kabhi kahin. Hum Jo ek jagah baithke sochte hai, vo chalte chalte bhi soch hi sakte lekin kaafi nayi cheezein dekhne milegi. Kuch aisa milega Jo vapas layega interest, I hope aisa ho

What happens if complete family dies together?

I have a lot of single friends - some girls and guys. Been thinking about throwing a party to get people to meet. Any ideas to make it interesting? Also, how to ensure the folks that get invited are somewhat relevant / relatable to the others - e.g. would inviting 22 year olds and 38 year olds in the same party be a bad idea? if you are one of the invitees what would you expect and would you be willing to split the bill of the party?

Would love to learn about people who make a real difference in this podcast + publicity bubble

Who do you look up to in your Domain?

Data Scientist

you don't want to change your current life with someone, you look to or aspire to. Huh.....what?  Assumption: Given the chance to exchange life with anyone in the world.

Why would you still choose yourself? 
Or you will exchange with someone? Who and Why?  

Interesting thought, right? Please think for a while, introspect wisely. 

(Personally, I look to and aspire a few but I cannot/won't  exchange with anyone. WTF is wrong with me with my miserable life. Trust me, I have a miserable life, enough to have rice daily, and already failed at what I always wanted to be since sixth grade. Now, I am just trying to do what I am good at and struggling with, frustrating on a daily basis.)

Aren't you the most happy person if;

Solution Architect

I worked at an early stage startup with really toxic culture and left my job because of that, now it's been one month I just wake up eat and sleep and feel like doing nothing, Although I know at some point I have to resume back but when ever I sit back to document my work prepare my portfolio I just feel no motivation to do so, Is something wrong with me?? Has anyone faced something like this before? How did you come out of it?

Feel like doing nothing

Product Designer

Hey, I am in a great dilemma recently and needed some advice. I am entering the corporate world from college and moving to Bangalore and now look for a flat but greater decision is to find perfect flatmates.

I have been living with my college friends and feel that i don't want to live with them anymore because of what i have faced with them. I feel like they haven't yet come out of college and their life is quite monotonous, waking up -> going to office-> coming back -> watching movies or IPL and then gossiping till bed time. And of course Friday Saturday mandatory alcohol.

I am good friends with them and want them to be by my side but what I want more is that I have flatmates whom i can learn from, with whom i can discuss ideas and with whom i can build something. But how do i find these people? What should i do so that i get in a company where 5 people around me take me higher in life. Need some guidance. Anybody?

PS- Obv I care about my friends and in my opinion wherever i live, i can go back to them whenever i want.

Would love to have an open discussion with an enthusiast!!
Please comment here or reach out to me at codenerdai@gmail.com

Any backend engineer here who has worked on an app used by millions at scale?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I work at a small startup that was acquired by a large corporate, primarily via high level contacts of the founders rather than technical due diligence. Founders and employees cash out big FAANG-level payslips without bothering about any actual work or revenue.

Being in my late 20s, I believe that our energetic youth should be spent on doing something that we are proud of, when we look back on our younger days. Imagine yourself in your 60s, and your grandchildren look up to and ask you about your life. I would definitely get depressed if I had to tell them that I did nothing of significance, just collected my salary.

In this context, I have been telling a few of my close colleagues how we can learn specific tech stacks which are in demand, in interesting domains that we can shift to, if applying to other companies. However, recently I came to know that some of these colleagues have shared screenshots of my conversations with management and claimed that I am violating company policy by apparently encouraging people to apply elsewhere.

Didn't see it playing out like this, so it's a shocker for me. Going forward, what would you suggest? Keep my mouth shut and be company policy-wise correct with people to avoid such backstabbers? Or should I continue to be honest and just change company myself?

Honest advice or political correctness?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

DINKs, (dual income no kids) have been gaining traction a lot lately. I want to know from the members of gravevine, what are their views on being a DINK couple or a DINKWAD( double income no kids with a dog). From financial prospects like having a huge disposable income to emotional aspects like not having a legacy or going against custom Indian tradition. Do share your thoughts 🤔💭

What are your thoughts about being DINKS?

We are a DINK couple (live-in, will get married soon) and absolutely no plans to have kids. Maybe be a DINKWAD someday by adopting an indie. Also no plans to buy a home or spend on our marriage. This is not a financial decision (both of us are doing decently well in our careers) but we don't want to have a child knowing how nothing around is improving and we don't want to sacrifice the best years of our lives by doing this. We are building a large corpus to be financially independent and travel without any financial restrictions.
