As much as I hate paying for seats, this is not a good move

I’ll give my take, both the large national parties of our country are economically right, where they try to control prices for brownie points or whatever reason. Free market forces when nudged like this without thinking of consequences almost always end up hurting consumers. Case in point, till late 1980s cement distribution and pricing was controlled centrally, this led to artificial shortages, lack in quality, even lack of innovation in the space

@sparwani There’s a trust deficit in play here, ethics always erodes in a low trust society

India is a “the ends justify the means” society
In other cultures, people have principles that act as guardrails against unethical behavior. In India, there are no guardrails. You do what you need to do to achieve your goals, even if you have to sacrifice basic ethics to get there
And this of course applies to Indian employers as well. After all, they are Indian and also believe that the ends justify the means. Indian employers are just as unethical as Indian employees
Back to this specific example. It definitely is unethical to sign an offer letter and continue interviewing elsewhere. Signing an offer letter is a promise to someone to join.
In other countries it’s much less common to sign offer letters and continue interviewing elsewhere - because in those countries people value their word. Whatever gain they get from shopping an offer letter isn’t offset by the ick they’d feel throwing away their dignity and morals for a slightly higher pay
In India that guardrail does not exist. The average Indian is not bothered with dignity or morals. Both employees and employers
Sad society we live in
Jasveer Singh@jasveer10
Interviewed a backend developer. Guy was at 21 LPA. We offered 28 LPA, roughly a 33 percent hike. He agreed and confirmed joining. Yesterday he emailed saying he got a 32 LPA offer elsewhere and now wants 36 LPA from us. Nonsense. Why agree in the first place. If you are still shopping offers just say it upfront. We stopped interviewing other candidates and waited through the notice period for the joining date. Now two days before joining, he came back with a new price tag.

Hitting 100 signups in a day used to feel impossible.
But last week? Every single day brought 100+ signups. 🎉
Next goal: 200

Hey @makemytrip @makemytripcare none of your support channels are working, no replies on email or X DMs, how does one get support here?

@rushabh_mehta @nasscom Hope to see lesser suits in the photo someday. A win is a win though, really happy to see Frappe there :) Congratulations

Accepting this award with mixed feelings. One on hand I am happy to see @nasscom finally acknowledge open source when they have been ideologically opposed to it (or just ignorant) for a long time. On the other hand, it feels too little too late. The services gravy train has stopped and the industry needs to reinvent itself.
If NASSCOM really cared about "technology", they would have embraced FOSS, a legit force multiplier for the ecosystem, a long time ago. Beyond the awards, there was no attempt to engage or find deeper synergies with software product companies. The few talks I attended were happy to pay respect to the political narrative (with government being a big customer).
Innovation, sadly, continues to be a loser.

“53% Elastomultiester, 47% Polyester” for ₹2599 pants which have 7 pockets but with that fit idk how anything is going squeeze into them, including the human being.
But then, no wonder my tailor fucked up my initial fit because “all guys ask for this”. 😐🤷♂️

18 months of testing One conclusion: @myblissclub Men is a game changer I’ve spent the last 18 months living in @myblissclub menswear prototypes. Being part of the journey from early samples to the final launch has been an eye-opener. What Blissclub does differently is everyday comfort . Their new “Legendary” range —it’s for the active life we actually lead and at the same time insanely comfortable. Soft fabrics, functional fits, and the same DNA that made them a household name for women. Proud to have played a small part in the testing phase. I’ve been a lululemon ABC pants users for years, I’ve not worn a pair of jeans for more than 5 years. I have now switched to the Blissclub pants, I love that these pants easily have become my most comfortable pair of pants that fit me incredibly well, given that they have built this for the Indian body. Great job team @myblissclub

Day 7 of tracking my formally registered footpath complaint.
Progress: No update on the e-grievance portal.
In just 13 months, this footpath in Koramangala, Bengaluru went from being walkable to hazardous.
It is now an open, unwalkable pit full of sitting water and litter.

Day 6 of tracking my formally registered footpath complaint. Progress: No update on the e-grievance portal. This spot outside of Koramangala Indoor Stadium has been an unofficial dustbin since Nov 2024 per Google Maps. Sorry if I'm annoying y'all with these daily posts.

Search just got a big upgrade 🚀 It is now faster and support filters.
You can now filter messages by sender, inbox, and time range in Global Search. This makes it easy to run precise queries, like finding messages that mention “refund” from a specific customer over the last two weeks.

Stripe: You pay a dispute fee.
Also Stripe: If you fight the dispute, you pay another fee. If you win, we will give it back.
How are you dealing with chargebacks today?
I usually do not bother fighting them since it is often just 1 month subscription. But in this case, the customer disputed the last 5 months and is still actively using the product.
Do you always submit evidence, or just move on Curious what the standard practice looks like.
