the man who made half of us techies







Told my founder how juggling 3- 4 things daily is starting to affect engineering quality. and my health also . The reply? ‘Welcome to startups.’ Followed by, ‘Also, can you take out time today late night for one more thing?😂 Like …..

Lately, I’ve realized that some of my recent work hasn’t been up to the mark not because anyone pointed it out, but through my own observations. I noticed that a few of the APIs I’ve written don’t handle edge cases as well as they should, and in some areas, the design could’ve been much cleaner or more thought through. It’s been bothering me, so I took a step back to reflect on what’s causing this. And honestly, I think it comes down to how I’ve been working lately. I’m currently handling three backend services switching constantly between fixing bugs, pushing daily updates, and building new features. On top of that, I’m involved in planning and timelines for a fourth service, and there are already new feature asks piling up. With so much context switching and very tight timelines, I rarely get time to sit with a problem, think through design decisions, or ensure edge cases and test coverage are solid. I’m moving fast, but not always in the right direction. I care deeply about what we’re building and I want to ship quality work and do my best but at the end of the day I’m feeling tired on most of the part . And like I already know what I have to do for the next 5 months . And truthfully, this has been sitting heavy on my mind. It’s not just about a few lines of missed logic it’s the feeling of slipping standards, of not being able to bring my best to the table. It’s started making even the daily standups feel more stressful than productive. I’m sharing this here because I want to get better, and because I’m trying to figure out how others navigate this how do you protect time for deep work and maintain quality when you’re juggling so much at once? Would really love y’all helps here @realankush @arpit_bhayani @kirat_tw @Hiteshdotcom as you guys are handling multiple things at once how do you make sure it’s not missing things or there are not many gaps ?

this error is coming, i have tried everything, any idea @kirat_tw @sargampoudel @anurag__kochar @git_cuber or anyone? my code is exactly same as this: gist.github.com/hkirat/3694871…


Another hot take: Your frontend should dictate your API not the backend. If you backend engineers are defining your API response data you're gonna have a bad time.
