I will go first, it doesn't matter if you really work hard on a project, in the end only result matter, no matter how much efforts you made for it

Lesson you have learned from Corporate

Software Engineer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have been wfh for than a year now, my parents would keep ordering me to do small household work even when I’m working. I have asked them not to do that as it distracts me, but they will not simply listen and even scold me and compare me with others that they help their parents 😅

I have thought about just going to a different city and wfh from there but my parents are also getting old so have to think about that also.

People who are WFH, how do you stay focused in work when your family members / parents keep distracting you?

I distract myself scrolling reels, who else can distract me 😭

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Just moved from a WFH startup to a Full WFO legacy corporate company.

These corpo people talk so much, too much restrictions to get access or to create a MVP, a lot of unnecessary paperwork/ email loops.

I feel sleepy all day and these people find and make you speak hell lot making me confused and feeling that I have done no work and what will I say about deliverables 🥲.


Side note: renovation going on so not getting any corner + the setting are like this getting it is difficult 😭

Any suggestions or I am over reacting 😄

How to overcome the Laziness and Focus on the work

So thing is  In last 1 week my manager/project lead has been threating that you will have to work on weekend if you dont complete your task by friday and put the the task to testing.

And this boils my blood soo damnn much . But as a person who is on lowest level i cant do/say shit. I just disagree with him and dont argue.
What would you have done .[ practical advice only]

And thing is i do all my dev work on time even earlier almost everytime and he just goes around and threatens everyone with this. Soo annoying thay dumbfk needs to get rekt .

Work on weekend?!! Advice needed

Data engineer

This advice was given to me by someone who has worked for 20+ years in IT.

"The reward for work done is always more work."

So always manage you time properly here. If you keep working hard then you will be exploited by your manager. He will always take credit for your work. You will do the work but it will be presented by a dumb senior to the client.

So your strategy should be:
Always complete your work on the weekend. Then every day you need to reveal work done slowly. Monday to Friday. This way you will chill during the entire week. People will think you do work but in reality you are coasting and chilling.

Use this time to upskill and interview for other companies. Then get out of IT and go to a Product company.

If you are from WITCH or any IT company then this strategy will make you successful in life...

As the title says. 

I have tried many methods of dealing with procrastination to code, there is always a constant fear of not being consistent, plus programming doesn't come easy to me or rather I don't have the grit to do it. I have seen other college mates grinding their ass off to DSA, how do I go past the stage of fear of feeling dumb and procrastination? Anytime I try to sit to do anything I immediately get this wave of overwhelming anxiety, I then start scrolling on my phone to get rid of the feeling. I can't even sit properly on a chair for long - yeah call me COVID kid or something but this has been the case for years. I only manage to do work/study at the very last moment but programming isn't like that, it takes consistent efforts. Are there any methods to achieve it?

P.S. hard scolding or stern answers are also welcomed, really want to improve myself.

So I might get some hate for this. I know this is weakness and the feedback I've gotten is toughen up. But I've never known how.
 Is there anyone else whose body and mind had accepted that they're not going to amount to anything but fought their way through it? Can you tell me your story? Or give me any book suggestions?

I shut down under pressure

My advice is simple. Spite. Hate the situation so much that you come out of that, or conquer it with pure spite. The Hatred of ever being found in such a situation will propel you towards success.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Here’s mine,
Care deeply about any work that you touch, give your best and more.

The effort really shows, especially when you can solve something better than what they hoped for.

[Thread] Grapeviners 🍇? Drop one lesson from your learnings at work.

Contradictory to your lesson… I learned not to get too attached to your code. Bcoz it might just get scraped.

I work at an early stage startup, and I just can't get work done at the office with all the distractions. I always end up coming back home and getting back to work again to meet the deadlines. I really want to get most of the work done at the office so that I can avoid working at home as well. 

Are there any tips to increase productivity and actually get the most shit done at the office? I really need help 😭

Low productivity at the office

Frontend Intern

They have no life
They have nowhere to go
They have no one to be with
They have no passions outside work either

And they make your life hell as they become the baseline for comparison for all sorts of management from appraisal to work distribution.

Feel free to disagree with me, but I’m genuinely pissed today. How do you deal with them? I have a decent life outside work but lose most of it while trying to catchup to such people so that I don’t get fired.

Sorry for the title.

How the F do I deal with overworkers?

I'm also like this brother. But why I work like this? 
 I come from a small village in India . Haven't got proper education or exposure. Not born with silver spoon and this is the only way to feed our family. We too have emotions like you, but sacrificing everything for our future and family. I strongly disagree with @Elon_Musk. Usually, only people who don't work hard do like that.

How do you stay motivated and productive when working from home?

Well as long as the work gets done

Some things I believe:
As human beings it is our right (maybe our moral duty) to reshape the universe to our preferences
* Technology, which is really knowledge, enables this
* You should probably work on raising the ceiling, not the floor


Enthusiasm matters!
* It's much easier to work on things that are exciting to you
* It might be easier to do big things than small things for this reason
* Energy is a necessary input for progress


It's important to do things fast
* You learn more per unit time because you make contact with reality more frequently
* Going fast makes you focus on what's important; there's no time for bullshit
* "Slow is fake"
* A week is 2% of the year
* Time is the denominator


 The efficient market hypothesis is a lie
* At best it is a very lossy heuristic
* The best things in life occur where EMH is wrong
* In many cases it's more accurate to model the world as 500 people than 8 billion
* "Most people are other people"


We know less than we think
* The replication crisis is not an aberration
* Many of the things we believe are wrong
* We are often not even asking the right questions


The cultural prohibition on micromanagement is harmful
* Great individuals should be fully empowered to exercise their judgment
* The goal is not to avoid mistakes; the goal is to achieve uncorrelated levels of excellence in some dimension
* The downsides are worth it


Smaller teams are better
* Faster decisions, fewer meetings, more fun
* No need to chop up work for political reasons
* No room for mediocre people (can pay more, too!)
* Large-scale engineering projects are more soluble in IQ than they appear
* Many tech companies are 2-10x overstaffed


Where do you get your dopamine?
* The answer is predictive of your behavior
* Better to get your dopamine from improving your ideas than from having them validated
* It's ok to get yours from "making things happen"


You can do more than you think
* We are tied down by invisible orthodoxy
* The laws of physic
