we want to build tools to augment and elevate people, not entities to replace them.

@imNiKkiiY You’re not alone. Over-relying on AI turns you from a thinker into a button-presser. Tools should amplify your brain not replace it.

22, and overusing AI is starting to mess with my brain. For the past 6 months, I’ve had 6–8 Claude Code terminals open daily… just waiting for responses so I can hit “enter” most of the time. And something feels off. In conversations with friends, we’ve all noticed it we don’t feel as sharp as we used to. Maybe it’s just us. Maybe it’s a bigger shift happening. But it’s been on my mind a lot. (And yeah, this isn’t Claude’s fault it’s how we’re using it.)

@imNiKkiiY @X @nikitabier Anyone else faced this issue recently? Trying to understand what might have triggered it

I worked hard to get monetized on X… And today, my Revenue Sharing got removed. Reason? “Violations.” But no clear explanation. This is frustrating. 🧵👇 @X @nikitabier

@imNiKkiiY Bold take 👀 but history doesn’t repeat that neatly. OpenAI ≠ guaranteed Google Anthropic ≠ doomed Yahoo AI race isn’t just about “who’s first” It’s about distribution, ecosystem, and staying power. 2002 had one winner. 2026 might have multiple.

@imNiKkiiY Hot take, but accurate.LeetCode isn’t the problem mindless grinding is. DSA builds thinking, not just answers.Solve less, understand more: Explain your approach, build projects, connect patterns to real systems.Otherwise, you’re training memory not engineering skill.

Unpopular opinion: LeetCode is a waste of time. Not because DSA doesn't matter. Because you're using it wrong. You're solving 1000 problems but: → Can't explain your approach out loud → Never built a single real project → Have zero System Design knowledge → Copy patterns without understanding WHY LeetCode didn't fail you. Your strategy did.

Interviewer: "What's your biggest weakness?" Me (internally): → Procrastination? No. → Overthinking? No. → Netflix? DEFINITELY no. Me (out loud): "I sometimes take on too much because I hate leaving things incomplete." Interviewer: 😊 Me internally: 😂 Master the game or the game masters you.

Everyone says "contribute to Open Source." Nobody tells you HOW to actually start. I was scared for months. Thought I wasn't good enough. Here's the exact beginner roadmap I wish I had step by step, no gatekeeping 🧵👇

Everyone is rushing to build “AI agents” But this video hits different. “Slow the f*ck down.” Stop chasing hype. Start building things you actually understand. This is the mindset most devs are missing in 2026. Watch this before you touch another AI tool 👇

Be honest Why haven't you contributed to Open Source yet? 👇 🔴 "I'm not good enough yet" 🟡 "I don't know where to start" 🟢 "No time, busy with college" 🔵 "I actually have contributed!"

@imNiKkiiY Short answer Don’t chase titles chase skill depth Software Engineering = more stable + broader opportunities Data Science = high upside but higher competition + math heavy AI won’t replace either it will replace average people in both Pick the one you can go deep in for 5+year

Data Science vs Software Engineering in 2026. Which one should you actually choose? I broke it down completely salaries, job market, AI impact, future scope, everything. This thread will save you months of confusion 🧵👇

If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. The bar didn't just rise… it multiplied.

@imNiKkiiY 100% projects show what you can build, not just what you can solve. Curious which 5 made the biggest difference?

Everyone told me to grind LeetCode. Nobody told me these 5 projects would do more for my career than 1,000+ LC problems ever did. I built these. Got noticed. Got opportunities. Here's exactly what I built and why it worked 🧵👇

@imNiKkiiY This is it 💯 no magic, just process done rightCracking Microsoft wasn’t about being the smartest… it was about being intentional 😤Most people chase more questions. Winners fix their mistakes.Placements aren’t luck they’re feedback loops + consistency 🚀🔥

How my friend cracked Microsoft and what you can learn from it 🧵 He wasn't a genius coder He wasn't a college topper In fact, he spent most of his time feeling like he was behind. Here's what actually worked for him 👇 ───────────────────── ✅ Practiced one topic at a time No jumping around. Just deep focus on one thing until it clicked. ✅ Gave multiple mock interviews With seniors and alumni not just solo grinding. ✅ Focused on clean, explainable code Not just code that works. Code you can walk through confidently. ✅ Revised mistakes instead of chasing new problems Most people solve 500 problems. He mastered his mistakes. ✅ Treated every rejection as feedback Asked himself "Where exactly did I mess up?" That one question gave direction to everything. ───────────────────── But here's the hard truth Learning from YOUR OWN rejections is expensive. It costs you time. Confidence. Opportunities. He had no choice but to learn the hard way. You don't have to ───────────────────── There's an ex-Google engineer Ajay Yadava 15 years of real industry experience. He's running a live cohort for only 20 people covering: 📌 DSA Training 📌 System Design (HLD + LLD) 📌 Mock Interviews 📌 Resume Help 150+ SDEs have already cracked offers from: Microsoft | Meta | Amazon Packages going up to 3.5 CR 💰 ───────────────────── Microsoft is not a dream. It's a plan executed right. 🚀 Which is YOUR target company? Drop it below 👇 ♻️ Repost so your CSE friends preparing for placements see this 🔖 Save this you'll need it later 👇 Drop your dream company below I'll share prep tips for that too!
