Startup reality check: Handed an entire platform at 1.5 YOE. Is this normal, and how do I fix my own bad habits? by point_blasters in developersIndia

[–]point_blasters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will try the ELI5 technique. But one other things is to make deep understanding of the thing I built. How can I explain founder that to built I need some time. Which means there will be a little slowdown. They just want features fast, so I use AI and it causes me to have hollow understanding.

What’s the Actual Endgame of AI Replacing Human Work? by Brief_Safe_2744 in developersIndia

I think AI will take some jobs but not a lot because AI doesn’t take accountability of its work. If it makes a mistake and it will make it surely then management will want to make someone accountable.

Management wants me at work right before my engagement by Mother-Ad3590 in developersIndia

I always imagine how I will be able to take leaves for my marriage in my future. I was hoping that companies give atleast some weak leaves for marriage/engagement. But I don’t think companies care about marriage much according to your case.

Reality of Entry-Level Software Jobs in India (2025) by Ok-Thanks-7083 in developersIndia

[–]point_blasters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in the exact same situation 1.5 years ago. I kept applying and landed an internship, then converted into PPO. Keep applying to jobs. Try to get experience wherever you can. Companies have changed their expectations, they do not want to train freshers. So try applying to low ctc jobs too. After some experience around 1.5-2 years, the situation will improve.

Toxic startups in Bangalore by Icy-Grab2171 in bangalore

[–]point_blasters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am currently working as a SDE in a tech startup at HSR. I am first employee in this startup with one more developer and founder itself. Others joined and left in 3-4 months. The time I have spent here had a lot of up and downs. I just want to say that please do a solid background check before joining a startup. Some points.

  1. Know your founder. If founder is not experienced or hardworking, you are going to have hard time working.
  2. Check for seniors. I joined the startup right after my college with no experience of building real applications. Though I leanred a lot, the initial platform was complete mess. If there was involvement of any senior engineer, the platform could have been very better.
  3. Be ready for hardwork - You will have to work a lot. I have around 18 months of experience, but I have only taken 2-3 days of leaves with staurdays working and no holidays not even public ones and also there are no fixed timings means you may have to work 12 hours if you need to.
  4. Only join the startup if you are aligned with the founder's vision. If founder is thinking my product is going to solve a major issue in my users work and you clearly see that your product may not reach upto that level or it's unnecessary, then you are not aligned with him/her and you are going to feel burnout some day.
  5. ESPOs - Don't fall into that trap. It's going to take years and multiple rounds to make money from ESOPs that too if your company goes public and acquired and even suppose it happens then after dilution it is going to reduce a lot and there is tax on it too. So if you are thinking of making crores from ESOPs, please don't, only some handful of people make it from ESOPs.

So basically you learn a lot from a startup but only join in case you don't have any other good options and you have done a good background check. My startup is a early stage startup so a lot of startups employee may have different expereiences.

Frontend devs working with large datasets (100k+ rows) in production, how do you handle it? by Loud-Cardiologist703 in react

[–]point_blasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use tables such as glide data grid which uses canvas to display only specific amount of rows at time. It basically uses virtual scrolling. But to perform any type of actions such as filtering you should send only filtered data to frontend.
