@sunnykgupta Thanks for sharing this, I would like to call myself generalist as well but day by day and at my job I feel like value of generalist is becoming less most of th leadership thinks Claude gets 90% there, 10% comes from specilization and spending time this will be leverage wdu think

I often get asked a simple question:
“Are you a frontend engineer, backend engineer, DevOps, infra, product, EM, or IC?”
My answer has always been: none of the above… and a bit of all of it.
Over the years, I’ve found myself drawn not to a specific role, but to the journey of building things end to end.
- What are we building, and why does it matter?
- How will a user discover it, and what will they feel when they use it?
- Does it feel intuitive, or does it need explaining?
- Will it scale when it needs to?
- Can we turn it on or off without a release?
- What does success look like, and how do we measure it?
- What is the smallest version we can ship today?
I like thinking about all of these in parallel.
Over time, this has pushed me into becoming a generalist with depth… someone who’s spent years across layers, not just skimming them, but understanding how they connect.
One thing I’ve noticed about people who operate this way:
- They don’t believe in turfs.
- They have opinions, but they’re open to being questioned.
- They can defend decisions, but they’re also willing to change them.
- They thrive in environments where curiosity isn’t constrained by roles.
That’s the zone I enjoy working in.
Some call it a “startup mindset”… wearing multiple hats, doing whatever it takes, choosing the best tool for the job today, not the one you’re emotionally attached to.
Am I the best engineer in the room?
Probably not.
But can you drop me into an ambiguous problem space and trust that I’ll figure out a way to move things forward?
I’d like to believe so.
I’ve also realized something about myself over time:
- I’m okay signing up for the work that doesn’t get spotlighted.
- I’m okay picking up KTLO when everyone else is chasing the shiny thing.
- I care deeply about the health of the system and the organization, sometimes even more than my own short-term growth.
Not because I lack ambition… but because none of us win if the system doesn’t hold.
And I’ve been fortunate to work with leaders and teams who saw this, valued it, and helped me grow because of it.
Looking back, I also recognize the privilege of being in rooms early in my career where I could learn, contribute, and be heard. A lot of that came from simply showing up, doing the work, and iterating consistently.
If there’s one thing that defines how I operate, it’s this: Give me a problem worth solving,
and I’ll get chugging along… whatever it takes.
Why am I sharing this?
Because I am looking to hire more “end to end tinkerers” in my teams, and I want to ensure they understand that growth is not linear, it compounds with what you do and who you become as a result of that.

Quick Question :
Your site's homepage is heavily cached to handle traffic.
The cache key for the main content expires every 60 seconds.
At 12:00 PM, the cache expires.
At 12:00:01 PM, 10,000 concurrent user requests come in.
Since the data is not in the cache, all 10,000 requests simultaneously hit your database to regenerate the exact same content.
Your database crashes.
The site goes down.
How do you protect your system from a cache stampede?

@DhravyaShah @DhravyaShah It's fine, bruv. Haters are proof you're on the right path. Learning to ignore them is a skill keep shipping. Rooting for you! 🚀

I will follow you if you're cute or hot. Period. That's my main criteria. If I scroll by someone I follow and don't immediately think "damn, good looking," then poof, you're gone. Simple as that. No hard feelings, just basic visual math.
For the record, I've earned every single follower through my amazing comments, rude replies, and the stupidity I share (which, let's be real, often includes me just being me). I've never begged for a follow. I follow plenty of accounts with less than 100 or 200 followers – most don't even follow back, and that's fine. I didn't follow them expecting anything. I followed them because I liked what they posted... or, you know, how they looked.
