@cvam01 @LittlebirdAI Super 🔥

I'm one of the engineers on @LittlebirdAI Deep research mode still surprises me! skips everything it knows i already know, goes straight to what i actually need. every other tool researches for whoever asked, this one researches for you.

🚀 My friends at Whattaplace are hiring Software Engineering Interns! Passionate about building, learning fast, and making real impact? This is your chance. Apply here 👉 forms.gle/54zDXVpGAo5XiH… Tag/DM anyone who might be interested 🙌 #Hiring #Internship

@championswimmer Yeah, makes sense

@samadnotyouryar The small native binary deployments is a great advantage though. Runtime or VM type languages ends up being flaky when maintaining large production systems (increases infra/sre friction a bit over time)

I hate Go and Java both because of how verbose your code becomes When you start writing code with AI, you realise that the verbosity in Go is because of primitiveness in language and verbosity in Java is because the 'culture' of the language is rotten. Once AI-autocomplete writes a lot of code for you, Go stops feeling verbose. But Java still feels verbose even when you write with AI. You do not need to start writing code with AI to reach this conclusion. Anyone who studies the nature of programming languages, compiler theory and design of code, can explain you in non-AI terms as well - that the verbosity of Go comes from lack of syntatic sugar, but the verbosity in Java comes from deliberate cultural issues in the ecosystem. The later is much worse than the former. But when you write with AI - the difference lays bare much more readily.

Excited to share I joined @letsblinkit last month as a Software Engineer🚀 Moving from an early-stage startup to India’s largest quick commerce platform has been humbling. Grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to building, learning & unlearning!

@tensorflawed The sheet came a few years back. Software engineering jobs have been around for ages.

50 lpa+ btw

Debugged some failing tests for an hour only to discover that it wasnt just me, the whole #python world was on fire -> github.com/pypa/setuptool…

@Priyansh_31Dec Thats how some non-tech people view engineers and they are not at fault. Every department is held accountable. Sales bring money, marketing brings distribution. Everyone has to meet some goals as a "resource" to the org. The resource becomes an asset if they prove themselves.

I was talking to a friend (with no tech experience) today who wanted to hire a full stack developer for their new startup. In our conversation they referred to a developer as a resource multiple times and it felt terrible.

@ThePrimeagen without using vanilla GPT ?

i am going to rewrite neovim in vanilla typescript and vanilla react

@Dhavalsingh7 Is FE/FullStack hiring difficult because of the devs not matching the expected bar or the devs asking for higher salaries than the budget? Just curious? P.S. I have seen front end dev hiring take super long compared to backend devs.

I never thought hiring a FE focused full stack dev(2-4 yrs exp) for a early stage startup would be this hard, given everyone is cribing how bad the market is, orgs not responding and stuff...

@tanyarajhans7 10x Guaranteed returns in a few hour 😅

@dhruvagga Bruh, wild!

People in India who couldn't book the Coldplay tickets yet.. I have something for you. I'm giving away middlewarehq.com access free for this year - without restrictions! Make this Sunday count for you - comment to get access! 🚀

@VipinDevelops @nodejs @reactjs @GraphQL @honeypot you should, pretty inspirational!

@samadnotyouryar @nodejs @reactjs @GraphQL @honeypot Will checkout it out too.

Binged the @nodejs, @reactjs and @GraphQL documentaries by @honeypot. Its crazy to think how these ambitious project by a handful of super smart engineers shaped the tech industry over the past 10 years. Imagine your next project having an industry wide impact🤯

@mysticwillz Your Backend APIs should be paginated to avoid excessive data transfer (leading to higher latency) and running out of memory on the server/db. Your front end should support pagination so that the user has a better experience while going through this data. So the answer is both :)

Should Pagination be done on the Backend or The Frontend?

@striver_79 Anyone buying these subscriptions are shooting themselves in the foot. LeetCode + free youtube videos + good projects are enough to crack those interviews.

This is going to tell you how low can some people go!! Breaking down the entire agenda that was run against TUf+ 25th Aug: Raghav Garg (assumingly a fake alias) took our subscription. 27th August: YT video with the same id was posted, but smartly, they did not show the practice portal, and tried to show as if the offering under TUf+ was only videos. Trying to set a wrong narrative. 27th August: Multiple reddit posts, in hope that one picks up, which happens when you go negative. 10th Sept: Same id records another video on 10th August 2:00 PM and uploads it, stating “I bought the course 2 days back and my experience has been bad”. The id has not attempted a single problem when we checked our db. Also he bought the course on 25th August. Try to focus on the tone of the voice, you will have a hint ;) 10th Sept: 5/6 fake twitter id’s started posting around this. Spamming the same video links everywhere. We know the first week was tough on our end, due to which few people were upset. We got unexpected enrollments, and the tech did break down. Post then, we have had 0 down time. We understand that we cannot keep everyone happy when we get enrollments that high and that is the case with every product out there. Grow up, focus on creating something better for everyone out there. Cheers! PS: We only blame Raghav Garg for all this!

@OpenAI Cant wait to test this out!

We're releasing a preview of OpenAI o1—a new series of AI models designed to spend more time thinking before they respond. These models can reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding, and math. openai.com/index/introduc…

@heymattia Lets goo, I see a "spend 2 days debugging to save 2hrs of UTs" gang member 🚀🥳

- I push directly to production - I don't write tests - and I'll become profitable with my startups anyway ✌️ YOLO 👊

@que_tourist Imagine if Tourist starts selling DSA courses 😅

Topcoder paused their competitions, so I had to go for another 4000.

@shadcn Amazing!

Introducing the new CLI. Install anything from anywhere—add components, themes, hooks, functions, animations, and generated code to your apps. This marks a major step forward in distributing code that both you and your LLMs can access and use. Let’s take a look.
