Like you write about the analysis @steppenwolf

Before writing, 
 Use AI (Gemini, GPT4) in the brain storming and research part. 
 After writing, 
 Use Grammarly and QuillBot to improve grammar and language related mistakes. 
 ***Never ask AI to write it for you, The reader wants to hear the stories from you. Not a text generating program.

I love writing. Exploring different products, especially ones which strive to make lives easier. I don’t wanna just focus on one thing. Which is my current state. Would love to connect with people who like to ideate, build but looking for the right words to shape it up. Let me know. :)

How to put the phrase "find you own happiness, it comes from within" to use?
I am curious to know your coping mechanisms.

In a world full of apathetic fake people, how do find peace from within?

how many books have you read this year?

Last two months had been great, I was consistently building a morning routine. Included little fitness too.
Happy how my body felt energetic.
Until one day, "I didn’t feel like getting up"
Two weeks, Schedule is back to groggy mornings, skipped breakfast, put on visible fat

Work has got shittier.
My day starts with 2 hours of compulsory, back-to-back meetings, followed by more 1-O-1s through the day. 
The meetings are just crying how things are bad, not working out, employees are not putting efforts, revenue is down, sales is not performing, clients are leaving - 3 hours later, we still haven't got a action plan. What's the use?

This wasn’t meant to be a rant. 
Just that cannot tell people to fuck off.
I feel should tell a part of me to fuck off too.

How do you overcome low days? (Indian parents term for being "lazy")

Consultant

What do you do outside of work? Are there any hobbies you genuinely love and don’t just do to pass the time? Do you have any secondary sources of income?

From what I have seen, most people in corporate lack ambition. They don’t have any passion, nor is there any will to do anything outside of work. While I completely agree there is nothing wrong with it, the sheer low percentage of people who are passionate about their life just astonishes me. Maybe I am expecting a lot and am wrong here. I wanted to know others’ opinions as well. What do you people think can be the reason?

Do you have any ambitions?

I actually don't want to climb any corporate ladders. I don't care about job titles and don't need any accolades. 
 I just want to have income to fund my lifestyle, not be depressed working with assholes, help other people and be around good humans. That's it.

Corporate Strategist

I work in remote mode full time, occasionally visit the office, once in 3 months. My office is located in a different city from where I live in.

The work I do is challenging and interesting, but I manage to complete my tasks by working for max 4-5 hours a day. Remaining time of the day, I get distracted, not with household duties but by doing research on random stuff. I want start a company, but I have no idea where to start. I consume a lot of information, yet most of the time I spend goes unproductive. By nature, I am very unorganized. 

Most of my friends are busy in their own world and I don’t want to disturb them seeking advice.

Any idea how I can get over this habit to make productive use of my time, while WFH?

Software Architect

Anyone here puts in effort to become verbally athletic?
I have always admired eloquent speakers and aspire to be one. While I know it’s a journey and not a destination, I’d like to learn about any hacks you follow to have a better command over the language. 

Here’s mine: I try to maintain a common place book to write down new words and alliterations

What’s your hack for great vocab?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi, I am an intern, it's been 4 months, and I still panic when I get a new story, is there some kind of unsaid rule on how to approach a story or issue given ?

Thank you.

How to approach a story given!

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. 🙄

Internet can be fake, social media posts, WhatsApp forwards, you can change Wikipedia, diseases with best SEO come up the searches.

Agreed to all, you cannot rely on Internet (always)

What's the other reliable source? Books!
But how are we sure the books are correctly written, who is checking it
Someone in 17th century could have written fiction and we are here mugging up for UPSC (just an example, definitelya possibility)

What do we rely on?

Random thought

Your opinion matters, I want you(Yes, You!) to tell us about your view.

Would you choose to work at the top companies for the rest of your life in the same domain and continue to climb up the ranks? Maybe, you switch every 3-4 years to other top companies and have the perfect resume.

It looks something like: 
Google ➡️ Meta ➡️ Amazon ➡️ Microsoft ➡️ Uber ➡️ Netflix etc.

Or,

Do you go for the unconventional path which shows a life well lived and an interesting story?

Maybe, you worked for a few years as an SDE and then  joined a smaller company as an MLE. 

Then, maybe a few years down the line you decided to start your own company in the AI/ML space. You fail but it’s okay.

You decide to use this experience to become a consultant at a BigCo. to gather capital. Then, you exit and go run an entire vertical at a Series B+ Tech Company.

It may look something like this, but can have any variation: 
Niche#1(big co.) ➡️ Niche#1(small co.) ➡️ Experimental Bet(running a co.) ➡️ Leverage Experimental bet(if fails) ➡️ Senior Leadership

Here’s my question to you, the reader:
What do you think? 
Which approach would you prefer?
Do you think it sounds good here but real life is different?

Anyone interested to do reading sessions for 'Read write own' book?

I joined EY recently 4month ago and tagged to engagement from last 2 month. They hired me for a Java selenium skill set and I tagged to typescript webdriverIO skill set.

Here I have pressured and I couldn’t be able to handle it and thinking get release from engagement. 

So can you advise how can I continue or how can I ask release from engagement.

How can I approach.?

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?

Business Analyst

1. I am having a strong problem statement, which is thoroughly validated, along with a business plan, but I am not working or starting it as I lack confidence because I don't have a team in place.

( I am an IIM graduate and currently a product manager - giving these details just to get a sense of my background, which might help in the type of suggestions from your side).


2. How can I find a co-founder/partner/core team member? Please advise me on where to look for co-founders or people that share a similar mindset.

Please help me to navigate through this situation. Thanks in Advance 🙏

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding this?

Will entertain only serious questions that respect anonymity. I don’t mind humor, but trolling is strict no no.

Conducted one AMA session last week & was overwhelmed by both number & positive feedback. I might choose to skip any question repeated from last time.

Some things about me
- I love to code & go beyond coding
- Managed a team of around 20 people before
- I love mentoring people
- Presently overseeing the architecture and lifecycle of a suite of products

Don’t mind me giving you some useful gyan 😀

Hey folks,
Can you please share the methods and [] while writing self performance reviews?

As starter, I'm sharing couple of pointers I follow:
1. Gather supporting evidences for reviews you write. Don't wait till last minute, because you'll definitely forget what you did last whole year.
2. Don't try to take credit of someone else's work. Even if you contributed a lot on the project/feature, don't write it in a manner that tells you single handedly developed it. Try to mention yourself as part of team, and the achievement as an effort by whole team.

Share your tips below👇, will help everyone in the community.
