I promised my audience a very different long form experience after 1M subscribers. Get ready. P.S: This video is probably what the future of storytelling is. Some of this video was shot with cameras and real actors/props and some parts were AI. Can you tell which parts?

🚨 Product Announcement: VideoVault The Aeos ecosystem produces 100s of videos each month. One shoot involves 100GB+ of cinema grade footage. As the world moves to 4K, file sizes are increasing. Yet most teams are still using SSDs/Cloud for storage & organisation (we were too!)

What sort of side projects can I make that will look great on my resume as a SDE1 / SDE ? ​ I keep coming across this question a lot, and I thought I will make a post about some of the side projects I made over the years. ​ Don't make projects for your Resume ​ I mean, yeah having great side projects helps a lot of on your profile. I have been asked to join companies, and offered a few jobs solely on the basis of some of my side projects (without any interviews or anything else), simply because the projects are proof of work in themselves. But you can't calculate back from that outcome and try to make projects considering what projects you can most easily and quickly build on your resume that will help you in interviews - what really happens is everyone ends up making the same Twitter clones and Ecommerce websites, making your resume quite the opposite of "stand out" ​ What should motivate making a side project? ​ Frankly, 'just make what interests you the most' is good advice, but it is a bit too unqualified and unspecific to take seriously. When you are getting started, making a couple of generic twitter clone / ecom websites are fine too, to get your wheels rolling. Beyond that I'll say that you should focus on personal itches and try to use side projects as a vehicle to learn new things (can be new languages, new tech stacks or frameworks, trying to work with new types of databases, or new ways to host your infra etc).

Y Combinator:

What am I doing last 5 months?

Directly exposing database to internet, even if with insane level of security, is a security and data breach time bomb... but new age devs love it.
