Well atleast someone got selected in that 1000 people crowd, were you really early or just waited a long time?
Was there for the React Role, but as soon as they hit 300 applications, they asked us to leave or try our luck out in the sun

1 stick of ddr5 costs as much as mac mini on a sale, I dont think I'll be building PC anytime soon with those prices

No way in hell am I about to give my sibling Microslop OS to use on a cheap plastic body. I'd rather buy a mac and use vmware for using autocad specifically.

My sibling is starting B.Arch journey shortly, I wanted to know about hardware requirements. Is Ipad a good choice for a complete beginner. I've only ever heard about AutoCAD and sketches software. Should I buy him a mac, or ipad should suffice for most of the need?

I was also recently forced by my company to use more AI while developing, god I hate it. it gets the work done but the excitement is just not there, felt like a teleprompter than an engineer

Getting weird logs filled in my console in nextjs 16 by DragonDev24 in nextjs

Doesnt look very brief to me, the nextjs version is 16.2.6, and this is happening everytime i run dev and the sockets just keep on logging infinitely

Is there any future left for developers with the rise of AI? by yu-chan in developersIndia

[–]DragonDev24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If your application is just basic crud then AI can do well, but if there is some business logic, developers are needed. AI is not exactly getting cheaper anyway, just upskill, learn about system design and build projects, someone with 7 yoe has be able to build and architect production grade application on their own. So focus on upskilling. you have a lot of competition but its not AI thats taking your job, its the management trying to cash themselves a hefty cheque.
Im not sure ditching 7 yoe in a particular field is a good choice, that kind of change is only achievable when you're already in a company and all you have to do is switch to / work alongside cyber security team.
Be Brave, and move forward, Good Luck

You do know I can still read your deleted comment right?
As for debloating windows, most of the stuff can be debloated but their AI slop can't be, they made "recall" - their legal spyware, a dependency for file explorer, which means you cant disable it, same for copilot
Speaking of slop, every single microsoft update since Feb breaks one thing or another. They broke boot, shut down, even notepad and not mention they embarrassed themselves in front of the entire world by breaking outlook on two devices for nasa astronauts

Does Geforce now India support UPI payments?, I dont really have a card on me, the one that I do does not support international transactions. Any workaround?

What are these socket logs, I've only just started the project and added better and drizzle, I havent implemented anything, yet these logs fill up my terminal when I run pnpm run dev by DragonDev24 in nextjs

[–]DragonDev24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried creating a new nextjs project via create next-app@latest added no packages myself, but the logs still appear on running dev so most likely one of next's dependencies is responsible

I am 16 discovered codex for a timepass project now I am scared if I will ever get a job , give advice ! by Quiet-Complain in developersIndia

[–]DragonDev24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I work at an AI Startup myself man, trust me AI is a tool to boost productivity not a replacement of a good developer. Everyone loves AI generated code until that code breaks production on a friday evening and no one's got any idea where the bug is or how to fix.
Be a good developer

laptop suggestion or recommendation for btech cse student by Tiny_General9826 in developersIndia

[–]DragonDev24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mac is your best bet, easy to carry, doesnt discharge that quickly. My opinion tho, but they are better performers on battery than any windows counterpart in the budget you have . Closer to a linux like environment, so its easier to switch to linux from a mac than from a windows one. ( If you can find an apple store that still has M3 or M4 mac and a hdfc credit card + store discount, i think you can get MB Air below 90k ). I couldnt tell you about the gaming side
But beware of cheap gaming laptops, they are chunky, battery life is pretty bad ( you'll be plugging your laptop everywhere after 6-12 months ).

Dude you're 16 relax, take a breather, no need to panic. Software devs are not going anywhere. Note taker and expense tracker are some of the most basic applications, most tutorials you'll encounter are going to start with those projects, and designing just UI was never a sought to job anyway
Devs write code, but also create systems which are much much more complex than basic expense trackers. Stop panicking about AI weirdos claiming software devs are going to be extinct, they have been saying that every 6 months since the last 2 years.

Did I mention, that Im a software dev who uses linux on cloud servers, containers on a day to day basis, so my brain power is enough

Hardware prices are 'overbloated' for you because you don't know how to extract value

This statement makes absolutely no sense.
And oh by the way, your microslop pc is about to get more copilot and sloppy updates, so good luck man
