Commencing "Life version 3.0".

@neerajjj6785 You said, you can't change infra... Why are all people adding more servers, cache layers, queues etc in the replies?

Interviewer: Your API works perfectly with 1K users. It falls apart at 100K. You can't change the infrastructure. What would you use to fix it?

@Cartidise I guess it wasn't designed for that. The purpose nis diffrent. But I do understand where you're coming from.

@CoderUday Be careful what you wish for. Ask your grandfather and great grandfather. They were probably there for 2 world wars.

I watched The Odyssey movie Man.. I wish I was born in ancient Greece No office.. No salary...No Manager...No EMIs... Full Patriarchy Win a war & get fame, money, life time settlement. Lost a war? peaceful death. But I was born in most boring generation... no war.. no adventure... only meetings & traffic Men are born to do the war... not sit in front a computer Tomorrow is Monday & I don't want to go to office😭

@KelvinPraises @LilithLovett No. The quality doesn't matter. People will start tracking it using certificate and all. Quality is not in question, scarcity is. When you do that, it'll be just like how we measure other stuff in gold using caret.

@hackt1v1st @LilithLovett Your diamond analogy fails because diamonds can't be combined. You can *meld* Earth gold and Alien gold together. Once they are fused, there are no 'two categories' anymore it’s just gold.

"b-but it'll make gold useless" Good, based even. You have any idea how much our world can fundamentally change for the better overnight if gold became as abundant as aluminum? When we can use it freely for utility? It'd vastly improve every aspect of society in a month, weeks.

@igor_os777 I find Gemini to be better for chatting and learning evergreen timeless topics compared to ChatGPT.

@Surendar__05 Postgres for ACID And Dynamo for BASE Of course the answer is - it depends. But those will be my first choice. Then will let the system design guide me by dictating the DB guarantees I need.

Be honest Which database is worth using in 2026?

@SakshiSugandhi VOIP Hey, there is this thing call Google. 🥴

Ever thought about this? International calls can cost $0.1 to $1 per minute. But the same call on WhatsApp is basically free. How does WhatsApp avoid all those international charges?

@Priyansh_31Dec It's the same thing here.

Who is benefiting from using Instagram? IMO it is just a slop generating machine with the only aim of getting you to waste your time, exhaust yourself and feel worse about yourself, all while being shown ads. I waste a lot of time on it too and I blame myself for being pulled in to use it so much. There is a stark difference between my ability to focus on things for longer when I compare my current self with the 4 years younger self.

@dssagar93 @swapnakpanda Yup...

@swapnakpanda 3 categories of people with 3 different experiences in my experience 1. US manager who is non-Indian - Always polite and similar to what you have shown 2. US manager who has moved from India - Worst class people, arrogant 3. Indian manager - most are complete shit with exceptions

An Indian employee wanted to be OOO daily for 3 hours to take care of his 7-months old baby. He requested his US manager. Manager's reply would shock you. Is it possible in Indian workplaces?

@Cartidise I don't like that it mixes up YouTube and YouTube music stuff.

YouTube Music is SO underrated > Free with YouTube Premium (otherwise $10.99) > Insanely huge music library > The best recommendations algorithm > GOATED search. Can search any part of the song and it’ll surely find it > The UI is decent and works fine without any major bugs yeah, Apple Music is prettier… but is that really worth giving up YT Music’s insane search and recommendations? 🙂‍↕️

@Oblivious9021 No. We have solved this many years ago. Using SSL encryption and certificate authorities.

Shocking fact: Every time you use cafe WiFi someone on the same network can see everything you type. Passwords. Bank details. Everything. No hacking required. Just the same WiFi password on your receipt. When did you last check your bank on public WiFi?

@rajgupta7813589 @Bitwarden and there is no reason not to.

what's one app you think everyone should use and why?

@RealBobbyPlays For me def. I can aim better on glass that on a stick.

I always see controller players talking about mobile having "built in aim bot" I promise if you put 5 mobile pro's against 5 controller pro's and turned off aim assist the mobile pro's would run them easily Not a diss to roller players either, mobile is just the superior input

@techbharat Android is getting shittier too. We're losing the freedom there.

Do you prefer Apple's locked ecosystem or Android/Windows open ecosystem?

@Pallavi_345 I mean, have you been to the Linux GitHub recently?

Why are vibe coders mostly web developers? Genuine question. You rarely hear people vibe coding kernels, databases, compilers, or distributed systems.

@thesinghsonia @zomato Nope. Vegitarian people do not understand that inherently anything they pick up off of shelf is technically non veg. Even if it has veg sign on it. Simply because you can't keep insects etc away from food on a factory scale. And that's why you're getting lectured

Ordered non-veg, got veg instead via @zomato...Do I get to create the same level of kalesh that happens when a vegetarian is served non-veg, or does it only work one way? 🤔

@SakshiSugandhi Yes. But it's broken into smaller chunks.

Interviewer: YouTube lets you switch between 1080p, 720p, 360p... Does the server store a separate full video for every quality?

@VazeKshitij Most likely on ethanol.

Bro what is he on?

@brian_lovin Zoom has that correct? And I believe MS Teams has that too. I'd much rather wish for an AI agent which can attend the meetings on my behalf. Especially the boring meetings where I am less important. 😂

Someone should make an app to record meetings with automatic AI transcripts. Underexplored space rn.
