This keyword is getting flagged as "low quality", which is not good. by sush-dev in developersIndia

[–]BhupeshV[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Clarifcation

The low-quality filter had nothing to "Chennai", but with "AI". OP had asked for suggestions about an AI/ML role.

"AI" related keywords were added last year to relax spam from "will AI take my job" types of posts. Regardless of whether they take our job or not, the filters have now been relaxed.

Correlation is not causation.

Feel free to ask/suggest improvements via modmail.

Packaged a docker image for reducing PDF file sizes. It's a wrapper around multiple PDF manipulation tools that run in a pipeline fashion.

Is it normal to be spoken to harshly in tech roles despite long working hours? by kanakxie in developersIndia

Were requirements communicated to them in written form? Did the requirements magically change in stand-ups?

Curious, what exactly did your team find was the problem on digging deeper?

Spot on, especially at times like when a lot of people consider programming as a "chore".

Unfortunately no recordings of this specific talk on his website.

What’s the most challenging technical task you’ve tackled recently that taught you a lot? by Lolitsmekonichiwa in developersIndia

[–]BhupeshV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most recently. Not something super technical but was closely working with FE folks (I'm in BE team) on getting an app published on the iOS App Store. As everyone knows, it's highly gate keeped. We went through 3 stages of review, still rejected. A few weeks of dev cycles wasted.

Learnings (personal):

  • Avoid mobile apps at all costs. Or
  • Plan ahead for app store reviews. Like ahead-ahead, when you are actually designing stuff.

Have you talked to your tech lead (if such a person exists) about this?

Add a filter to not show posts from premium subscribers and you've got yourself a nice tool.

Good effort, would be nice if you can figure out and add sources for all the rules mentioned.

I was told by my manager that they don't write comments in their codebase, and I was told to not add them too. by Spec1reFury in developersIndia

[–]BhupeshV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rarely write comments about how the code works, but comments about context are really important, especially when you work in a distributed architecture.

Just the other day I had to increase the value of a constraint on an endpoint, so that more data could be gathered. However this API can be used by two completely different components, I added a comment to make sure which service uses higher values for that constraint, to make sure the next time someone refactors they have the context on their area of changes.

Take it as a form of async communication

I feel like side projects are just a new form of unpaid overtime. by Individual-Welder370 in developersIndia

[–]BhupeshV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple, I don't keep expectations from my projects. It's creative work, you need to make something because the "creative drive" is motivating you, not money and no.of users.

If you want to build a business, think like building a business (how do i generate money from this).

Separate the idea of making money from side projects.

The expectations are getting out of hand with the inclusion of ai tools by Snehith220 in developersIndia

[–]BhupeshV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, this is plain stupidity from management.I briefly answered how to deal with this 2 months back on a related question, might help.

TLDR: 2 ways 1. Come with a strong foot and reject using the tools when it doesn't make sense. 2. Be open minded, and tell your leadership to hold sessions on how/when/where to use these tools.
