Kushal Jain

I’m a student developer building in public. I share what I’m building, what breaks, and what I learn while working with real tech and real constraints. Focused on effort, consistency, and getting better every day.

I just followed @GirlScriptSoC on X for #GSSoC2026 — India's largest open source program! GSSOC26-AE99F42B

@S_N_SH_E_ Yeah I mean screenshoting it and posting without any opinion of yours on it.

@Kushal_py reposting??

This guy’s been moonlighting as a Platform Engineer earning ₹70L/year ( ~$80k ) and now he’s stepping back

@justbyte_ X

Honestly, which premium is worth investing in 2026??

@haha_girrrl Video editing stupid high pay

what careers would u persue if u are starting fresh without a degree or relevant skills?

@S_N_SH_E_ Poor documentation mostly

What usually slows you down the most while coding? – Poor documentation – Dependency issues – Environment setup – Unexpected bugs – Your own skill issue 😭

After a very planning based January and a chaotic February, I am back againnnn. More valuable More consistent Also today I published my first ever article today on medium, you should give it a read. Here: The Death of Thinkers — A Short Guide on Focus @jainkushal785/the-death-of-thinkers-a-short-guide-on-focus-608554e6b5cd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@jainkushal785…

@xoaanya Product based thinking is the answer

If everyone has Al What becomes the real competitive advantage for engineers?

@haha_girrrl Thats me when I was in 9th 😂

@S_N_SH_E_ The cost of a life of instant gratification is equal exchange of suffering later on.

Graduation day felt like freedom. Pictures clicked. Smiles everywhere. Everyone said, “Now life will start.” A few months later, reality showed up. No job, no clarity, constant pressure. Days spent learning, nights spent overthinking. Friends slowly disappeared into jobs or degrees. Comparisons became daily routine. Silence at home felt louder than lectures ever did. Engineering didn’t end at college. It followed us home.

@uditkundu19 @S_N_SH_E_ 😅 nah I think this helps my networking attempts

@Kushal_py @S_N_SH_E_ that’s just an excuse from us

me whenever i have free time:

@markrahi Dxmnnn

@Kushal_py Funny story, i met an excellent engineer who's worked in the biggest of companies, i showed him my DES (Discrete event Simulation )demo for factory digital twin simulation. He lifted his hands up. ERP/CRM etc s are a joke in application systems. Anyone can build it today

F man... Building a tool with #AI has become a joke. I really don't know how traditional software companies are going to compete. Either the PhD 's will survive (just survive); or brainless will make tiktok and explode

@xoaanya Consistency pays off 💯

This happened way faster than I expected. 48 days ago, I started this account. Today, it’s monetized. Grateful to everyone who supported my posts. If I can do it, you can too :)

@heymoosh I see, cool implementation

@Kushal_py Yep, it's a mix of Claude Code terminal (inside of VS Code) and markdown files (the ones that have the dashes organized into a table). The markdown is really for my benefit.

Day 4 of building a system design for production quality software products with AI development agents. Yesterday, I had to recover hours of lost work due to not having solid git practices. All the commands and every edge case we had worked through to get it to a working state - wiped clean. Fortunately Claude Chat and having session handoffs between each chat thread saved the day. Today, I made it top priority to embed solid git practices into our workflow automatically, so that I don't have to manually track what changes were stored where. Working through our first actual ticket manually as a test run. So far, so good. 🤞

@S_N_SH_E_ I think there are ecosystems, ecosystem where one language is preferred and ecosystems where another is preferred. That's why its called IT industry and not a company. Depends on which ecosystem you wanna go?

Maturity is when you realise Python and Typescript are just trending languages, but in the market, Java has been ruling for ages and will continue to rule.

@justbyte_ Only verified ones I see.

If you are verified X creator, #letsconnect 🤝🏻

@pcshipp Java backend dev here, let's connect.

Hello X, help me reach people in tech who are building and learning growth mindset I'm ready give follow Share what your building & learning Let's connect

@BowTiedCrocodil Quality gets sacrificed for the speed, but sure it has it's own advantages, not like it's totally bad.

Vibe Coding allows for easy jigs to be made, helping you build better software faster. These custom support tools are now effortless to create and increase the fly wheel effect of building. Now you have custom harnesses, custom shell scripts, automated workflow, etc all made in minutes

@Its_BS @martinmbauer College Degrees if anything might lose all their remaining value. People only go to college for the recruitment companies these days which come there.

@Kushal_py @martinmbauer Re: ""AI " do you mean text generation" Just the text generation, but soon they'll be able to do 3Blue1Brown type tutorials. Re: "Just like youtube didn't replace teachers AI won't either." Yes, decent MIT courseware and such...

In other news: Car company CEO gives 50% chance we’ll be driving flying cars within 2–3 years.

@Tynach @premun_ @nickycakes @notch Hey thanks for stating that dystopian reality, you really care about this, and yeah you guys are correct. Things are going in an inevitable direction aren't they.

@Kushal_py @premun_ @nickycakes @notch … them, means you have failed to look objectively at all of the evidence available for whether or not you should use them.

My whole career I've been meeting devs with strong edgy negative opinions about tools they've been using. I always thought they had some innate insight and saw through something. Today, I'm of the opinion they just couldn't utilize tools to their max including their weak spots.
