opensource

I felt like doing this AMA since, recently, students and experienced folks are being lured by 'paid' open-source courses. Feel free to ask any questions without paying any $$$. I won't respond to questions which could potentially dox me though. P.S. I know the post title is cringy, but I couldn't think of anything better ATM.

want to build my startup with small team of 4,5 peoples , I am a fullstack developer 1Yoe suggestions/Guidelines please .

Indian SDEs on LinkedIn & Twitter are some of the worst engineers you will ever find across the real world. Their typical value lies around: - Cracking a FAANG/MAANG or Product company. - Make an announcement on LinkedIn & Twitter and accumulating followers. - Starting YouTube channel, Topmate links, affiliate marketing channels, and more. - Rant DSA, System Design, Interview resources all day long. - Post daily of their office, their colleagues, candid shots, and barely getting any work done. While this is expected out of early career professionals, it pains to see senior SDEs doing the same shit over and over again. Things don't end here — Everyone talks about creating a revolution. And the revolution is teaching DSA. If you are an experienced SDE and still ranting DSA, it just means that you have barely learnt anything that is of worth any value. You are atmost a "Ticket Engineer". You get assigned a Jira ticket, you bust your ass solving it, and that's it. That's your entire value. Its high time that these "Bhaiya", "Didis", "Bhabhis" stop ranting DSA and System Design over and over, and build something of real value. You would barely see any credible open-source projects coming out of India (but hey, we have some many contributors!), barely any Indie dev project, or anything that captures the attention of the world. Literally every popular SDE you might follow or see over your social media is the same. Their entire community game is a farce and designed to capture gullible college students and shill thousands of rupees out of them. You might be featured on Times Square ($40 ka showoff), but no one would remember you for anything that you built. <Rant Over. Peace>

I use notion but its very slow. Few things takes time in notion. I can use obsidian, but the problem is sync? Which note taking app do you guys use??

I had this idea in mind, that many of us either want to learn something new or create our own product but we either don't have the time or consistency to learn or no time to build huge products alone. So I'm proposing this, why don't we software Engineers of all experience levels come together and build communities where if someone wants to learn SpringBoot Backend or React Frontend or whatever the stack is, they come along and start working on a product and learn along the way. To help them, experienced software Engineers come along and if they want they work on it and help the people and guide them with the best practices. In the case of experienced folks, let's say they decide on several products and we divide the teams based on the expertise and start working on them. What do we get in return? Better networking, experience and maybe a few good startups which are built by us, and they succeed at a product level. Who is this for? Anyone who wants to mentor, learn or want to build a product but they don't have people to do that. Who all are invited? Senior Engineers, Tech Leads, Engineering Managers, Product Managers, Director of Engineering, CTOs and others. Sr folks to help the community. Let's say we decide on 5 products, make a roadmap on how we want to work and within a year we release these products in the market and maybe maybe we get to work on our own company rather than from others. if not, then also good karma and networking will be done which will be helpful for this tough time ahead of us. Today's Junior engineers will be Senior engineers of tomorrow. Today's Senior engineers will be a great part of management of tomorrow. Let's build real software and change the way we learn things and do great engineering and learn a lot and earn from the products as well. Thanks 🙏🏻

I know backend development in Node and Expressjs. I have also make some projects (not resume worthy) revolving around crud operations. What projects should I add in my resume?? I mean I can't add a random todo app. Also what more techs should I learn to master backend? I have a keen interest in how databases work, how a request is processed in backend.
