Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

1) Which tech books are you currently reading. Also how do you guys manage your time among office work, personal learnings, social life, etc. It feels pretty darn hard to do so.

2) I'm a fresher working in deployment infra area i.e k8s & stuff. Any books you find interesting in this side of the things? Pls share them.

Ps: Feel free to answer only the first question which is generic in nature to help everyone reading this. But if you can spare some time, then would appreciate the answers for 2nd also.

Ask those influncers whats will you do with your life after FIRE. Assuming target completed at 35yrs of age then what? And even after that what will you do with the money. Keep in bank or stocks to be passed on to "no one" after you or just maybe taken up by banks and govt and home taken up by land encrochers. Life is not at end after FIRE. FI is good so you can protect your family but when you "killed" your family tree itself to achieve FIRE what did you acheive ,for whom, for what? Good for show offs maybe but internet fame is limited till there only no one is there for you on ground. Empty  4 walled rooms being cat/dog "moms" all have been already experimented in west and now being tried to replicate here. 
They want us to stay poor by selling us the lifestyle they are living though the money they got by selling the courses. The logic they applied maybe worked at that time but does it guarantee the same logic will work in next 10 yrs and if thats true why not they themself buy all those assets with all that money  will get 100 bagger in next 10 yrs themselves.
I can continue the same with their rent vs buying home logic but maybe keep it up for another day.

Finfluencers and their fuc*ed up logics

Just wanted to check people’s views on books via audibles. I somehow feel that I retain less of the books that I heard vs read. You may retain the stories broadly but not so much the critical words or phrases.

Audible vs Physical Books

Been reading everyone’s resolutions about reading 1 book/month. Honestly, I have never been to reading. Need something light to start with. The most i’ve read is manga/manhwa till date. something small to start with. more of a binge watcher.

started A man called Ove 2 years back, gave up after 10 pages.

haven’t read any chetan bhagat either.

What books should i start with?

Software Project Manager

I had a big argument with my girlfriend yesterday evening. We were at a club with our friend group. I got super drunk because of work pressure. I only did it to relax.

I went to the washroom to pee and when I came back I saw my gf standing with her back towards me. I was super drunk and I cuddled her from behind.

Big mistake. It was not my girlfriend but her friend. I got confused because both were wearing similar dresses and it was a little dark. Also they have similar physique. 

My girlfriend threw her drink on me and started walking out of the club.

I tried to explain that they had similar outfits but she said that she is wearing mauve while her friend was wearing purple. It was so dark and I couldn't understand the colour difference, both looked purple to me.

She left after fighting. I apologized to her friend and she is okay with it.

but my gf is saying that she hates me and has blocked me on whatsapp. What should i do?

Girlfriend left me after fighting. what to do?

"Mauve Mauve" is the new Moye Moye. 🌚 
  
 Sorry couldn't help.

Just read the book. Found it very intriguing and well summed up. Here’s summary of my notes re-written with some external help :)

1. Never Ignore Your Fitness: Emphasizes the importance of regular exercise and maintaining physical health as a foundation for overall well-being and success.

2. Master Your Emotions: Encourages emotional control and resilience, highlighting that many of life's biggest mistakes happen due to uncontrolled emotions.

3. No Cheap Dopamine: Advises against indulging in instant gratification activities like excessive social media use or other distractions that provide temporary pleasure but no long-term benefits.

4. Be the Cockroach: Advocates for adaptability and resilience, using the cockroach as a metaphor for survival and success in changing environments.

5. Master Simple English: Stresses the importance of clear and effective communication, particularly in English, to succeed in a globalized world.

6. Network Relentlessly: Highlights the importance of building and maintaining a broad network of connections, as not every connection will pay off, but having many increases the chances of success.

7. Be a Good Person, but Not a Doormat: Encourages kindness and integrity while also advising against letting others take advantage of you.

8. Eat an Elephant: Suggests breaking down large tasks into smaller, manageable steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed and to make consistent progress.

9. Focus on What You Can Control: Advises concentrating on areas where you can make a difference and not wasting energy on things beyond your control.

10. Learn from Mistakes: Emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and learning from one's mistakes as a critical component of personal growth and success.

11. Live in the Present: Encourages mindfulness and living in the moment rather than being overly concerned about the past or future.
These rules are designed to help readers improve their lives by focusing on fitness, emotional control, adaptability, effective communication, networking, kindness, task management, control, learning from mistakes, and mindfulness.

Started my first relationship with a girl 2 weeks ago.  Requesting people to share wisdom on how to proceed. We went on a date today, it was great and we talk daily before sleeping. Consider me a noob.

Markets are shifty
Grab a whiskey
Avoid the risky

Let me start by listing mine
1. Get into shape 💪 - I’ve set a target weight for myself, and a target muscle mass and body fat percentage 
2. One book a month 📕 - This is something I’ve tried over and over but never seemed to achieve.
3. Delve deeper into devops 🔄
4. Complete a few side projects I’ve had in my backlog for months
5. Quit smoking 🚭

What are yours?

Grapeviners, what are your goals for 2024?

I have only one goal for 2024. 
  
 No. More. Procrastination.  
  
 It has ruined my life enough already. 🙄
