 Hmmm, I can bet that's the solution, will try to be grounded, flying too high these days 🍻😁

Static shocks? Ah, the winter's tiny lightning! Moisturise your skin, wear cotton. Unpleasant, yes, but dangerous? Rarely. Ever tried a humidifier?

May be because u work more than 70hrs a week

Use wooden combs, wear more natural fibres and less artificial.

Carry a metal pen or coin and touch the steel surface beforehand to discharge the static.

I carry a steel parker pen. It works for me.

Yes, i have started to take off my slippers and touch the floor before touching any door knobs or plates in my house

Static shocks? Oh, stop being a baby. It's just electrons playing tag. Wear cotton, touch metal, or live with it.

Have you experienced static shocks frequently these days?  What's the solution? Or should I ask why is it happening? Any clue...

Static shock- Grapevine

I don’t know if it’s me or Bengaluru but for last 2-3 days, I have been getting these static electric shocks in almost everything that I touch, door handles, laptop and so on.

Anyone else on the same boat?

Static electric shocks

So yesterday i went to soul spirit mall for a movie. While going in escalator i got a very good electric discharge. And this is not the first time, i have seen happen to me many times even on the plain surfaces in Bangalore. I have seen similar experiences shared in Bangalore sub reddit as well. Have you experienced any?

Also where does electric production happen in Bengaluru. I want to visit the place producing electricity.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey fellow devs,

I'm a software engineer and I'm getting tired of the disconnect between the skills recruiters expect and the skills actually required for the job.

In my daily work, I solve problems that are mostly straightforward and don't require extreme problem-solving skills. But whenever I apply for a new role or get approached by recruiters, they always ask for "expert-level" problem-solving abilities, even when the product or service doesn't seem to demand it.

It feels like they're looking for someone to solve world hunger, when in reality, the job is more about maintaining and improving existing systems.

Has anyone else experienced this? Am I just being too salty, or is this a real phenomenon?

Share your thoughts fellow devs.

Software Engineering: Where 'Good Enough' Isn't Good Enough for Recruiters

Curious how many care to maintain their gadgets

How often y clean dust from ur CPU/Keyboard, etc  ?

These past 6 months my performance at work has been dwindling and one primary reason I attribute is memory loss. I find it difficult to recall key points of mails, design reviews, MoMs etc. and often end up missing out things at assigned tasks. What's scarier is that it not only applies to new concepts, I often find myself forgetting even formerly familiar things. During morning updates and discussions I find myself giving uncertain inputs and asking shaky questions because I find it hard to remember key terms, figures etc. I sometimes even forget to pick up some assigned tasks altogether. Random brain freezes have become everyday affair.
.
Sleep-wise it has been little medium-poor but not so bad that could explain such drastic changes. I'm 30 yr old, male, unmarried and don't have any major health issues (except some stress / anxiety and accompanying Irritable Bowel Syndrome condition).
.
If anyone else experienced this, how have you dealt with it?

How is the product, engineering WLB, culture etc. Glassdoor is too positive so wanted to get some critique.

Anyone from Adobe, Noida?

I turned 25 a few months back. I am balding from my college days. During the lockdown, it was somehow accelerated and lost most of the hair line. Now i look like a person with male pattern baldness who has lost his almost all hair. 

Baldness is hereditary in my family. My head almost looks like my fathers head, who is also bald. 

I always knew that I would go bald someday but never imagined that it would be at 25. 

Though i don't hide it by anything. I go in public openly and try to be as confident as much as possible, but sometimes I feel very sad as people generally stare and don't usually talk normally. Some relatives even tell it on my face that who is going to marry you. This generally brings down my confidence.

Career wise, i am doing pretty good. Earning good money. 

Some people say go for hair transplant, but to be very honest, I don't feel it is worth spending money on the hair, which at the end going to vanish only due to hereditary reasons.

I have almost accepted the way I look now, but  become very anxious when I think about getting married. I'm not sure if somebody is going to accept me the way I look. 

What would be your advice for me? How should I deal with it so that it does bother me again and again.

Going complete bald at 25!

Hi,

I have almost 10 months of experience as software developer in 3 companies one internship, 2 full-time. First 2 was absolutely initial-stage startups, this one is a seed-funded startup. In my current company the culture and the manager is really nice. I work as a backend developer, node, MongoDB, express, genai, auth, etc. tech stack. But the work does not excite me at all, I was enjoying at my previous company a lot more. That was young team, so everyone was new to tech and trying to figure out things and was helpful and collaborative. Here everyone is in their 30s and 40s and I am 23, no one even cares of what I work and how difficulty I am facing in work/team. That's why I fear of losing my job every day and I am still on my probation. So I thought of applying in case I get laid off. I got an interview opportunity at company. I want to ask what should I answer if the interviewer asks me about the frequent switches.

In first company I switched because the company is like 3 people and no funding was received so only 3 more months of money remaining( btw now only the founder left and he is still trying to raise money, my other colleague left too). So what should I give a reason for this potential switch? 

Current perks: 6LPA base. Nothing else.

Have an interview coming up, how to prepare for frequent switching question?

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?

Guys, I am a software engineer and work remotely.

I am 25 years old but feel as if i am older. 

> Already facing heavy back pain, lower back pain. 
> Facial and body hairs are turning grey
> Already bald

Are these all common, or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?

How's your experience working as Software Engineer.

Any thoughts?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm feeling really stuck and frustrated at work lately. Despite putting in my best efforts and consistently performing well, it seems like my manager is feeling threatened by my progress. He’s been rejecting my ideas and work without even reviewing them, and calling me out in meetings for not completing non-priority tasks. The environment has become really toxic and it's taking a toll on me. Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you handle it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Feeling frustrated at work

Since I work remotely, I get a lots of dms asking for *quick calls*.
Every time I see a message, I get slightly panicked. Is it normal?
How do you guys deal with it?
