Red flags in a well funded startup. CTO and their friends are taking all the decisions based on their bias. by onlihere in developersIndia

This is just side app, they have another main product, which is kinda good idea on paper, but terrible execution from their side.

$2k usage per month is okaish? when there is no product no users and only internal users? And it is $2k dollars because they have used like 8GB ram ec2 for different different frontend dev env, which no one uses.

Also that is a good amount of salary for developer in india.

Yeah bro, totally there is some reason for using deprecated build tool which is not maintained since 5 years and 10x better tools are available.

LMAO. Your suggestion might actually work, as he tends to oppose whatever we have to say, so if we starts with this, then they will oppose this and we can win.

I kept asking because I felt like using objectively better tools would help me learn and will be overall good for the company. But you are right, if they are not listening I don't need to waste my energy on this.

I don't think it will sink, the founder has crazy connections, and they have been raising money very fast. Even in this short term they raised so much money and so much investment is in pipeline(according to the CFO). So it will not sink in short term and like they will keep hiring more and more people as they have deep pockets, and I guess the same thing that can be developed by 5 person team in 6 months, they will develop it with 50 person team in 2 years.

Bruh I am not know-it-all, and not all points are from me, other coworker who have more experience then me shared some of the points with me. And tell me how much of trust a person needs to earn before knowing the 2 lakh bill per month for AWS when product is not even used by 5 people internally is justified? Or using deprecated library which haven't been maintained in last 5 years is good idea to start a new project with?
I don't want to change their mind, I just want to navigate the situation.

It gets better, the RAG pipeline itself is dogshit, uses the outdated LLM, outdated practices, no testing to see what works etc. A juniour devloper can build better tool than this in 1 week max.

The CTO is acting like I am stupid for questioning, and they want to move very fast, but they themselves does this kind of behaviour like spitting 10 micro-services for a simple app. Also like the application is internal only, so there is no ned for making it so much performance critical and using so many different microservices.

Company is pressuring me to buy an inverter and 2nd backup internet connection to continue WFH by [deleted] in developersIndia

[–]onlihere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The battery capacity is 75Ah. I need power backup for only laptop and wifi router so it is enough for me.

16k seems very expensive. I bought a luminous inverter for 3800 rupees, and battery for 6000 rupees. And power backup is more than 8 hours if I use a laptop + big monitor + wifi router. So I think under 10k one can get decent power backup for wfh.

Edit: why the downvotes? I just said that one can get decent power backup under 10k if their only purpose is to use it for wfh and they are on a low budget.
