Just for fun don't take it seriously. I was reading a book and encountered this sentence and I laughed out loud. Because sometimes I do feel the same way. But WAIT !!! Relax, no need to criticize me for this. 😂😂

P.S. Also let's see how many book enthusiasts here if you can tell which book is it. 😉

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

He kind of speaks my language
My ideas and opinions in life (which get a lot of flak from family friends and Grapevine too)

My YouTube is filled with his podcasts/talks (own or others)
And everyday I'm finding newer things in which we are alike

Anyone knows him here - directly or indirectly?
High chances this is all PR and he is different in real life, but let's not overthink and break heart already

Human Resources

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

Personally, Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

The concept of Antifragility, where systems and individuals not only withstand chaos but actually benefit from it, had reshaped my perspective on risk, resilience, and adaptability. It is extremely complementary to the writings of Marcus Aurelius but differing in key ways.

While both Antifragility and Stoicism encourage resilience in the face of adversity, they approach it differently. Stoicism emphasizes inner calm and acceptance of what cannot be changed, while Antifragility encourages actively seeking out challenges and volatility to grow stronger. 

For me, the blend of these philosophies provides a more holistic approach to navigating life's uncertainties, combining the wisdom of the ancient Stoics with a proactive stance toward embracing chaos and harnessing it for personal growth.

Hope you people had a fantastic weekend!

Dive into any good books? Or perhaps you found a new favorite spot in the city?

I'll go first: Got lucky on a dating app. Might go on a date in the coming days :)

What did you do this weekend?

Product Engineer

All the bookworms in the house, which book are you reading currently? What’s interesting about it?

Which book are you reading?

I know it’s a very common question, and impossible to know or answer.
But curious how you folks here rationalize the meaning of life.

Add your age if that’s okay, for good measure

For me: I’m 27, my life’s purpose (or so I think) is to build something that helps a whole lot of people have a better life. And it is to make the people around me - family, friends, strangers happier (the scale of which depends on how successfully I pull this off).

Whats yours? Would love to engage on this :)

Thread: What do you feel is your life’s purpose?

Do you really need one? 
 Existence is a gift, just enjoying it should be enough.

Corporate Strategist

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.

Hey fellow grapevine friends, let me share a hilarious tale of my recent job interview rollercoaster ride! So, picture this: I chanced upon interviewing for one those new age alternative fintech firms, feeling like a boss, acing every interview level with flying colors. The interviewers were practically showering me with positive vibes about the role and the company. I was on cloud nine!

But hold on to your seats, folks, because things took an unexpected turn. After the initial warm reception, it suddenly went colder than an iceberg. I waited eagerly for responses from the TA team, but all I got was radio silence. Not even a peep. It was like they vanished into thin air!

Now, I wasn't keen on pestering the hiring manager, but desperation got the best of me. I decided to shoot them a message, hoping for some answers. And guess what? They hit me with the most mind-boggling news ever – a hiring freeze! Can you believe it? Talk about bad timing, right? I must have brought some serious jinx along with me.

As if that wasn't enough, I then discovered something straight out of a conspiracy movie. I noticed that the TA team's LinkedIn profiles had that same little green circle, indicating they were open to work.. But wait, there's more! A bunch of ex-employees and other members of the team also had that eerie green circle. What on earth was happening here? Are they secretly communicating in some LinkedIn language that mere mortals like us don't understand?

Oh well, my friends, the job hunt can be a wild and wacky adventure, full of unexpected twists and turns. But fear not, for I am armed with resilience and a great sense of humor! So, with popcorn in one hand and my resume in the other, I shall continue my quest to conquer the job market. While also finding the anomalies of the start up world. Here's to embracing the unpredictability and staying positive on this crazy journey! Cheers to the next chapter of my job hunt! 🍿🚀
