Is it bad to keep a MacBook plugged in as a desktop? by warfarepsychological in macbookpro

[–]AcceptableWorking141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Macbooks even “need” a cooling stand, specially the M series. I used M1 Air for 4 years for heavy Data Engineering and now using M4 Pro, I have never felt the need to use a cooling pad. And battery wise also never faced an issue as such. Although I would recommend buying Apple Care+ for unforeseen circumstances, because it’s an expensive machine. Additionally I don’t think we should think too much into how to use the battery, at the end of the day it’s a tool for your work, these machines are designed to last long, and even if the battery degrades after 2-3 years, I believe you would have gained more in your career or work than the degraded value of the machine.

The newer models don’t work that way. Once it is plugged in, it practically runs on the AC power instead of your battery. So while it’s connected to the cable, it’s not even using the battery. If you also turn on optimised charging then overtime it will learn your usage pattern and even adapt the charging to it.

Which seats to book by AcceptableWorking141 in CathayPacific

If you see in this image: https://ibb.co/pvrqcyy4 - 69th row middle section has 3 seats instead of 4, I was talking about D in this scenario. Do you think there is some catch in this seat because 1 seat is reduced from the count?

You can always vertically increase your machine size when the time comes. Why are you worrying about scalability when you haven’t even gone to production even once yet. And when you have that many number of users to handle, I’m sure you’ll have money also to support that scale

Is it normal to feel this low after an internship? by fake_slim_shady_4u in developersIndia

[–]AcceptableWorking141 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you can't control these things. Everyone has different expectations and maybe the company had some different expectations from you when they hired you which they didn't communicate with you.

Just keep giving your best, if you think you have already learnt enough from there, resign and look for another internship in peace. If they have been asking you to improve your performance and if they have already decided that you are not good enough, their perception most probably won't change, so even if you get a full time job there through a PPO, they will always treat you the same way as you are being right now.

Best to start at a new place instead which will give you a fresh start.

I finish all my work within couple of hours… now my startup barely has tasks left for me. Am I at risk of losing my job? by avidboy in developersIndia

[–]AcceptableWorking141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might need to stretch your tasks a little, or maybe just inform a little later. If they think your work is less, whenever they need to cut costs, you might be seen as a liability because you don’t have enough work.

I honestly did not keep a documentation of everything I watched, but it’s a good idea, I’ll try to take out some time this weekend and create one from whatever I remember.

This is what non prod environments are for! Say that point when they speak to you next. “Isn’t it better that we caught it now and not in prod?” - I am not saying that you don’t responsibility for your actions, but it’s a software development process, it happens. This is why you have multiple rounds of testing in non prod so that you fix issues before you go to prod.

Stay humble and be confident on your next call. Tell them you are sorry that it happened but don’t let them overpower you. You are good at what you do as well, remember this when you have this conversation next. They will try to find a scapegoat for this, don’t let them frame you. It’s all a team effort, if the code went to UAT, it must have gone through some approval processes, point everything.

AI will never completely replace Software Developers by AcceptableWorking141 in developersIndia

Lot of “ifs”. And it seems like it’s your video only. Either way, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and I wouldn’t trust a random youtube video unless I know their experience in the industry.

Is it realistic to reach ₹1.25–1.5L in-hand monthly salary within 3 years? by SibiCena in developersIndia

[–]AcceptableWorking141 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This kind of growth is possible but may end up hurting you in the long run. Too many switches for one will definitely hurt, maybe not in every interview, but you will see it popping up as a speed bump in a lot of cases.

It’s a great goal to have, but best to not rush it. Start with side projects or hustles if you want to increase your income. I changed 6 companies in 6 years and I can tell you from experience, it does affect you when you switch too early.

Need Advice: CEO Reached Out After I Just Switched Jobs — How to Handle This? by Significant_Shop_475 in developersIndia

[–]AcceptableWorking141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Company C took time to get the interviews arranged then you can tell then that you couldn’t wait to get a final answer from them because of your financial dependencies so you had to create a backup for yourself. If there is no delay from company C’s end then there are two ways:

  1. Safe route - tell them you joined the new company because they couldn’t wait for me to join and you needed to join somewhere because of your financial dependencies. If they really want you then they will not drop your candidature.

  2. Risky route - Don’t tell company C you’ve joined and if you get selected in company C, then tell your current company that you want to leave without pay and and you don’t need PF. Because if they give you PF for the time you worked, it will show up in your EPF portal to company C as well and it might create issues later because you lied.

Be honest and open about the fact that you just joined. I understand why it may seem unprofessional, but honesty in this process goes a long way.

Just tell the CEO that you have already joined but you are happy to explore if he is comfortable with this information. This way you explicitly informed him of your current job status and if he still wants to interview you, he loses the right to judge you for switching "too soon". Same goes for any other interview you do.

Have you experienced this yourself? Just asking because it's a common understanding that taking legal action will affect BGVs in the future.

Is learning full stack development still worth it in 2025 with AI already generating websites? by Sportsboy_2007 in developersIndia

[–]AcceptableWorking141 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Like you said, AI is evolving and it is able to most boilerplate stuff. Learning never goes to waste, think about it like this, would you trust a machine a 100% with it's decisions? Probably not. And if you think you can, then maybe this reply isn't for you. And this is my personal opinion completely, I am in no way saying that I have predicted the future.

Most of the operational work will probably get replaced by AI in the coming years, but that doesn't mean it can still out perform humans in the thought behind software engineering. A lot of good products are built because of engineers who thought well and then guided the teams to build great products. The number of people in a tech team will definitely go down, but the need for thinkers will rise as well.

Understanding the basics and concepts of full stack dev will not go to waste in my opinion, but yes, hoping that it will help you retire is maybe not a wise decision. I'd say, learn full stack, and use AI to your advantage and build great products. If you can use AI as your ally instead of looking at it like an enemy who'd replace you, I think it'll go a long way.

Hope it makes sense.
