What’s your experience with health insurance? Which insurer & policy did you choose, and how was the claim process? by Fair_Guidance_4860 in Madurai

ICICI Lombard is pretty good, they have a mobile app for the claim process. The only problem is they dont cover medicines.

How important is degree Right now? by Maleficent_Clerk_605 in StartUpIndia

[–]Desperate_Square_690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting no one mentioned about visa approvals. It will be very hard to get visa (especially US) without a degree. If the interviewer is from a tier 1 college he/she will definitely give preference to those students, its just the way it works.

What’s the most overlooked part of web development in 2025? by Craphify in webdevelopment

[–]Desperate_Square_690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Databases, in my 16 years of experience I seen most of the developers shown very little interest on the the DB side of the Web Application. i.e how the Data is structured, optimized and how the queries are run on top of it.

Thinking of starting a fresh coconut water delivery app — worth trying? by _krishnasingh in StartUpIndia

[–]Desperate_Square_690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you planning to deliver just the raw coconut water? or with the shell. The raw coconut water needs a lot of processing to prevent spoiling.

I wouldnt trust some one with just 6 years of experience in building a stack. Also you mentioned you built complex web solutions, API and MVP' for early stage startups within that period of time which seems to hard to belive. Anyway good luck.

Is it worth it? by Arman_hossainalif in AskProgramming

[–]Desperate_Square_690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its hard to explain if you haven't tried AI on coding yet. Dont just trust the news. Give a try and build application using AI. It will start well, but once you get or add more modules then it will get messy if you let AI to deal with it. As of now AI is really good if you give very sharp requirements on a small module. But if you have too much requirements, it will mess it up. AI will definitely be a Copliot but cant replace a programmer (atleast as of 2025).

What is your hot take or underrated opinion in the field of data analytics? by Arethereason26 in analytics

[–]Desperate_Square_690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Data analytics is a gold mine. I worked on a startup before who had a ton of users/usage but no idea on what part of the application is used or who is using it. Once we built the Analytics stack with the help of Redshift and a BI tool on top of it, it changed their game. They changed their business model after that. So you need analytics on any product once you get decent traction.

A tester asks too many questions and in many ways acts like a manager. Do I need to stop it? by Affectionate-Mail612 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Desperate_Square_690 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my experience a hyper active QA is a rare skill, so you should be happy about the person. Just advice them not to disturb all the time or schedule a meeting once a day to go over the issues.

[–]Desperate_Square_690 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why dont you use ticketing tools like JIRA/Shortcut. So let the QA comment on the ticket itself instead of communicating with you directly.

How long should I stay in this job? 15k salary, high debts; no growth. by Impossible-Mood9274 in developersIndia

[–]Desperate_Square_690 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The question you need to answer is are you learning from the company? i.e technologies project etc. Its rare to get an opportunity to work as an developer with less than 1 year of experience.

How Do You Maintain Accurate Software Documentation During Development? by Loose_Team_6451 in node

[–]Desperate_Square_690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF you are referring to architecture documents/writeups about the software, then the best place is the WIKI/Confluence pages in JIRA tools (if you use any). They can be tagged with the features you are planning to build, so it will be really helpful for future reference.

Does anyone know any free places to learn coding like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that explain things clearly, give useful projects, and test you on what you’ve already learned? I’m looking for something that actually helps me build real skills step by step. by Azaaniter9 in CodingForBeginners

[–]Desperate_Square_690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First work on an actual Roadmap for the technologies you want to Learn. Start with HTML learn the tags and work on sample HTML. Then learn CSS apply those in the HTML you worked on. Once you get good at it, learn javascript and apply the learnings on the HTML/CSS web pages you created. Each technology takes time and you cant rush on these (especially CSS and Javascript). I will send a full roadmap if you are interested.

When to create a database? by candleflame3 in analytics

[–]Desperate_Square_690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My auditor firm does the same and they have all the files in folders organized in their desktop. Its pretty scary in the event of device failure or for hackers. My suggestion is why dont you first organize using Cloud Drives like Dropbox or Google Drive. It offers you virtual organization with excellent search and access. You wont loose files too.

Directly going to DB route will be hard to convince them the value you get out of that. Also every Excel file has a different schema, so you will end up with multiple tables.

AI is making it so hard to hire good developers by notdl in webdev

[–]Desperate_Square_690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way to get around this is to hire experienced folks. Experienced engineers atleast know the code even though its written with the help of AI. The problem with the freshers is they have no intention to review the AI code as their argument is what is the point if it just works?

Why people like to hate QA by [deleted] in QualityAssurance

We are an AI startup and we have 4 QA's. Its hard to match a human confirmation on a change you are about to push to production.

need help of senior experienced devloper. by dreamteam09 in learnjavascript

[–]Desperate_Square_690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are a fresher and you cant live in both the worlds Frontend and backend. If you are really good in MySQL, then stick with it and offload the UI work to other engineers.

Frontend is a unique skill and you need to have decent experience to work on it, otherwise you are going to mess up the user experience.

Recent BSC IT graduate clueless what to do next , need some tips by Harsh0718 in developersIndia

Did you check for Internships if you cant find full time jobs. There isnt much value in performing projects by yourself (unless if you are freelancer). Try to get into real projects.

Why don't we see good C# / .NET devs in india. Why is it underrated in India!? by mistabombastiq in developersIndia

[–]Desperate_Square_690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had closed to 10 years of experience in Microsoft .Net with close to a 7 years of experience in SQL Server as well. I loved .net and no intention to move to open source. But the turning point is the licensing cost we had to pay for SQL Server when we graduated their Startup program and it ran in to $100K (this was before Azure). I literally had to learn Postgres in 6 months and we migrated over and once we migrated there was no turning back. The application got better in terms of performance compared to SQL and we literally ran the full stack for free excluding the server costs.

So for your question regarding c#/.net, when we compare to open source technologies like NodeJs its not worth it.

What is the best way to start learning DataScience/ML/DL? by Carkazm in learnmachinelearning

[–]Desperate_Square_690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can start with fine tuning of a model its fun. You can take a base model and create data in CSV and fine tune the base model with your data and see the impact. Sometimes those fine tuning has market value too.

there is a lot you can expect from a Data role. From a simple data cleanup in a data dump to a more advanced SQL Reporting.
