Hi Grapevine, 

I'm Arnav, Director of Engg at Jio Cinema. I previously exited my startup to Scaler. Some of you may know me from ScalerPod. I've also led engineering teams at Zomato & Target. 

Here to chat with you about my journey in startups, leading engineering teams, and products at scale, among other things.

Ask me your question. I'll be back at 8 pm and begin answering!

This question is posed to you by Peter Thiel in his book "Zero to One"

My answer to this is:

We are in a big cycle where India will become everything great. Last 8 years have taught me that we are in the greatest momentum bet of this country's life time. So, don't rule out India. 

Build in India. Invest in India. Believe in India. 

There are many in this community that are complete nihilists and supremely bearish towards India's prospects. And let me tell you, for once in this country's history, being a complete maximalist on India is a bet that you will not regret. 

There will be a new generation of millionaires and billionaires that will be minted on new industries. So keep hustling and this country will unleash great dividends for you and your legacy.

[Thread] What important truth do very few people agree with you on?

Indians killed quora with cringe questions. The same cringe is now surfacing on grapevine too.  
  
 To be fair, many Indians moved away from facebook and are now increasingly not using insta for the same reason.

For the past year, I've been living in a tier 1 city, specifically Mumbai and Bangalore. In my social circle, I've noticed that, on average, graduates earn around 40,000 rupees per month, while post-graduates earn around 60,000 rupees per month.

However, living in these cities costs a minimum of 15,000 rupees per month for a single person. On the other hand, I've observed that local or migrant people from states like Assam, UP, WB, Bihar, and Odisha, who have only completed 10th grade, are earning an average of 50,000 rupees per month. They work in various roles such as salon services, AC repair, bathroom cleaning, painting, and massage. Even individuals working as Uber drivers, Rapido riders, Swiggy delivery partners, or in similar jobs can earn around 40,000 rupees per month.

PS:- I am not jealous of people earning much despite less education, i respect their hardwork.

Maybe our education system / society needs to focus more on life skills and treat every job with equality. 

Coming from a conservative village where education is highly respected and valued, I feel confused. It seems that money is the most important factor in today's world, despite the emphasis placed on education.

Money 💰 is everything 🚶.

Is Higher education still worthy?

Disclaimer this is not a rant or this has nothing to put in bad way someones hard work.

With so many ppl making tutorials and selling courses online, I had my few observations. I welcome ppl to join on this discussion with their point of views as well.

The most important things is you need a solid company name on your resume, doesn’t matter what work you might have done there. Everyone knows the meatiest work in google is done at west coast office(just an example).

This gives you the starting point, I would not disagree to the fact that these guys put on the hard work to crack the interviews, but that doesn’t mean you start selling a dream to everyone. It will be like what harshad mehta did to his clients during the days.

If a person is working in some unknown company and even though the person teaches really well, I bet there will be hardly any takers for his/her course. 

Teaching is an art as per me, not everyone can be a great teacher. There are some good ones out there but majority of them don’t fall under above category. I would say they are social media influencers with a bit of tech knowledge. 

We have already lost a generation with rot learning and now with the rise of these ppl, the day is not far way when a person aceing the interview knows jack shit when given an actual problem to solve at workplace.

I see a lot of folks opening their calendar and offering resume review and career guidance and other things via Topmate.
Some are charging like 6000 per hour. 
And posting that as if they are making some contribution to the community.
They are keeping posts as that is their way of giving back to the community as if it's some sort of charity. 

How the hell is giving back to the community when you are charging 6000 per hour ?? 

I dont have a problem with people who keep it openly as its a way to earn some money. You are giving your time so asking money for it is not at all wrong in my book 

But please dont label it as charity for god sake 🙏🙏

I'm a recent btech graduate from VIT University. And I'm from Hyderabad. As a way to learn new learnings and technologies. It's okay for me to work for free. 

Aim: To learn new ways and technologies irrespective of domain and work for the ideology.

Why: As a graduate, I wanted to get a job or role where we can learn professional methodologies, existing technologies, work experience and for financial needs. So, i understood that main thing is not job and money. Work for ideology, implement it and make money out of it.

What am I: I'm a enthusiastic learner. Who wanted to work for an ideology not only for money. I understood a common approach to make our idea to reality by understanding the idea by researching WHY, implementing with an approach by WHAT & HOW, and analysing the results by POSITIVES & NEGATIVES of approach.

How can I help: May be, can give assistance for you if you know What & How to implement. May be, you need assistance to save your time to complete your work by mentoring me or explaining the resources to implement. May be, to complete task, etc.

Reply your feedback. Thank you.

I have generally seen this either in reel / film life or real life, where people who love what they do, tend to be -
1. Much more happier / satisfied everyday
2. They give way more of themselves into the task not because someone demands it, but because they want to, they enjoy it
3. They constantly improve and be better at this thing
4. They aren't in it for the money. They don't do things or learn more or put more hours because it's paying them, they do it because of the love for the thing. Money is just an add-on

Do you guys have anything like this in life which you enjoy doing so much and can do it without thinking about the money you'd get. This thing shouldn't be something you consume, but something you produce, even if it helps 1 person out, still counts!

Eg. You do coding, learn new things in it, not because it pays you, but because it's what you love doing. You'd probably still keep doing it even if it doesn't pay you anything

What's the one thing you love doing without intention of making money out of it?

Unacademy - Campus Placement

I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).

I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves. 

Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.

Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.

I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard  for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).

They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

"a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" or "neem hakeem khatra jaan"

I realised this recently when I went through my old bookmarked videos and realised I learnt it wrong. 

Now i know better from my experience, but it's quite shocking, that a beginner might be still watching these videos and learning it wrong.

Most content about system design and distributed systems is far from the truth, it includes all your famous YouTubers including Gaurav Sen etc 

e.g wait till you realise that ACID guarantee doesn't mean anything and C-consistency is a made up concept.

we want an easy way out by just going through videos, and even the YouTuber can't make it complex, otherwise no one will watch their videos.

The real knowledge is still in those famous books, read those, otherwise you sound like a phony who just knows buzzwords, which is very easy to catch in an interview.

Most of the content taught by tech youtubers is simply wrong/incomplete
