Software Engineer

It's a general trajectory nowadays, 
 Personal branding -> controversial posts -> get hailed as bhaiya didi of the Indian internet -> get a role as developer advocate or any other useless role in a no-name company so your baseless salary brags never get scrutinized

Anyone annoyed by Kunal Kushwaha constantly bringing FAANG and IIT into everything. I’m a non IIT and don’t work at FAANG and it’s annoying even for me.

I don’t even follow him,  it just comes on my twitter feed.

Rant. Chappri Interns and mid af SDEs on LinkedIn have destroyed the entire point of the platform. Every Tier 1 graduate working at Microsoft or Walmart posts their own pic in some Manali hillstation and give 400 lines of unsolicited gyaan, which virgin btech 2nd year students cant help but drool at.

I get it bro/sis, you mugged up 800 LC mediums and Microsoft came to your BITS campus and picked you up because you solved a system design question in the interview which scales infinitely for infinite users. No, i dont want to enroll is PrepCracker's System Design Cohort for just Rs 69,999 and replace Hotstar's CTO.

Folks like Arpit Bhayani and Addy Osmani are the only reason I open linkedin to actually get some ground level reality of how to be a better SWE, but all i see is bhaiyya didi telling me why my resume is not getting selected because i didnt pay Rs. 1,999 for their Topmate Resume Review session.

Due to them Twitter is full of 2nd year dimwits who think swe is the only path to liberation and their bhaiyya didi will be their guiding angel. They won't. They'll turn out just like your average 3.5lpa employee at WITCH. The only way to become a good swe is figure shit out yourself and do what you love. Its that simple. Im from a shit tier 3 college. I've cracked FAANG and that too with 42 lc solved. What DSA bro?

Thankyou to the Grapevine team for building a good platform where genuine watercooler discussions take place. Deleted LinkedIn for good until i get my sanity back.

My nephew tells me about all these FAANG bhaiyya and didi thing and it makes me really wonder whether it is a good thing for the tech culture in India. 

Like providing content is fine but with every second kid launching a DSA boot camp or Product Topmate link is probably shilling to gullible students.

Any idea?

What’s up with FAANG bhaiyya didi culture?

Looking at so many layoffs at Google, Cloudflare and FAANG-type comoanies; that too in spite of having profitable quarters makes me think of FAANG is a curse instead of blessing?
Anyone with similar thoughts?

Whats wrong with Kunal Shah ?

Analyst

Why tf does he have to pick a fight out of everything and make everything a lafda - off late he's been doing this too much.

Theek hai bhai, start another new thing before fixing existing businesses. Bring in nationalism into everything. Ather toh Made in India hai bhai and yes, they've built a 10x better machine compared to your toy.

Ban jao bhai desh bhakt - congrats on succesfully doing lafda everywhere :)

Saw this tweet in the morning, got so fucking annoyed that put in all the effort to find the marketing spends of Ola Electric from their IPO filings

So obviously I prepared for jee, joined coaching etc and didn't perform well in jee adv but was able to get a decent new Delhi college (one of those popular ones). The middle months after jee and before college started were a bit sad, but I was able to fit in well in my first year itself. Few of my classmates from school/coaching got into iits but I lost touch with them, but I remember they were humble and normal when I studied with them. But in my college years, when I attended fests or met with any iit peeps in some competitions or stuff, there was always a strong ego vibe coming from them, even when I met up with a coaching classmate who was humble in the beginning, was totally changed after being in iit. And like, I can understand having some ego if you've achieved something materialistic like getting a big job. But why do the ones who have achieved literally nothing in iits also have so much ego?? For nothing literally. I've never met a humble iit student who has  not mentioned 'iit' in every second sentence.

Mostly referring to btechs here, cuz the mtechs/PhDs still feel fine and welcoming.
I fr thought all these feelings might be because of some inner dissatisfaction that I didn't get into iit. But even after passing out college, getting a good job and seeing things from a neutral perspective,they still feel the same.
