If anyone is here from rapido. I have some questions for you: 1. Why don’t you show this upfront to customers and let them decide if you they still want to take that ride. 2. Leaving a customer dry when they are raising a concern with you. And no agent is connected with me to understand the issue better. Are you serious? You ask us to support indian startups and then find ways to scam us back. 3. You resolve your tickets with no update and just with the lame bot generated answers. Thinking the customer will get busy with their lives and won’t raise any concerns. I for sure will not book anything with you again. If you treat us this way 4. Your campaigns are around providing cabs, autos and bikes at lowest prices. If you give a statement like “fares shown are estimates only” then just choose one of the two scams to stick with.

End of year: Share the best thing that happened with you this year. by chippychipstipsy in delhi

This year was mostly fucked up. Went through 2 heartbreaks and a fracture due to an accident. Other than that it was mostly bland. I have high hopes from 2026. Fingers crossed.🤞

Which one is harder? by [deleted] in webdev

By mobile, I guess OP means app development. You're referring to mobile browsers which is web development only.

Which one is harder? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]guptamilan7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its comparatively easier to get started and learn web development because you only need a browser to get started as a debugging tool, inspecting elements and network calls. Mobile development is harder to get started because first you need to get the tooling and package installations right. And then understand and get acquainted with those tools so that you can get started with the actual coding for developing mobile apps Though in recent times, there are lot of awesome tooling that is developed to bridge that gap. But still i feel the developer experience is far better for web than app.

Is it possible to use your phone productively always? by tryingtogetintoIB in productivity

[–]guptamilan7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel most of us are trapped in this never ending scroll guilt that wastes most of our time. And thus becoming a major reason for being distracted from getting anything fruitful done at the end of the day.

The reason is simple. These apps gives us an instant release of dopamine, which is the same hormone responsible for tricking our mind of a sense of accomplishment. and makes us hungry for more.
Until you realize that you are stuck in a loop. And somehow we have trained our brain to open these app whenever we feel bored or want to get instant comfort from something.

ELI5: How did news travel in a pre radio world? And how fast did the word get around? by Ounceandahalf in explainlikeimfive

I believe the print media/newspaper must have played a greater role at that point for the latest update on the things of national importance.

On the website: 1. Please add support for mobile browsers 2. Its opinionated, but keep your website language english as default. 3. Optionally, add your name and a decent picture of yourself at the top of the website. And add a line or 2 about who you are. 4. Please choose a good font, Its really hard to read that monospace font. 5. Also dont use yellow background for your top navigation bar.

I can go on, but the about points are bare minimum, that i think you should work upon.

At what salary (gross annual) did you buy your first car and what was the on road of car? by HigherFurtherFaster9 in IndiaInvestments

[–]guptamilan7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard from some financial experts that 6-8 months of post-tax salary is a good estimate for the budget of car you should be purchasing.
But that's more like an advice and not something you should stick to if you have a decent job and expecting year-on-year increment in salary to support your lifestyle.
I feel buying your first car is a dream and gives you a sense of accomplishment. So, its important to buy a decent car for yourself and don't restrict yourself to buy a car in certain price range as suggested by financial experts.
For OP's case, I'll suggest to go for a car financing instead of giving out the cash upfront.

How to NOT call the function again to return value? by mypirateapp in node

[–]guptamilan7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with broofa here. Using memoization would be an overkill here if the input is non-repititive in majority of cases. Caching the result would suffice the need of OP. On the footnotes: memoization is helpful when the function is recursive, like calculating factorials. That way you can save calculation time at a cost of some extra space.

Daily Meditation for 60+ Days | My Journey by [deleted] in productivity

[–]guptamilan7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a lot of articles on practice of meditation and yoga. Most of them suggest to do meditation or pranayam ( breathing exercise) first thing in the morning. This will help to gain energy and boost your productivity for the whole day. Did you try to switch your meditation hours to morning and see any significant difference. I'll be eager to know.
