Vedant Agarwal

worked at a 3d ai startup based out in the Bay Area as a founding engineer for the past 1.5 years, graduating bits on the 26th this month. recently left the startup to try to get back to basics of DSA, system design, pure hand written code more so, not cause AI is a hoax or anything just cause i believe u cant grow urself by just raising money for your own startup or vibe coding at any company without knowing why to even take the smallest decisions from an architectural or technical standpoint. there is a lot still left for me to explore in the tech domain relating to AI and FD based engineer roles, which i will be considering in my roadmap as well. i do miss trying to find and fix bugs myself sometimes, the pain of it haunting you at nights when u cant solve it. m going back to try to start things the right way, i am quite happy with the work ive done over the past 2.5 years within my college time frame, but i hope to try to land a good job in the US over the course of the next few months.

@saarth_ thats just crazy

No reason to believe this shmuck. He was selling OpenAI Sora access codes on Gumroad in October for some change. Also, he has used this ragebait approach before. Read the full investigation here: atlas.sixtyfour.ai/share/5nbHbcTb…

@NischalSkanda @a_fresh_shinobi yup when they introduced prime mini into it omg 😭😭

@a_fresh_shinobi They had it worse this is far better than what they had couple of months ago!

Amazon has the worst UX out of any shopping app. 🥀

Not sure if AI will take my job. But I’m pretty sure that without AI, I wouldn’t have one.

@AsideAI for the win

This is a brilliant ad. It goes on to show that a brand’s identity is beyond just the logo. It’s about how you show up every single day. Great work Kotak Mahindra Bank. Seriously impressive 👏🏻

so true

really freaking smooth to talk

@DimpleAroro23s del

I’m a Linux user, just installed Windows for the first time What should I do first?

@venkateshdotdev could be, depends how strong is it

@vdnt29 So a single project, collaborated with team is enough 🤔

Do recruiters prefer candidates with one strong project, or several average ones? I've heard different opinions.

@Himanshugoelyt cap.so - got recommended to use it pretty fucking good

Is Screen Studio worth it? Any free/cheaper alternatives?

@ed_moraaaa @praj_kesi dmed u

@vdnt29 @praj_kesi Wow that’s great, thank you, I would like it a lot😊

i'm 19 and i just booked a non-refundable flight to san francisco to go build.

@praj_kesi @ed_moraaaa have a friend who moved for the same couple months back can connect you

@ed_moraaaa Hey Edoardo, I barely do actually, I sent you a dm tho!

agreed

@buildwithdk @omkar_ramgirwar till an extent i think ones who how to guide ai i think do much better

@vdnt29 @omkar_ramgirwar Well ai is making people dumb and prodcutive both

Do you think DSA is worth learning today ?

mad happy with the @AsideAI team had an issue with Netflix and Prime video not supported on their browser i think due to some chromium version issue. got fixed within a day, pretty solid fast-pace resolution for such a small team.

@buildwithdk @omkar_ramgirwar i think its more abt getting problem solving on track with every putting out ai slops people dk what they’re coding

@omkar_ramgirwar How much have you been using it on daily basis in jobs or personal apps

@AntrikshKatna need both

Dumbest debate in tech : DSA VS DEV

@OjasSharma276 yupp, most of sd interviews i came across boils down to not heavily on just the services used together based on the problem statement, but more on the WHY at every step

Understanding URL Shorteners. One thing I understood is that when an interviewer asks about a URL shortener, they want to know whether you understand how unique IDs are generated in distributed systems.
