DUCK, DUCK 🦆 CODE: AN INTRODUCTION TO DUCK TYPING

Duck typing is a concept in programming often related to dynamic languages like Python, that emphasizes more on the object’s behavior over its type or class. When you use duck typing, you check whether an object has certain methods or attributes, rather than checking for the exact class.

Looking for an answer? Circumstantially, this is the best time to announce my retirement. But the amount of love I have received all over, the easy thing would be to walk away from here, but the harder thing would be working hard for 9 months and try to play another IPL. It would be a gift from me, won't be easy on the body.

😇

The great retirement!

Anuv Jain is playing so I know it isn't Valentine's 
Can hear drunk people singing aloud

My question, it's almost 11 at night.
You don't have a life, atleast do not disturb others!

The noise pollution rules are shit in this country!

Still can’t believe that zuck mounted this insane PR comeback.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

When a humble PM
Graced a ride along
With Devdas of India
Along came this song 

From when the brown dev fixed
A four-jay-logged threat
With his PRs affixed
Hoping for a brevet

They came after me
With masterful deceit
Wrote me down a notice
Instead of a praise 
While the devil's words
Minced our tender ears
And so cried the WITCHer
We can't get a raise

So toss a coin to your WITCHer
O' Valley of Plenty
O' Valley of Plenty, oh
Toss a coin to Your WITCHer
O' Valley of Plenty

The WITCHer

Work culture has become ultra toxic. Managers have started nano managing and literally are a pain in the ass. Product giving unrealistic timelines and leadership agreeing on the same without even consulting the developers and even if the developers are raising concerns, no fucks are given infact they are made to realise that this is how a startup should work. Literally everyone is working their asses off and still unable to meet the deadlines. Empathy is completely lost and WLB is a sham. People including me want to switch but are not even getting time to prepare.

Rant on Swiggy wlb

This is all trickling down from the Leadership, they are trying to cut down costs by any means. Already had one round of layoffs, now they are doing silent layoffs in the form of PIPs. 
  
 Also, Leaders have lost the long term focus and are trying to find out more and more short term projects related to profitability.  
  
 There was always this pressure of work, but in the past 7-8 months this has become unbearable with no empathy in the organisation.

Alert: a rant post

Today I saw my payslip after a long time and WTH! I don't know what they'll take once bonus comes in. Paying this much for no water, bad air, corrupt babus and all those douche things.

As much as patriotic I am, this is just insane. On top of this add all the GST and sheet ton of other indirect taxes.

Living in India and paying like Europe. Wow!

Duck the government

Earning around 50 lpa at 24 is already a great feat. Still if u want to look at the dark side, nobody can help. This rant is more common than diabetes. Yet people will stress about same thing and rant to destress. Endless cycle. Either do something about it or bring some new perspective. P.S. I am in alignment with ur rant but I’ve made peace with the state of affairs as I am not looking to move out of India and I cannot strong arm govt. individually to change this.

Why are music streaming apps consuming heavy data

Welcome to Movies & Music's Private Community

P.S. Give your reasons too, it will be fun

P.S. The series starts earlier today, because you have more of Saturday 🤷‍♀️

Saturday Playlist #3 - One song you cannot stand for no reason 😂

Can anyone explain what is happening and why it is such a big deal?

Some context - 
 Disney and apple are known to be pro left wing. These include ideologies around equality, feminism, LGBTQ rights etc which you can see in some of their shows/movies. 
  
 Elon Musk has centre - right ideologies. 
  
 Disney recently removed ads from X (Twitter) because Elons ideologies do not match theirs (an anti semantic tweet by Elon is the reason they gave for removing their ads) 
  
 Elon called them out in an interview that these companies try to "look good" in public but are actually "evil". These can be seen in some of their movies or cast where they say they promote feminism but are borderline Misandry. 
  
 Elons of the opinion that these companies use their Money and influence to force their ideologies onto people. 
  
 He said that the people can see what's happening will decide which side they are on. 
 Some of these people have cancelled their Disney plus subscription because they agree with Elon
