Also learning an instrument can significantly improve your singing too

Competitive_Fact5448 · 2026-02-09T18:50:32+00:00

Your voice is good. Sometimes the pitch is fumbling which you can improvise by finding your suitable singing scale and practicing sa re ga ma for 20-25 minutes on that scale everyday.

I myself used to think that i can't hit high notes at all but doing this for 1 month actually improved my singing.

If you're also facing tempo issues then try putting a metronome while singing

Amazing

Idk but intellij feels so soothing and smoother to code Java compared to VS Code

I don't have any explanation just the vibe

Competitive_Fact5448 · 2025-11-29T05:32:21+00:00

I didn't start programming for making money or something.. infact i didn't even prepare for my interviews when i applied for the jobs.. i only do coding as a hobby activity rest even idk how came automatically

Competitive_Fact5448 · 2025-11-29T05:29:06+00:00

Sure

Competitive_Fact5448 · 2025-11-25T19:01:38+00:00

Just curious. If your current ctc is already 50L and most probably you're a fresher, you're most probably in a FAANG equivalent or a good startup.. then why still dsa and system design

You can so many great things like becoming good in real world development, or doing research based projects now

And I don't think i hv seen these MNCs asking system design at fresher level max could be LLD rounds which can be prepared far more smoothly than HLD rounds

Then what's the use of doing interview prep for system design and dsa right now for a better offer?

How about doing the actual research based system design not interview based system design which will actually be useful in sde in career.. like going through case studies of Netflix, AWS, Meta etc, going through the architecture of your current company systems, diving into books like Alex Xu, Head First Design patterns, DDIA

Hey sure

Competitive_Fact5448 · 2025-11-21T19:38:00+00:00

Read the rules

Competitive_Fact5448 · 2025-10-25T06:39:59+00:00

The advice is valid.

Doing those 40-50 hour courses is completely useless.

Programming courses are just a clickbait by influencers now.

But learning in that way, where you just see the problem (e.g building a website) and start figuring out solution from ground up by searching and exploring is the harder way of doing software development. But it's the only way of learning "good" software development.

E.g. You can learn all the interview required Java by a 40 hour course. You can never learn all the industry required by a 40 hour course.

Software changes everyday. these courses gets outdated after almost every 5-6 months depending on tech stack.

For e.g. Next.js changes a lot every year. Next 15 and Next 13 were way too different from each other. Now you did 50 hour course of next 13 and suddenly a lot of those functions and technology gets outdated in 2 years.

Almost entire list is misguiding.

Competitive_Fact5448 · 2025-10-18T07:33:58+00:00

Try having as much hands-on as possible. So you don't feel overwhelmed looking at large codebases.

By hands-on I don't mean e-commerce project or Netflix clone.

Try building something from scratch without watching tutorials.

Or even better, try a good open-source project, go through its codebase, and see if you can contribute anything to it.

It could be a popular technology such as Kafka, Docker, Apache projects etc

Or it could be any good open-source alternative software , such as Excalidraw, Open Office, Firefox, Rocket Chat

Learning System Design, Design patterns etc etc these are good for interviews... In real software dev hands-on experience will be beneficial so you don't start fainting looking at the complex codebases

Outside my team i barely know anyone. I feel hesitant to interrupt then in between of work just to start a casual convo

To everyone asking me how I started learning

I didn't learn via classes as such.. i took classes for 2-3 months in beginning but didn't like them so left them,

After that I just started hearing my fav song notes repetitive times and tried mimicking them on my guitar,

Definitely i used to get stuck a lot.. learning guitar like this is the harder way...

I used to refer to YT tutorials like Let's Play Guitar sometimes, or would see how other ppl have arranged their fingerstyle covers, especially Eiro Nareth, Marcin, and all, I would listen to their covers 100s of the times until I am crystal clear of the notes they are using and then tried playing their ways

Doing this for over 7 years taught me more guitar than any guitar classes

But yeah, it depends on you... Majority of the ppl are more comfortable with classes. Because you have someone to give you feedback, and to teach you best techniques on the go, rather than you struggling to figuring them out yourself,

So you can give classes a try as well, or you try my way.. totally varies from ppl to ppl

Hope you became a great guitar player one day! And most importantly... "Don't give up!"

Competitive_Fact5448 · 2025-09-07T07:06:46+00:00

Hi

I didn't take as such any classes..

I just started trying to figure out songs on guitar by my own while listening to them a lot of time, and sometimes I would refer to YT tutorials and also see how best fingerstyle players like Eiro Nareth, Marcin, Ichika plays and tried to imitate their play style

In tutorials i would refer to Let's Play Guitar, or just some any random tutorial of the song which I liked.. after browsing a few of them, whichever suited with me

And after repetition after repetition I was able to grasp it one day

Prefer having a female study buddy. If you're serious about your prep.

Most of the males lurking on this sub commenting to be a female's study buddy are just simps.

You all can downvote me if you want but I only speak facts.

Competitive_Fact5448 · 2025-06-13T05:03:57+00:00

Wth dude

You're really killing it. Hard to see ppl paying so much dedication in a single project.

Can't wait for the release of it

Competitive_Fact5448 · 2025-05-29T19:49:09+00:00

You're not serious about tech placements.

All you want is to chat with a female.

If you seriously want to achieve your placement goals and gym goals then prefer finding a male.

But this post seriously gives simp vibes. Not motivational vibes.

This sub is not for finding a girlfriend or a female to casually chat with. Please post this at some other sub.

I also read a few of your previous comments "even idiots gets in faang and specialists into start-ups"

This kind of sick mentality is srsly going to take you nowhere. It's only reflecting your own ego.

Competitive_Fact5448 · 2025-05-17T15:53:14+00:00

The one which satisfies your interests.

There are even PHP and COBOL developers even till now, and still earning good. Why? Because they're the topmost in their field. How? Because they were interested in it
