@Narayani07 It’s a two way failure. The redflag might be the HR. If they can’t manage a conversation in an interview, how are they managing hiring decisions, onboarding, or difficult employee conversations?

Candidate spent forty minutes in the interview explaining why they left their last company. Zero minutes explaining what they actually did there. The exit story was beautifully rehearsed. The work history was a mystery novel with no ending.

Summer is july-Aug. May came out of syllabus.

$NVTS looking good

@livingdevops CTC Is temporary. EMI is not.

Banks approve 30 year loans. Companies can’t guarantee 30 weeks.

@devops_nk If you’re relying only on LinkedIn ! NGMI. Use Boolean search on LinkedIn: * exclude staffing/consulting firms * target direct company postings Then apply through the company’s actual careers portal. GMI

@randomrecruiter People Incentive Plan 🙂

@SwapsRunsIt Now it’s called a PIP

POV: Your camera's been off for 47 minutes and the meeting is still going strong

@randomrecruiter That’s the hidden part no one talks about.

@SwapsRunsIt I did a management job for like a month. Stepped back down when I realized I didn’t want to deal with anyone else’s problems lol

The best career advice I got from my first mentor: Don't go into management. Stay an IC. At first I thought he was wrong. We're taught at a young age that "success" is a fancy title and a ton of people that report to you. It turns out he was right. Middle management is the most dangerous seat in corporate America. Simply put, it's much harder to replace a top performer doing the actual hands on work, vs. someone someone overseeing it. As a top performing IC, I made more than the managers above me on commission alone. And I had more leverage, because I was a top producer who could point to a number to show literally how valuable I was to the company. When business goes south, companies don't fire the people building the product or closing the deals. They fire the people scheduling meetings about the product. This guy at Meta survived the round but got converted back to IC and he's calling it "suboptimal." It's not. It's the safer seat, especially in this market. He just doesn't see it yet. Tie your name to a number or tie it to code. Everything else is overhead.

Indus Valley Script Decoded? Here is a conversation with Dr Rao (@yajnadevam) on his groundbreaking discovery!

Akanksha Sehgal, an Instagram influencer who dances on social media for views. She is unmarried and has an estrogen-maxxed dad. Now she has made being unmarried and having an estrogen-maxxed dad her whole personality. I would have ignored it, but she is directly looking down on women who are married and minding their own business. This reel went very viral, and even news channels are supporting her. Why do unmarried Indian women make being unmarried their entire personality and try to look down on women who are married and living a modest life? Is posting on social media to prove that she is having fun something progressive? Women who try to prove that they are happy are always the most depressed and jealous ones.

@devops_nk All these required to meet the defined RTO and RPO targets.

Let's understand DR now: 👇 DR (Disaster Recovery) is a strategy used to recover applications, servers, databases, or entire infrastructure when a failure or outage happens. Companies do DR to reduce downtime, prevent data loss, and keep services running during incidents like server crashes, cloud outages, cyber attacks, or data center failures. Common DR strategies companies use 👇 Active-Passive: • Primary DC handles all traffic • Secondary DC stays on standby • During failure, traffic is switched manually/automatically Active-Active: • Both DCs serve live traffic together • Load balancer splits traffic across regions • Better availability but more complex to manage DR Drill / Rotation Testing: Some teams intentionally route traffic like this: Day 1 → DC1 handles traffic Day 2 → DC2 handles traffic Day 3 → Active-Active mode Why? Because DR only works if you test it regularly in production-like scenarios. Things usually tested during DR: • Database replication • Kubernetes failover • DNS/LB switching • Application latency • Session handling • Cache synchronization • Monitoring & alerts • Rollback strategy I hope it helps the people who heard the word 'DR' for the first time.

If you're working on AI, start building a skill registry and version it. Your agents should know nothing by default. Spin them up fresh and pull only the specific skills they need, the same way you pull an image from a Docker registry. Your workflow will thank you. Agree or am I off?

Today we're announcing our Series C funding: $355M at a $4.65B valuation, led by some great investors @generalcatalyst and @Redpoint. We've had insane growth in the last year, but we're still very early. So proud of the team and what we have built so far!

@caraksha103 Situations influence people, no doubt. But employees also need to be smart enough to recognize patterns early. At the end of the day, you work for your own growth. Understand your manager’s interest and align

A bad manager can sabotage an employee’s whole career. And it happens more than you think.

@devops_nk Good for you. You will learn full recovery chain.

I am working today because we have a DR activity planned for the IDL application and I am doing it. Hope everything goes smooth 🤞 BTW, what’s your strategy for handling DR in your project ? (DR = Disaster Recovery)

@2147mill 🙋‍♂️

I’ve seen a lot of talk about $OUST recently. Does anyone here hold it? Tell me more about it?

My office was in mahadevapura. Was living in jpnagar and agree it’s way superior sarjapura + shr

@haha_girrrl None.

Tier 1 guy: "I grind 14 hours in Bangalore, burning 40k/month rent, oat milk latte at 6am, standup at 9, therapy at 7pm." Tier 3 guy: ships the same code from a ₹6000/month room, mom's food, zero commute, saves 80% of salary. Who's actually winning?
