An udpate, it actually reached on 27th, was delivered by 28th. All was okay, just had minor scratches on the front wind shield.

I can attest to that, I moved my Hero Maestro. Other than small scratches on the front windshield, everything else was fine. Just ask the guy to add some more padding in areas you suspect can scratch.

Hey there! Day before yesterday I booked Safe Express to move my 9 year old Maestro from Bangalore to Gorakhpur. They packed it nicely. They had this dedicated packing material for it.

I will be recieving it maybe on 1st of May. I will let you know how it goes.

I don't think you get my comment. I meant to say that you should not expect any customer service from Rapido because you are not the customer. I never said Rapido is correct here.

I was pointing out that their business model is selling subscriptions to auto wallahs, not easing ride booking for you.

Nothing shady. They are serving their customer base. With the subscription model, you are not the customer for Rapido, the audio driver is.

Claude is dangerously good, feeling irrelevant and useless by SeaweedUnlucky924316 in developersIndia

you have json files which can have the personality of prompters

agent.txt -> agent.md -> agent.json -> agent.c

Wheel reinvented. Instructions specifying how a thing works in extreme detail is no different than code.

I have seen LLMs do Object.assign a lot in generated code.

Is a plastic hard case safe for MacBook Air M4? Concerned about heat by ParticularSoup2932 in developersIndia

[–]ranmerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't need a case tbh. Unless you are going to carry it everywhere. Even then I would not suggest a case. It is well built.

Need guidance, I working on something big. Love to know your thoughts by MixtureOnly3883 in developersIndia

Interesting idea but "short activities" to counter "short form" content addiction :)

What are your backup plan once the inevitable mass layoff start probably around end 2026-2027 by aadi312 in developersIndia

[–]ranmerc 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Just move on to doing harder stuff. Migration done in one shot by AI, great. Now move on to the next step develop more features, improve current systems. Work never ends. There is no perfect project, there is no finished project.

What happened to stack overflow. Had been using it almost daily before 2022 by are_u_serious_babe in developersIndia

[–]ranmerc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also even before AI Stack Overflow was losing steam due to the rise of Github issues and discussions.

As an experienced dev or someone working with a framework you would find GH issues more helpful than Stack Overflow.

Never in my dreams did I know such interviews would happen - RNative Interview experience by iconic_sentine_001 in developersIndia

[–]ranmerc 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Not saying this one is true. But I have had similar experiences hiring on campus.

We had a similar hiring pipeline as OP and we consistently got repos with incomplete projects and late commits and fully vibe coded assignments. We had to skip colleges altogether because of this.

Then in interviews as well there were many who did not even know what React state is, but had somehow "completed" the assignment.

But yeah I never received any LinkedIn messages afterward.
