That’s gonna be a game changer. I remember saying this earlier some time back when Devin AI got released. Software development is something where AI will shine, at least in assisting initially.

Whatever extra stuff he mentioned is like the least of anyone's problems. Also, AI is not incredible at writing code, it's totally shit. 
  
 I'm glad they are making this tool though, it can save like 5 minutes of my time when I start a new project! If I don't have to fix the flaws in whatever this agent generates in the first place.

It can not just write code but also set up a dev environment, install packages, configure DB, and deploy. End to end software development!- Grapevine

I have seen a number of Devops/DevRel engineers visiting tech conferences across the world and earning really good money. Being a fresher in software engineering I would like to know more about the roles and responsibilities of a Devops/Devrel engineer. Also what roadmap should I follow after software Engineering in order to become a good Devops engineer.

P.S - If any one of you is a Devops/DevRel engineer then do mention it in your reply.

What exactly is Devops/Devrel roles??

Opinion : Being at a higher level is vulnerable to Layoffs

I'm at the highest level, just did shrooms. No possibility of me being laid off because my design skills just went through the roof.

Product Owner

Software Developer

1. You are building a software that otherwise could be built by a 12 year old kid, if given proper training.
2. You cannot code if I cut off google, stackoverflow & related websites.
3. You are just concerned about producing the output quickly because a. your work is time bound, b. you want to stand out from others.
4. You attend countless meetings that carry no value, thanks to Agile.
5. 10 people write code for the same software which otherwise could have been written by 1 person.
6. You write pages of documents just because you are expected to write for the team, compliance & stuff.
7. You don’t care about non-functional requirements as nobody asked for it.
8. You are spending hours together in coding a simple thing & you are branded a hard-worker.
9. Or you don’t spend much time in coding because you impress people with tech jargons that you learnt recently. You are branded a smart-worker.
10. The code you write will be completely rewritten in next 3-4 years just to catch up with the industry trends.
11. Your only goal is to earn loads of money which otherwise could not be earned in other engineering fields. That’s one of the reasons why you are on grapevine.

Prove me wrong if you can, by commenting your opinion.

Software engineering job is highly overrated. Prove me wrong if you can.

Tell me you are a mediocre programmer/ work with mediocre programmers /an idiot without telling me you are.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

i am product manager with 6yoe and with some good brands. but lately i am wondering if this is peak and future demand of software product manager with no hands on coding experience will keep declining 

i sometime feels that either i have to learn coding (which i am learning) or else find a hard core industry like EV, renewable energy, batteries, semiconductor etc 

whats your thoughts? super curious to learn what you all feel about digital product manager?

also one question where i appreciate your feedback - I have not done MBA yet but contemplating it now to make switch industry to non software. I know this is very non traditional but would love to hear feedback

is software product manager role over?u

Guys can someone tell me what is "Developer Advocate" saw many profiles on Twitter and how are these people especially girls are able to get remote jobs even after being from Tier 2-3 colleges???

Developer Advocate

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I'm a software engineer with 2 years of experience. I feel like I don't have programming acumen and can't understand things like others. I really struggle at my job and has to give extra time even weekend to perform at my job. 
I don't understand big codebase, integration services.
I feel like quitting this job and do something else but can't gather enough courage as job is paying well and paying my education loan also.

Please suggest what should I do?
How can I become better at my job and do well without feeling humiliation daily

Not able to perform

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I have been working in Analytics since close to 3 years and been wondering what would be the best way to pivot to data science/machine learning as all the roles require atleast 3 years of hands on experience which I don't have unfortunately.....

I've done couple of mini projects on Data science but hiring managers don't seem to be impressed as they would be looking for someone with production environment exposure. 
so my question is how do you show you are competent enough w/o significant hands on experience?

No, I'm not talking about the job market. That's dog shit -- barely any vacancies, and engineers earn 25%ish more. 

However, in a world with 10x better Co-Pilots and other GenAI tools, problem identification is going to be every employee's moat. 'Tech-Enabled' Business PMs will have the brightest futures. There's already a rise in PM-led vs Eng-led startups. This will become clearer 5-10 years down the line.

Also, supply-demand is not as skewed as you think. Everyone thinks this job is easy, and hence, a bunch of folks are aspiring PMs on LinkedIn. I believe quality PMs are still rare (personally have a long way to go).

Would love to hear more. I'm young in my career and maybe naive but this is what I feel.

Unpopular Opinion: It's a great time to be a PM

That's not what am saying or pre assuming.

But the brain behind those supercomputers h100 and all, who is making LLMs train faster.

GPT 5.0 can do miracles and imagine 8.0 coupled with those 1nm GPUs.

I still believe that not 100% can be replaced but yes 60-70% roles will be redundant.

Top 10% will survive and thrive if ride the ai wave.

What do u think viners?

But this isn't the first time a tech exec has predicted the death of coding.

Jensen Huang says kids shouldn't learn to code — they should leave it up to AI

Coding will be dead soon

no, coding will be not replaced in the level of mathmatians and scientists, deep coding level.. yes it's going to replace common code that 60% of the world is doing. rest will be paid insane amount..  
  
 and also imagine how powerful one hacker would be if majority no one knew coding

Senior Consultant

"What's the difference between a programmer and a software engineer? One writes code, the other writes code that works."

Worked for a not particularly prestigious company as a developer for a few years before doing an MBA and moving into product management. Tier 1 institutes all the way through. I've been a product manager for 3 years now, in some pretty reputed companies.

At this point, I feel like the product management role is just not for me - I do not get job satisfaction out of it. The work is not particularly interesting or challenging, and talking to people all day feels like a chore. Its no fun to be creating random reports for leadership based on wherever the winds of the day blow. Plus tbh, I could be making far more money if I had remained a developer. Just cannot see myself doing this kind of work 10 years down the line.

Thinking of applying for some dev roles - it'll take some practice, but I could probably crack senior developer interviews. 

What does the community think? Is there stigma for people who ditch product roles for development roles? Are there people who even do this? Am I being realistic about this?

Tired of being a product manager, thinking of going back to development roles.

Senior Software Engineer

Saw a comment somewhere here to not do full stack development but only focus on one area and upskill in that. I assume they meant focus on frontend or backend only.

I’ve always thought full stack is more desirable than being only focused in one area. 

Curious to hear what other people think

Thoughts on full stack dev?

I love to read about tech and how startups evolved. Have spent a lot of time figuring out how the good product companies in the US got built: Google, FB, Instagram, Snap, Pinterest etc. etc. 

One thing stands out: A lot of these started out as just projects, and not a real startup. 
Instagram was just an idea to make photo filtering better. Reddit was just a project around making a cooler internet.

They set off as projects, and got some traction before becoming funded startups. Because they had devs in the founding team, who were always doing projects as side hustles. 

This wasn't the time when SDE salaries were so pumped up, they didn't want to just become good devs, they probably wanted to solve real problems. 

My takeaway: 

Maybe Engineers shouldn’t be too incentivised to just code. They should be incentivised to think business. 
Thats how FB, Google, Insta etc happened as companies.

In India, high pay endears engineers to stick to coding, do less business thinking.
That’s why we don’t see too many coders posting their side projects on X, Reddit, GV within India. Maybe there just aren’t enough. 

Have just been thinking about this. 

Open to thoughts from the community - maybe my view is limited. Would love to hear.

Why Silicon Valley became Silicon Valley, and why that will likely not happen in India

This is an actually very true. 
  
 I’ve seen developers who are very good in the stuff they do but lack the thinking from a customer / business POV. They take the PRD and convert it into code but never ever question whether this is the experience they want to provide to the end user.  
  
 Everyone needs to understand code is a way to achieve business and to achieve business , you would need to think from a business prospective. 
  
 That’s why , I always tell my juniors whenever they code , always take a step back and put yourself in the customer shoes and think what you are doing is what you want as a customer or not

Corporate Strategist

What things and technologies one should know and different aspects of the frontend to become a senior developer. Let's go with the React ecosystem.

What is the difference between a Junior and a Senior Frontend developer?

I am 20, a full stack developer. I have experience working with typescript, javascript, solidity, c ,React, Next. I have worked on 2-3 projects as a full stack developer.

 I want to work on new projects also I am not in a financially stable situation. So if any of you looking for interns, please let me know.

Please help me out, I would be grateful forever.
