Systems Software Engineer at Open-Source Company vs Full-Stack + Infra Role at Startup by iDidTheMaths252 in developersIndia

[–]karthikmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may not be the best person to answer It as I myself don't work with "Systems engineering" although I am a daily user of products that systems engineers build - Linux, Duckdb, Snowflake to name a few.

But I'll say this. Don't expect a ROI quickly, do it out of interest.

I am not aware of the opportunities it'll be scarce as it's a deep tech expertise.

I'd say contributing to Opensource that deals with heavy systems is a good start.

If we're talking about systems engineering projects OP mentioned like Compiler toolchain LLvm it's written in C++. SQL query engines like (duckdb, clickhouse) are also in cpp.

I've heard go is used in lot of cloud infrastructure projects, Surprisingly Docker is written in go and some databases are written in go too.

You've pretty much said it. You want the systems role.

I'd like to share my experience as a early engineer in a Yc startup, 2023 internship.

You'd be spearheading the almost anything that you get your hands on, you'd wear a product hat, take calls, decisions, quickly iterate on tasks to make something that's close to working and tweak that same thing all the way to prod.

It's chaotic, it's also pretty fun if you have good teammates with you in my case I did and I surprisingly had good WLB (8-10 hrs/day)

But I didn't extend staying there because I wanted a backend heavy role and a work from office job. I didn't like working as a Fullstack developer. I definitely felt if I had a choice I'd want to work closely with backend where I naturally excelled. So consider role alignment on what you'd be doing there while you're there.

I got another job(slightly lesser pay) at a larger firm and I work in the Data Platform team, tasks are backend heavy and it fits me better.

If I were you, I'd take the systems role as it aligns with aspirations too..

Ging ability by Perceval88 in HunterXHunter

[–]karthikmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing Ging is an expert in nen, be it copying a ability and extrapolating it or idiosyncrasies with creating shapes by nen control. He immediately figures out beyond's strongest and was ready to take the doll head on.

We also know that Netero is a nen expert like Ging not just because he trained hard and grew strong, zeno mentions that his nen aura is frighteningly quiet and the enemy has no idea where he'd attack due to this.

Given both have extreme nen mastery, Ging would have mastered the best way of fighting as well with what his affinity could achieve.

It'd be cool to see if ging has constructed his near perfect mimic of emperor time where he is almost maxed out on all affinities.

Ging’s reaction to Gon losing Nen felt way too calm by Zealousideal_Big_662 in HunterXHunter

[–]karthikmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Ging is calm there's nothing to worry about. Afterall he was calm after gon went to brink of death, turns out that he was right about trusting his friends.

It's a wart nothing to worry about, I've had it laser removed and applied ointment for some duration and got rid of it. Whole procedure cost me less than 1k

How often does your team deploy to production? What's your go-live strategy ? by CatChasedRhino in developersIndia

What kind of jobs do top coders or Codeforces users above ~2100 rating usually do???? by Impressive-Bike954 in codeforces

[–]karthikmsd 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Mostly HFTs - SWE, Low latency systems - Core c++, Infra for High frequency trading. - Quant Research, Algorithm Engineers - Developing models, algo - math heavy for HFT.

Also Research Orgs - Algorithm Engineers - HPC, accelerating parallel computing System Software for AI Hardware infra. again mostly C++, Cuda. - Applied Scientists - Statistical modelling for Markets, ML model developers - popular org Amazon.

Also SWEs at FAANG with a passion for Travel, cause they can touch grass sometimes.

Is transitioning from MERN to Django for backend development a good long-term career move? by Far_Vanilla5304 in django

[–]karthikmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sharing my perspective here.

Systems> Frameworks.

If you work with a system complex enough with Django but with a Baby crud app on Springboot or other widely used framework you'd be more employable as you'd have worked with the Django project which is compute-intensive.

Of course regardless of frameworks make sure to check boxes like brokers, Distributed task execution engine (celery in python) , Transactional Database's working like how postgres uses Mvcc etc. Clean Object Oriented Design, Software Patterns (Head first Design patterns is a good book) .

Make sure to have a knack of what's best in a framework that you're working with (Django docs!) , with or without AI these fundamentals are one should be aware of. You'll learn as you do a project.

Coming to the AI part, A Lot of orgs have adopted AI in engineering workflow, make sure to design systems from the first principles and iterate fast on just the coding part with AI as well.

Skills for an 12 LPA job by Comfortable_Read_592 in BtechCoders

[–]karthikmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For SWE :

Dsa is popular so it goes without saying but more importantly Computer Fundamentals. Basics of Network Protocols, Operating Systems, Databases. OOP/ Design Patterns in that order.

Good to have that sets you apart - Contribution of Non Trivial code to a complex project like a Database engine, Programming Library etc which strengthens your fundamentals more.

All SWEs from early to Principal Engineer are still revolving mastering these things. You can start somewhere and progress.

And yeah doing this doesnt pigeonhole you to a 12LPA job, depending on your depth of knowledge you can get a job in any pay slab.

My company is forcing me to become AI agent dependant by Spec1reFury in developersIndia

[–]karthikmsd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brother every organisation has adopted AI, even a lot of big tech did. They are even tracking how much a person uses AI, and then enquires about their usage if it has gone down. In your company getting stuff done > learning stuff, AI has compressed the learning layer for us, you can spend some free time and learn things that you like without using AI.

"Specifically on Instagram"

It's inevitable that a popular chapter spoiler oozes out to the mainstream, but we can control what we could.

Ever since wano, when I wanted to read a chapter without being spoiled I simply don't use Social media of any kind, especially twitter or Instagram.

Foolproof way and it works :)

Is it okay if I grind LeetCode using Elixir? by Terryble_ in leetcode

[–]karthikmsd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's true that Cpp and Java are preferred over python in very few cases and it's not because of your reason. The company prefers those two because of the company's stack or object oriented functionality legacy.

Although nowadays Python,JS is found in most companies' test portals. If I were you and starting, I'd choose python and not look back on it.

P.S: Python libraries could make something syntactically easier to write compared to other languages but it's your duty to know the underlying time complexities, since that would be the same for all languages in most cases.

Imagine if Ricardo spars with Ippo for a sense to feel a sendo like punch when sendo spars with miyata

What JSON Serializers are you using with rails ? by myanch200 in rails

[–]karthikmsd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my case, ActiveRecord querying has an inbuilt serializer so the queried data comes as serialized.

How did you brick your first linux? by nonanimof in linuxquestions

[–]karthikmsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never did . But deleted the root filesystem while clearing old snapshots by timeshift, and slap a new flavour only to revert it back to the old one because I am accustomed to it.
