Tackling the cult of false heroes

Software Engineer

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Kargil Vijay Diwas. 25 years, man.

Sitting here, staring at my laptop, trying to give a shit about this quarter's numbers. But my mind's somewhere else today.

You know that guy in HR who's always on your case? Or that teammate who stole your idea in the last meeting? Feels like the end of the world sometimes, right?

Then I think about those soldiers in Kargil and every other frontier. Guys our age, probably dreaming about normal stuff - girlfriends, bikes, maybe a cool job. Instead, they're dodging bullets, watching their buddies fall, all for what? So we can sit here and argue over who gets the window seat in the office.

Makes our "problems" look like a joke, doesn't it?

Remember that time you lost sleep over your annual review? Those soldiers lost sleep wondering if they'd see another sunrise.

We stress about meeting targets. They had actual targets on their backs.

Not saying our issues aren't real. They are. But maybe, just maybe, we could cut each other some slack sometimes? That colleague who messed up your presentation - maybe they're dealing with shit we know nothing about.

To those brave souls who never made it back - I don't have the right words. "Thank you" feels hollow, but it's all I've got. Your sacrifice is the reason I can sit here, complain about my boss, and plan my next vacation.

To the families left behind - I can't even begin to imagine your pain. Hope you know that your loved ones' courage hasn't been forgotten.

And to those still bearing the scars, visible and invisible - you deserve way more than just one day of remembrance.

So yeah, next time I'm about to lose it over some office drama or a messed up Excel sheet, I'll try to remember this feeling. Try to be a bit kinder, a bit more patient.

Because at the end of the day, we're the lucky ones. We get to be here, doing our 9-to-5, planning our weekends. All thanks to those who put everything on the line.

Jai Hind. 🇮🇳

Let's talk about this. What are you guys thinking today?

Did you have a great mentor in your professional life that made you who you are today?

Here’s my story in the field of software engineering: There’s this colleague of mine who is on a pure tech role but hardly codes. The person spends his entire time on LinkedIn sharing new age tech stuff and projects himself to the world as if he is the Messiah of architecture. The guy preaches the same gyan to members of my team. For the last one year, this guy, in the capacity of Software Architect has not pushed a single line of code into our application source code and this is on record. Yet, he is highly regarded as an expert in technology. The guy has killed the careers of some genuine software engineers with his unique approach to make it look like he is taking a lead to own stuff in tech space. The guy has had tremendous career growth, got promoted 3 times in the last 5 years.

In my view, the guy is a tech junkie whose knowledge carries no value. Yet he managed to butter the leadership team to reach to position that he is currently in.

You can start with sharing your first day at work. 
Let's hear you out.

Damn ig is so addictive.

Given I'm a male my search feed is literally 👁️🫦👁️. 

My reel feed is full of dark pedophile seixst homophobic adult content. Someone please tell me it's normal. 😭

Although I've tried to change my feed algorithm by engaging with random anime, cat, and other pet posts/reels, I still come across at least 1 or 2 posts where shawties dancing provocatively by shaking their t•tties/cakes when I scroll down.

I even came across a username brokencondomsurvivor wtf 🤣

Just curious if that's the case with others too!

My fingers muscle memory got so used to that reel scrolling, i literally unlock my phone and open some random apps for no reason. It literally took me weeks to control my finger movements  over my phone. 


( •_•)      Since I'm on mission ive
 ( ง )ง     uninstalled ig months ago.
 /︶\     Using gv for insights btw.

Few of my friends are doomed because of social media honestly they are jobless rn, their academics & soft skills are literally worst, tried to help them in preparing for interviews and technical stuff but not working out. The process even dragged me down at some point. So i decided to help them financially and these aimless idiots were wasting my money on girls, restaurants and cafes just for status and stories on social media. Got angry several times but dost h na jhel rha hun in a hope of thik h kabhi na kabhi toh  sudhar jayenge(being too optimistic? 🙃)

I'm a bit worried about them as it might arise some conflicts in social respect and status.

My parents scolded & grounded me for 1000 times becoz of them. Honestly i think no parent wants their kids to be around an inept and no good person.

In my childhood i hated it but as I grew older I understood why.

The very thought of my friends being rendered useless in their life is daunting me.

I really do want my friends to succeed more than me but as days pass by i feel like there's no scope for that.

I know it's a lengthy post but what should i do?

This is not my story but my mum’s.

It was early 1980’s and I was a new born. Both my parents are career govt. servants and it so happened that just after my birth my father got promoted and transferred to a new location and office.

Unable to cope up with the added pressure of managing a newborn and manage her job as well, all alone, my mother wrote to her superiors for a transfer to my dad’s location, but the request fell flat.

She went up the hierarchy to no avail. After months of frustration, she typed a letter to then prime minister of India, Smt. Indira Gandhi herself, narrating her plight and seeking recourse. After a fortnight, she got a response, from the Iron Lady herself, assuring that this will be looked after.

Within a month mum got transferred to where dad was deputed. The rebel in her did not give in!

To this day Ms. Gandhi letter is one of mum’s prized possessions.

This may not be a typical rebel story but she had the guts to fight against the system and win. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose but what’s you “rebel” story?

Lots of stories..the rebel!
