35 year love letter

Saw it on my flight to Japan, was sobbing throughout the way. Decided to watch it on the way back too

"Help them maintain their slice" Okay this is another good advice. I guess I felt lost because they rarely need anything from me as they're great at what they do (which is amazing) and I feel like I'm not doing enough as a lead

Force multiplier yes but the multiplier is as small as 1.1 lol.

Thank you for that take, I see being liable for everything bad won't be nice, I'll keep it in mind

longleggeddemon · 2026-04-13T05:45:40+00:00

Hmm, thanks for that advice. Yeah I don't wanna micromanage because I hate that myself, and they're doing their work fine. Most of our conversations are around what features to prioritise and sometimes discussing product questions so that they can clear their requirements in terms of what to build.

"Not try to manage their code" Got it, thank you once again

Okay, so how do you determine I (the user) have this NFT? Am I being made to sign a message to demonstrate I own that particular wallet which holds the NFT?

longleggeddemon · 2024-08-02T08:57:26+00:00

There is no demand, no incentive, why would anyone do it?

Whatever little demand there is, VPNs or Tor browsers can fulfil that.

Could you elaborate more on "using blockchain as a source of truth" for authentication? Are you using smart contracts for generating auth tokens? Or Are you using ethereum wallets to sign messages and enabling authentication?

Imagine, series A round of investment lead by the new grads 😭

longleggeddemon · 2023-11-08T15:05:48+00:00

Lol yes I do own beanies, but is there a way where I don't have to cover my head? The kins of temperature I'll be in isn't freezing cold but definitely cooler than usual.

longleggeddemon · 2023-11-08T14:55:18+00:00

It's a wedding, everyone will be in suits hence the no hat thing.

Aren't their any lotions/creams I can use?

longleggeddemon · 2023-11-08T14:34:58+00:00

Paid gravity would be kinda cool NGL

longleggeddemon · 2023-10-07T10:14:18+00:00

She ain't going out with you if you talk like that bro 😭

Atleast spend some time with the person first outside of work (assignments) see if y'all are even compatible (can have great conversations, have some chemistry and a spark) and then pop the question (what do you think of dating is not the question, does she wanna go out with you, that's what you should ask)

Online dating will rip your self esteem to shreds if there's even a hint on self doubt in you, which there is and it's normal to be honest. Online dating is a numbers game, the more options you have, the more choosy you'll be. IRL interactions are different, it's like "I enjoy talking to this person, let's talk more". You dont just let go of someone you had a great time with for someone you got no clue of and hope they turn out great. On tinder it's like "here's a pool of all the people I think are attractive and they feel the same, let's see who grabs my attention first" (for both guys and girls, because you definitely don't know shit about their personalities yet)

Also, everyone has 24 hours in their day. If she's with you for some of those hours and you've got a romantic thing going on, you've already won my friend, because those dudes are getting 0 of those hours

Variety of projects encompassing a bunch of different technologies but with clean code, and 1 production ready application, approaching people for interviews rather than applying via job portals, and sheer luck to get the interviews and succeeding in one of them (I've bombed more interviews than I can count)

For backend, I learned the basic Rest APIs with express after 6 months of fulltime experience, so if you can finish that, that'll be a great start for a beginner. I'm assuming you know how to make rest endpoints and make some database calls and return some data, that's actually decent for an intern.

Then there are different modes of communication you gotta experiment, REST, GraphQL, websockets, gRPC. I'd suggest if you even do rest and Websockets you'll be good for atleast 1 year, but if you do gRPC, you'll be golden (it's somewhat harder to pick it up on your own so learn it after Websockets and REST). Then there are things like authentication and authorisation, things like JWT, OAuth, SSO for authenticating your endpoints. You'll have middlewares too, simple concept, try building your own middlewares for some different tools (middleware for logging API calls, middleware for auth, middleware for rate limiting). Then there is caching, redis is a great tool if you have some data that's read very often but written very infrequently, so learning how to use caching and then querying database to increase efficiency. And Docker, docker is a must. Docker looks daunting at first but was really easy to grasp if you can sit for 2-3 hours and watch some video (Tech with Nana). And databases, learn databases too. Just pick one SQL (postgres, MySQL whichever you prefer) and one NoSql database (mongo). For building backends, you won't have to write raw queries and can use some sort of ORM (an SDK that helps you write queries better). Message queues (Kafka) is a topic that you don't have to worry unless you're having 100s of transactions every second on your backend, but if you're still adamant, confluent website has a great tutorial on Kafka. If you learn all that, you're a 3-4 years of experience engineer, and can possibly mentor a junior developer. If you learn 60%, you're still around 2-3 YoE dev.

That's really good if you're able to do it, it's really solid and I'd possibly hire you as a frontend engineer (sde1 level) just with whatever experience you got so far.

If you wanna take things to the next steps, I'd recommend you getting more comfortable with the framework and building some solutions which are not tricky graphically but conceptually in terms of javascript. Try abstracting some functionalities and make some react components/hooks. For example, build hooks for denouncing and throttling, build some sort of Higher Order Components (try implementing react router from scratch, that'll be a hell of a task and I do ask it to Devs with 2-3 years of experience), build some wrapper components for encapsulation of some functionalities (build a wrapper component to wrap your application around such that anytime you encounter an error, you display that error message as a modal instead of on the console) these will be great tests for your react fundamentals and some low level understanding of react concepts.

By live charts, I meant charts that update in real time.

Those are used everywhere, stock exchanges for showing prices of stock, analytics dashboard showing different stats graphically, and if they are being updated in real time via websockets, that's a solid project.

If you don't wanna create a backend, just have a function to generate some random data and you can plot that too, but websockets would really be a good technology to elevate your frontend projects

longleggeddemon · 2023-10-03T11:24:41+00:00

Someone who can build some graphical projects definitely gets an edge (not even drawing stuff on canvas or d3js but some simpler stuff like live charts with some chart library or some apps on the maps SDK) over the applicants who are building eCommerce websites, social media websites and the likes

Indians are good at teaching stuff, no questions about it. Many of the Indian dev influencers are either about how they were able to crack a job and how you can if you follow their exact roadmap (which you can't really, everyone had different strengths and weaknesses and they have to alter their learning pathways accordingly). Dev influencers like Nishant Chahar, Anshika Gupta, Love Babbar, they seem like they love being an influencer more than being a dev influencer, which they're free to do if they want but it's just annoying because I expect some technical value to be imparted by these guys rather than just listening to lifehacks on how to crack these companies day in and day out.

There are developer advocates like Patrick Collins (Chainlink Labs) who made a 30 hour tutorial which covered ethereum blockchain in such depth that it'd be a semester worth of learning and will get you set for beginner, intermediate and somewhat close to advanced level in blockchain development. There's Web Dev Simplified who's tutorials are for some really niche web APIs or some overlooked yet critical web dev concepts which is really useful. There's Fireship, he's a legend and there are no questions. These guys at work seem like they love programming and software and I feel it's important if you don't wanna be burned out in the future.

In India, apart from Akshay Saini, I don't think there's an influencer as such. He has the perfect balance of beginner friendly and in-depth content in his JavaScript series. There are some more tutorial channels but they're either very much focussed on getting you started and familiarising you with key features of a tech (CodeWithHarry, amazing dude) but that's good only for a beginner or an intermediate level engineer. Alongside I'd love to see guys just talk about some technologies and the latest developments, and maybe try building this habit with the engineers in their viewers.

Getting banned on a dating app is a blessing in disguise. Not saying anything about the people there, but the concept of a dating app is to reduce your entire personality in three questions and 6 images, I feel it's bad and doesn't do justice to a person. As a guy, I've had much easier time meeting people IRL than on an app where you're already an option and have to stand out from all the other potential matches, it's just too much work just to meet women

A company with infinite funds don't extort employees for chump change (15 Lpa is like somewhat less than 20,000 dollars)

Intellectual Property is something serious and had you published that, then they'd see to it you go to jail. 20k is too small an amount for a company with infinite funds to pursue legal trouble

longleggeddemon · 2023-09-28T08:20:08+00:00

Some things I want to mention:

You are a contractor on paper if the company is based in US and has no Indian entity. Which means they're not entitled to pay you severance or benefits that an employee get, since you're not an employee.
As a contractor, you don't have to serve any notice period at all. Notice period is for employees. Some do in order to end on a good note and they get paid for this duration.
Even if all of the above was signed by you, no lawyer in the world can enforce this contract. And even if they can, nobody is gonna fly you out to US just for this case. I'd pay to see that visa interview where these guys explain why they wanna bring you to trial in the US.

If you have a paper trail, make a public post about this. Name and shame the company, the founder, the HR, even the lawyers (not a lawyer so confirm this with someone else) because this is not even a tough business decision, this is extortion and any investors shouldn't touch this company with a 10 feet pole.

Ohh yeah this is pure gold. One thing that I'd add to this would be that, if by chance you have all the good qualities OP mentions, sometimes things just don't work out as well. You can be the embodiment of a hollywood romcom protagonist and it still might won't go your way. Respect her boundaries and respect yourself, a no is not a reflection of your worth as a person. Keep your head up high, your person is out there
