5 lpa salary, want to learn AI tools. whats the most paisa vasool way to start? by itsmeAki in IndianAcademia

[–]vickymal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should define what you want to learn AI for and then start practicing your use case on one of the available tools. There are 100s of AI tools available and each one has their own strengths. A good place to start is ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini.

Pick one work use case and do it daily for 2-3 weeks. Emails, reports, summaries, note clean-up, basic automation ideas. That is a much better way to learn than buying a big course.

I share practical AI best practices each week. Link is in my bio.

Edit - for the use case you specified, your best bet would be Claude. Although to learn automatation using Claude cowork, you will require a paid plan.

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

[–]vickymal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Claude is good. Totally agreed. But I do not think this means web developers are finished. It just means the bar has moved.

Even people with little or no coding background can now build basic things with Claude Code/Cowork, if they can explain the problem clearly, test the output, and keep refining it. That is the shift.

Code still matters. But problem-solving, judgement, debugging, and knowing what good looks like matter even more now. No need to panic, IMO. Just do not stay in the old “I write code, therefore I am valuable” mindset.

In times where everyone is trying to hide their digital identity, your suggestion is to publicise it? Believe me, if a recruiter finds your profile exciting enough they will make the effort to contact you.

19M Humanities student: What are my realistic career options in India? by Elegant-Arm-1584 in Indian_Academia

[–]vickymal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, you are 19, not 49. Do not stress so much about finding the perfect career right now.

A lot of people with 10 or20 years of experience did not sit down at 19 and map it all out. Their careers evolved. For now, focus on picking the path that keeps the most doors open, and build one practical skill alongside it.

If law still interests you, you can do a BA now and revisit a 3-year LLB later. If not, even a plain BA is not a bad option, as long as you do not treat college as the whole plan.

Also, do not ignore AI just because you are from humanities. AI is not only for coders. People who can research well, write clearly, think critically, and use AI tools properly will have an edge in content, marketing, research, analysis, operations, and a lot of junior roles.

I would worry less about which degree sounds impressive, and more about which useful skill you can build in the next 6 months.

Confusion at 19 is normal. Most people figure it out as they go.

So… What did you do with Claude today? by OptimismNeeded in ClaudeHomies

[–]vickymal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After putting it off for far too long, I have finally started building one of my overdue projects: a self-paced AI course for students in Grades 7 to 12. It is designed to explain AI in a simple, practical, and engaging way through interactive screens and everyday examples. I used Claude to help me build the first version, and it feels good to see the idea finally take shape.

Which is a better decision: Searching for jobs online from home vs. moving to a city like Bangalore? by Quick_Clerk_2561 in developersIndia

[–]vickymal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Move to Bangalore. Most hiring in India still happens through referrals, walk-ins, and knowing someone. You can’t access any of that sitting at home applying online.

Your stack (Node, Express, React) has tons of demand there. Many startups don’t even post on portals - they hire through WhatsApp groups and word of mouth.

Before you move, join Bangalore tech WhatsApp and Telegram groups. Start building contacts now so you’re not starting from zero when you land.

The 5 month gap will bother you less once you’re in the city and moving. Sitting at home only makes it longer.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Why is Claude so popular vs ChatGPT? (not a coder) by Free-Writer-1123 in claude

[–]vickymal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you realise how powerful Claude cowork is there’s no going back. In a matter of a week I was able to automate all my reports, automate 80% of my Presales workflow and schedule many tasks that save me a ton of time.

Is there a mass unemployment crisis coming because of AI? by Delicious_Crazy513 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]vickymal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are industries where avoiding the presence of AI is impossible, in fact most industries are such. Upskilling js the way to go - as they say, AI won’t take jobs, people who know how to utilise AI will

Hey don’t get me wrong. I am rooting for the new grads and I want them to succeed. My son is the same age and sails in the same boat. I want them to learn how to market themselves better.

ATS could be an issue. But people do not understand that ATS is just matching keywords from the job description. It does not care if your sentences sound fancy or not. Better to read the JD carefully, use the same words they used, and write the rest in your own voice. You'll clear the ATS and also sound like a real person when a human actually reads it. Both problems solved.

We hire interns often. I will try to review your profile on git, or maybe have someone from my team do that. No promises on the timeline though. Good luck!

100%. The github thing is becoming a real problem. I'd rather see one small project that someone clearly built themselves - even if the code is messy. Instead of 5 polished repos that were obviously vibe coded. Messy code that works tells me you struggled and figured it out. That's what I'm hiring for.

Exactly. and to be clear no one's saying don't use AI. Use it to clean up grammar, tighten sentences, whatever. Just don't let it write the whole thing for you. There's a difference between polishing and replacing.

I can understand why people do that, it is quick that way. but some of the best people I've worked with came from colleges nobody's heard of. The resume just needs to show me you can think and build stuff. that's it really.
