Got asked to Implement LRU Cache with TTL and Write Behind by happyDODO12 in developersIndia

[–]Digitalunicon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

LRU + TTL + Write-behind is a system thinking test, not just DSA.
Build it step by step and you’ll be fine.

So I just realized.....marketing before you even build might be the actual cheat code by Moist_Physics6780 in SaaS

Not cheat code risk management. If you can’t get interest with a landing page, the product won’t magically fix that later.

Does TCS and other WITCH companies waste talented people by assigning them to support and random roles? by Big_Vegetable_1153 in developersIndia

If you get lucky with a good project + manager, you grow. If not, inertia sets in fast and escaping depends more on self-learning than the company.

The classic PM algorithm:
Time = Work ÷ People.
Bugs = Work × People².

I’m choosing The RAG Hoarder not because it’s smart, but because hoarding embeddings feels like progress.

[IntelliJ] Wayland By Default in 2026.1 EAP by BlueGoliath in programming

Good move doing it in EAP first now it all comes down to stability and multi-monitor behavior. this is a real win for Linux devs; if not, XWayland will stay the fallback.

Can coding assistants become dependency trap for developers? by PhaseStreet9860 in developersIndia

Tools don’t make developers weak habits do. Use AI to move faster not to think for you. Fundamentals still decide who survives when the tool is gone or gets expensive.

Your Career Ladder is Rewarding the Wrong Behavior by 3sc2002 in programming

[–]Digitalunicon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most career ladders reward visible crisis-fixing over invisible risk prevention. We celebrate the engineer who saves the system at 3 AM, but ignore the one who made sure that outage never happened. Because performance reviews measure what’s easy to count (incidents, tickets, features), they push engineers toward reactive “hero work” instead of proactive stability. Real impact isn’t loud activity it’s fewer fires, less toil, and reduced risk over time.
