It’s like finding problem for a solution

It’s like finding problem for a solution- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Is there any significant real world use case of Blockchain?
Apart from being a investment instrument that randomly goes up and down.

I think it may have some very very niche use cases, but not like what crypto marketing kids keep shouting. Trying to shove it everywhere.

It's been so long but still we haven't seen any real public product built with it, that does some real problem. Apart from all the scams.

I stil think it is a solution searching for a problem.


P.S.- I have written smart contract and other tech for NFT companies that made a ton of money during last bull run, so I know the ecosystem a bit.

What problem does Web3 solve?

Hey folks, i m a wannabe be entrepreneur. My reasons are simple I like problem solving and I want to create a secondary source of income. How do you find those problems? I feel you guys stumble upon problem statements through your own experiences. Ohh and one more thing, if there are any solopreneurs here on grapevine, let me know your thoughts as well as your journey too. Cheers :)

For the startup founders

1) You develop a feature, covers every case where it can go wrong. Dry run 2-3 times. Then comes the day of UAT meeting. You are displaying feature in front of all stake holders and the feature breaks. 

2) You are trying to solve a bug. You tried every way there is which you can think off. You are scratching your head, figuring out why ? Now you finally decide you need big guns, ask colleagues/seniors for help and you explain them the issue and you also explain them the solution which you were trying. Now magically issue is solved or you atleast understand what was wrong and why it was not working. 

What phenomena is this ? Does this only exist to make you look stupid ? How ? Why ? There got to be some explanation for this.

I mean how ? Why ?

PM of 5 years. Same place the whole time. We have a new Engineering Manager. 

They started 2 months ago and at first they seemed like they were very happy to learn our process and products. Then they soon started to manipulate the Engineering team which was very cooperative earlier.

It’s incredibly demotivating. We are a small startup, and the culture isn’t great but seriously no need to be so dismissive of other people’s efforts and feelings. They are just fucking rude. No other word for it really. The problem is that they do NOT get the product side of things so you can’t explain anything to them. They start to physically roll their eyes when you go anymore product than the word “PRD”.

I have never had to deal with someone like this and it’s really stressing me out as they are involved in effectively every project I work on. Advice that isn’t “quit” will be appreciated.

I should also clarify that when I say “product limitations” I really mean how much effort goes into getting things right, the delays are shearing the roadmap apart.

why do Software Engineers act so rude? How to solve this in my team?

As a Product Manager, why do Software Engineers act so rude?

What did it take to get to that point? I'm reasonably comfortable with mediums but hard problems feel like a few notches above in difficulty. Should I find the equivalent rating of mediums on codeforces and work from there? Or is it better to keep reading LC hard solutions until something clicks?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Want to build a AI startup. Finding it impossible as 
1) Incumbents with distribution and data will easily build AI to their products
2) I don’t have PhD to build something truly innovative.
3) For consumer space, I don’t think it’s possible to build a new device or a OS etc (Incumbents again!)

I seriously wonder how startup founders start something! Do they just BS VCs about nice ideas and raise money? Any tips *from actual founders*  will be useful

Can’t think of good startup ideas!

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

This has been happening for quite sometime - I have posts/reels 🧾 on LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Chrome bookmarks 📌 with the hope of going thru them sometime. 
However, next day new content comes, save them again, and never open them. The cycle repeats 🔃.

Does this happen to many?? 🤔
Has anyone found a solution to this? 🤔

Content overload 🧾 - Do you also save links in bookmarks to never read them?

"Interviews are hard in that they have absolutely nothing to do with your day-to-day job. If I were to go through the interviews again right now I'd make a massive fool of myself. 

I'd say it's basically common knowledge that prior to making any hops, you've got to take at least a month or two to grind leetcode problems so that you're back in that head space where you can solve pointless problems with high efficiency.

Interviews are also hard because, if you end up with the personality type which views interviews as a chance to show how much more clever they are than everyone, then you've already failed. Their ego is tied to their "high bar" and impossible question set, and you're just fodder for them to show off that "high personal bar" during the de-brief."

A lot of FAANG engineers seem to report that the interview was the hardest thing... | Hacker News

You just need to be obsessed about solving problems

I was recently scrolling through linkedin as a regular day to find 
my daily dose of  depression

And Suddenly I saw a profile of x Person who started his engineering in July 2023 has 500+ LC Problems solved a CI/CD pipeline set up project and What not

I was so shocked to see at what level the competition has raised a first year guy who has just entered the stream has started all this 
I am a graduate and barely knew all this back then 

This X person has 4 starts in CodeChef and Some ratings in CF

If this person and I are competing for the same job 
I felt I will be trashed to bins 

And I see the Leetcode guys 500 Solved Rating this that just in 1st and 2nd year of college

I was terrified and impressed at the same time 

Are these next generation too impulsive to over skill them for a job ? 

What are your thoughts?

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

Been there, but money is very important especially for a middle class family, for most of us we are earning 5x more than our parents at least and have huge expectations from families to provide them with good life

Constructive discussions play a crucial role in problem-solving and understanding one another. Listening actively to someone’s thoughts and concerns allows us to empathize, offer support, and find solutions together. When we create an open and respectful space for dialogue, we can address challenges more effectively and build stronger connections. 😊
Happy to hear you out !!

Systems Architect

Any DSA solvers?
First time solving DSA and preparing myself to switch to better product based companies for higher package.
My question is: When I solve LeetCode, I am able to understand the question, come up with initial approach too but without looking into solution or explanation I am unable to solve it completely!😢
while watching a Youtube videos I am perfectly able to understand and solve the problem but when I solve a problem alone(without any resource) or live solve in mock interviews, I am stuck..

Anyone's gone thru the same phase, how to uplift myself from here?
TIA

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I felt like doing this AMA since, recently, students and experienced folks are being lured by 'paid' open-source courses. Feel free to ask any questions without paying any $$$. I won't respond to questions which could potentially dox me though.

P.S. I know the post title is cringy, but I couldn't think of anything better ATM.
