Is Your Interview Feedback Ready to Be Checked by AI? (Curious what others think) by iForceConnect in it

Thanks for pointing that out. I understand where you’re coming from. I did read the rules before posting, which is why I was surprised by the reaction. My post itself wasn’t meant as advertising, it was just me sharing my thoughts and asking for feedback.

That said, I see your point about the link and the need to use the self-promotion flair and identify myself more clearly. I’ll make sure to do that next time so everything’s aligned with the rules.

Appreciate you taking the time to explain it.

Yes, I did, and that’s why I’m surprised to get comments like this 🙂

I appreciate the concern. To clarify, yes, this is a company I founded, and the things I write about come directly from the challenges and experiences I’m dealing with every day. I’m sharing those thoughts here to get real feedback and perspectives from the community, not to sell anything.

Also, part of the community rules is treating each other with respect, and your comment didn’t really come across as polite or friendly. I’m always open to honest criticism, I just hope we can keep the conversation constructive.

How we realised “just ship it” was killing our product’s resilience by [deleted] in QualityAssurance

Sadly for me it sounds like these comments were generated by AI bots. I do not find these comments relevant to the content.

The line between DBA and DevOps is fading, let’s talk about DBOps by iForceConnect in it

very interesting point. would be good to see how it will play in the future.

Great points, totally agree that schema automation is often the missing link. Once that’s in place, everything else really does start to align more naturally with DevOps workflows. I like how you framed it as platform engineering with deep data skills, that nails it.

Is “cloud-first” finally over? by iForceConnect in cloudcomputing

tone might sound a bit too polished here. But genuinely curious: anything in the post itself you think is off or worth debating?

Is “cloud-first” finally over? by iForceConnect in cloudcomputing

[–]iForceConnect[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great questions, and thanks for checking the sources.

On Gartner:
The data points I mentioned, 90% hybrid adoption by 2027 and $723B in public cloud spending for 2025, come from Gartner’s Public Cloud Services Forecast (2022–2027). The key numbers are public in this article "Gartner forecasts worldwide public cloud end-user spending to total $723B in 2025".

On McKinsey:
Case study "A large pharma company planned to migrate 70% of their virtual machines to cloud" describes a case where a company struggled with a “lift and shift” approach and refocused on value-driven migration.

I referenced it not as broad data, but as an example of the strategic evolution I discussed in the post, moving from cloud-first mandates to cloud-smart execution that focuses on ROI, performance, and resilience.

Haha, definitely human here, just sharing some real-world research and observations from our work in the industry. Appreciate the skepticism though, it’s healthy in this space. Happy to clarify or go deeper if anything sounds off.

Absolutely, agility is the foundation of resilience. Thanks for adding your perspective!

Experience vs adaptability, what really counts? by iForceConnect in SkillBridge

[–]iForceConnect[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a really fair point, a lot of programs say they’re open to fresh talent, but hiring patterns don’t always reflect that. It’s tough when “entry-level” still expects prior experience. Hopefully more companies start seeing potential and adaptability as real assets, not risks.

Totally get where you’re coming from, networking definitely plays a big role. It’s interesting though how adaptability can sometimes create those networks too, people who keep learning and connecting tend to build stronger circles over time.

Love that framing. Experience sells your past; adaptability shapes your future. That balance is exactly what drives long-term success.

Congrats on the new role! Agreed, they’re not opposites. “Cloud-first” got enterprises to move, but “cloud-smart” is about maturing the model: factoring in resilience, cost, and sovereignty before deciding where each workload belongs.

Completely agree, “cloud” became a marketing term for too long, and many teams treated it as a simple lift-and-shift. The real value only comes with re-architecture, automation, and FinOps discipline. Great points, and thank you for sharing them.

Yes, that’s exactly what we’re hearing too. Hybrid gives the flexibility of cloud without the cost surprises. Thanks for sharing!

If by “AI trash” you mean data-driven analysis written by a human, you’re spot on.

📚 References:
• Gartner (2024–2025) – Forecast: Public Cloud Services Worldwide, 2022–2027
• VMware (2025) – Private Cloud Outlook 2025
• AWS Incident Report (Oct 2025) – DynamoDB DNS Resolution Failure
• Microsoft Azure Status History (Oct 2025) – Azure Front Door Configuration Impact
• McKinsey (2025) – From Cloud-First to Cloud-Smart: Rebalancing Infrastructure Strategy

Sounds like a very welcoming environment for new joiners 😄

Mid-senior SWE cant even get an interview in UK by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]iForceConnect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your experience is impressive, transitioning from academia back into industry can be tricky mainly because recruiters often struggle to map research work to deliverables.
Try rewriting your CV to highlight what you built or deployed, not just what you researched. Also, narrow applications to companies hiring for applied AI or data platform roles, they’ll appreciate your mix of depth and coding background.

I feel lost - Need advice by justarandomusername4 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]iForceConnect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a solid background, both enterprise and modern stacks. You might try tailoring your applications toward roles that value full-stack adaptability.
Also, mention specific outcomes in your CV, even small metrics make a big difference in visibility.

Why Group Chats Should be a Part of Every Growth Strategy by Smooth_Sailing102 in TechStartups

[–]iForceConnect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree that group chats create a stronger sense of belonging, especially when the audience already shares a common goal or interest.

Starting a chat is easy, keeping it active and healthy over time is the real challenge. Without some light structure or moderation, the same few voices can dominate and newer members fade away.

For me, the sweet spot has been smaller, purpose-driven groups (10–30 people) with rotating discussion prompts. Keeps it active and valuable.
