2022 goal: Learn the art of patience 💗

@ishandutta0098 @terizohrajabeen agreed

i have a particular seat in a cafe in indiranagar, the view of which is open and you can’t see who is coming into the cafe. i have had numerous 6-8 hr long continuous coding sessions there to a point that the staff just knows what i will have. i always used to think working from cafes is overrated, until i discovered that it works wonders for me.

Whats your key to lock-in?

@arpit_bhayani agreed

You become the average of the five creators you follow most.

this feeling

the essence of being a software engineer is simply not giving up when you're stuck

As a backend developer in 2026, how many of these 10 terms do you understand? 1. Idempotency 2. Backpressure 3. Circuit Breaker 4. Eventual Consistency 5. Distributed Lock 6. Exactly-Once vs At-Least-Once Delivery 7. Cold Start 8. High Cardinality Metrics 9. Sharding vs Partitioning 10. P99 Latency

@khushiirl unpopular opinion which should be popular

Unpopular opinion: “Vibe coding” only works when you actually know what you’re doing.

@ishtwts it is a lifestyle at this

Programming: the only profession where you are expected to go home and do more of your job just to prove how much you're qualified to do it.

@DanielLockyer couldn't agree more

It's sad that we promote and encourage complexity in the tech industry I'd love to see more of a push towards simple solutions to problems

@kartik_singhhh @ycombinator lol i got one too few days back

dayumm🫠 YC startup.. @ycombinator i m getting noticed now ig😇

@archiexzzz these days I am actually considering a mba since the tech environment is shitty now :((

unpopular opinion: i genuinely think we don't need more software engineers and the numbers are going to keep dropping every quarter. today, there is no moat being a swe.

@frantzfries yup, in the same boat

everyone I know in tech is either depressed or euphoric right now, there is no middle ground

@drummatick same. I am in 3 years into tech as a swe and can already see that I can't be in this business atleast after the next 3-4 years. Trying to find some alternate route T T

I’m 6 years already in and I don’t see myself working in this industry 5 years down the line This industry is majorly done for. And I won’t make the argument like “if you’re top 1%” you’ll be fine.

@ybhrdwj this was so sad :((

Tailwind lays of 75% of their team. the reason is so ironic: > their css framework became extremely popular w AI coding agents, 75m downloads/mo > that meant nobody would visit their docs where they promoted paid offerings > resulting in 40% drop in traffic & 80% revenue loss

@paulabartabajo_ used it today, so so fast!

Do yourself a favour

@fidexcode yes 😂

Is this possible?

The most underrated skill in development: Reading code you didn't write.

@codewithpri sometimes yes T T

We all agree that frontend is harder than backend right? 🥹

joined a new company recently as a swe-2. Unlearning and relearning new workplace patterns currently

started @edwarddonner's llm course. week 1 looks fun so far
