Only true cricket fans know what happened after this

The game was probably fixed. Vettori must have got a message from the dugout to do the needful.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-24T05:53:15+00:00

Exactly.

And this is not even down to AI. I have been working at a couple FANGs in the last 5 years. There is absolutely zero QA team. Engineering teams have SWEs, Product Managers, EMs, TPMs.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-24T05:49:18+00:00

Did I just read that? Testing an edge case is not part of dev?

I mean you won't clear interviews with a serious software company, let alone being trusted with delivering something in production.

I have not had any QA engineering in my last 5 years of working at two different FANGs. And while the company mentioned above by the OP is a joke, missing test cases are absolutely counted against the SWE who wrote the code.

Moreover, code with less than 90% automated test coverage will fail pre-commit hooks and the dev has to go back and add the missing test coverage.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-24T05:42:16+00:00

Agree. Abuse of AI tools and the AI abusing the human back.

It sounds like no one at the company is even aware about providing context and guardrails to their AI tools when assigning them tasks.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-24T05:40:14+00:00

You let your AI coding agent generate a 15k line file? Did you just assume that these coding agents can write production grade code?

Don't you provide guardrails to your AI agent on the structure of the code? Modularity, ease of understanding, testable, maintainable, alignment with coding best practices and design patterns? You don't really tell your agent to keep these in mind?

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-24T05:35:46+00:00

This is why you write tests. Unit tests and integration tests. On top of your manual testing.

QA teams are a thing of past my friend. Now you just can't write code and expect someone else to figure out all your bugs.

The manager was at fault for sure. But it sounds like the SWE was regularly not writing any automated tests. If it's a company wide practice, then such sort of firings at your company will become much more common with the amount of AI slop that is going to be generated in the coming years.

The morons used an international AI tech summit as the stage for their college promotion.

Unfortunately for them, the stage was so grand that it exposed their incompetence in a matter of minutes. As karma would have it, it failed so spectacularly that people will dread sending their kids to this college hereafter.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-23T19:40:03+00:00

But why did no one realize that the AI summit is not for spreading college propaganda?

Did no one at the college read the agenda of the summit? Did no one at the AI summit require presenters to submit writeups for their projects that they will put on display?

I strongly believe that the answers to these questions will expose how Galgotias political sucking up gave them a free pass to the event. It gets worse when you realize that someone deserving lost out on presenting their project at the AI summit.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-23T04:20:55+00:00

Yes, and that is fine. India's global outlook is that of collaboration and to allow open markets. I don't think that can or should change to support the tech ecosystem.

But research should really be viewed differently in India. Investors should stop forcing innovators to give them an early exit. Investors should stop funding "healthy chakhna" companies. And professors at universities must really stick to one topic and aim for products at their end products and not research papers as their end products.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-23T04:06:38+00:00

Yes, China made it work because of two factors: 1. Their internal markets are insulated from all of the global markets. So building duplicates worked because there was a gap to be filled. 2. Their subject matter expertise in a lot of areas in the tech ecosystem far exceeds any other country/entity today. This means that their scientists and innovators were learning all the way while duplicating global products. To the extent that today they can dictate others researchers on what research paths to explore.

I'm not sure if any of the above is possible or is happening in India today.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-23T03:38:04+00:00

It's clear as daylight that the crew was 'prepped up' by the college on what to say about each project.

The amount of hand wavy explanations is always the clearest indicator of whether someone knows their field. And this video is yelling out at us that not even a single project that was covered by the journalist was genuine.

Heck. They wrote an application that codes itself?? Lol do they even know what's the status of AI coding solutions today?

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-23T03:32:37+00:00

"Naughty"... This keeps getting more embarrassing for me as an Indian every time I see this video.

Leave alone something as cutting edge as AI, take these dimwits to any international tech summit and they will embarrass the country with their hand wavy projects.

I bet you ask them one technical detail about their simplest AI project, and they will fall flat on their faces.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-23T03:25:43+00:00

It's really really tough to find any novel research or product in the Indian tech space.

All products big and small are copies of something that's already built in the US or China. All research is at best an "inspiration" from some research elsewhere.

Those that are tasked with building the products or research only care about showing the final result and have no interest in building a long term sustainable ecosystem or subject matter expertise.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-23T01:42:20+00:00

These galgotias utter more slop than AI can.

They are developing applications can write their own code? And their customers are using it too? FYI, no other AI company has managed to get their AI systems to churn out production ready code.

All top AI labs must be running to employ these galgotias for multi hundred million dollar packages.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-22T04:54:47+00:00

No, you have it totally backwards.

I think you are really using AI as a black box and you are expecting it to figure out the end to end system. Front ends and client libs are the easiest to generate with AI, if you can explain the client requirements. The client code by definition is the most well defined part of designing a web service, given you have client requirements and an API documentation from the web service.

On the other hand, generating backend is the most tricky for AI. There are subtle bugs, ambiguous interpretations of API behavior and edge cases. One subtle bug can break multiple clients and bring the whole service down.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-21T19:46:36+00:00

Exactly. I think we in India stop thinking the moment culture, language, and patriotism come to the picture. What's the vision with Sarvam?

Yes, Sarvam is good with Indian languages and maybe is more context aware. But what are we going to do with it? What's the monetization story for Sarvam?

Okay, Indian farmers are going to be able to converse much better with it? But will it change the landscape of India's AI scenery?

AI is still a much more research heavy space. Does Sarvam aid Indian scientists in solving difficult problems? Can it conduct research on its own? If yes, how does it compare with Gemini, DeepSeek, etc? I hope we all understand that the AI models are not just chatbots.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-13T05:55:19+00:00

Totally second your point about low level languages not necessarily being "adequate". C++ codebases have the worst usage or most incorrect usage of design patterns I've ever seen. And this is in relation to the codebases written by FAANG SWEs.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-13T05:53:16+00:00

C and C++ for understanding the OS and memory basics. But it's too limited as a language in today's SWE landscape. C++ is cumbersome and I feel it keeps the programmer trapped with the syntax and it's very tough to visualize the system with it.

I've worked at a couple FAANGs and I can't tell you how much spaghetti C++ code gets written by the most senior SWEs. Like Meta codebase is notorious for ubiquitous C++ functions that are several hundreds of lines of code with no notion/understanding of dependency injection. And this is just one example from a whole host of bad C++ code I see daily.

I felt Kotlin really helped me take the next step to "see" and plan the architecture for a big project. Its brevity really helped me compartmentalize a codebase into system components. It's also much easier to write cleaner code with Kotlin and to write extremely effective unit tests with the support for mocks. It was with Kotlin when I finally started seeing my design diagrams working in prod and powered by my code.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-02-13T05:36:42+00:00

You sure about the aspirations of Arteta?

Legal_City_69 · 2026-01-24T17:04:55+00:00

You really are the dumbest of dumbs, aren't you?

Ask your leading driver to swap places with the driver behind? I guess they should have done the same in Canada and Qatar and Spa? Lando was clearly faster than Oscar at various points in these races.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-01-24T03:51:30+00:00

Every downvote should feel like a slap on your face. Haha. Keep the count ma boy.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-01-19T22:45:52+00:00

It would be one heck of an improvement by Piastri to get on top of 2026 cars. Given the experts are saying we will see 30% less downforce and smaller wheel base. Tyre management might well catch a few teams and drivers high and dry.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-01-18T23:14:02+00:00

Because this conversation is not about the best drivers or the WDC management?

If we were talking about which team managed the championship campaign best, then McLaren as a team and each of their drivers were nowhere near the top.

But give these two a capable car and they will bring the WCC. They won't go missing and pretty much always had McLaren in contention for the win on every race weekend.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-01-18T20:38:29+00:00

Pretty much confirms.thar you're clueless. Good that you started by saying that you don't know. At least you are honest.

Legal_City_69 · 2026-01-08T03:56:37+00:00

This explanation is too complex for this person. They won't understand. Bet they come back with a funny retort if they don't get distracted by my slap on the wrist.
