🤩 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱! ⤵️ Thank you @Hiteshdotcom & @piyushgarg_dev sir for appreciating the way I’m maintaining my GitHub streaks and consistency during the cohort. Even now, months later, that motivation still drives me. (A thread 🧵)…. #ChaiAurCohort

(2/2) 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀✍🏻: ⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺ ⇢ State of AI in 2026 ⇢ LLMs, GenAI & Agents ⇢ Agents vs traditional apps ⇢ Inngest & orchestration ⇢ Agentic workflow patterns ⇢ Logging with Winston & Morgan ⇢ Monitoring & observability #notes

🤖 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 Today's session with @Hiteshdotcom & @piyushgarg_dev Sir wasn't about prompting models. It was about building reliable AI systems around them. #AI #GenAI #Inngest #ChaiCode

⇢ Monorepo vs polyrepo architecture ⇢ Shared packages and symlinks ⇢ tRPC and typed communication between frontend/backend ⇢ Why people use RPC over REST in some systems Here are the 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 ✍🏻: ⇢ Shared types, autocomplete, and compile-time safety #notes

🧠 “𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽” 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱… Today’s class was a proper monorepo + tRPC deep dive. @piyushgarg_dev sir casually dropping principal engineer level stuff again. #WebDev #TypeScript #tRPC #Monorepo #Backend #ChaiCode

@devwithjay @yntpdotme @Hiteshdotcom @piyushgarg_dev @ChaiCodeHQ It was fun session Jay Bhaiya but AK sir somehow finds a way to make it personal every single time 💀😭

🎵 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟯 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀 ⚛️ Today’s class with @yntpdotme was packed with things that looked simple… until they weren’t 😭 Me to React: “Main tera, main tera…” #ReactJS #Frontend #WebDev #ChaiCode

@Ved_PandeyOG @yntpdotme @Hiteshdotcom @piyushgarg_dev @ChaiCodeHQ

@devwithjay @yntpdotme @Hiteshdotcom @piyushgarg_dev @ChaiCodeHQ Logo ko dekh ke lag raha hai sabse single ham hi hain 🥲

⚛️ 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 Went deeper today with @Hiteshdotcom & @piyushgarg_dev into how React actually works behind the scenes instead of just using it. #ReactJS #Frontend #WebDev #ChaiCode

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 ✍🏻: ⇢ Built forms using both manual state & hook-based approach ⇢ Learned how event handling actually works ⇢ Object spread + dynamic keys finally made sense ⇢ Validation & cleaner form handling using hooks #notes

⚛️ 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 Today’s class with @Hiteshdotcom & @piyushgarg_dev Sir went deeper into handling forms and structuring apps properly. Also saw how small decisions in structure make code easier to scale later #ReactJS #Frontend #WebDev #ChaiCode

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 ✍🏻: ⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺ ⇢ JSX and component-based structure ⇢ Props and reusable components ⇢ Virtual DOM and efficient rendering ⇢ useState and how state drives UI updates #notes

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 ⚛️ Today’s session with @Hiteshdotcom and @piyushgarg_dev Sir was a solid introduction to how modern UI actually works. Shift from static pages to dynamic UI #ReactJS #Frontend #WebDevelopment #ChaiCode

• Kafka basics, brokers, topics and partitions • Producers and consumer groups • How data moves through streams • Real-time location updates on a live map • Kafka + sockets + database flow • Why Kafka helps in high throughput systems #notes

🚀 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗞𝗮𝗳𝗸𝗮 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 Today’s class was wild, we built a live map system using Kafka and saw event streaming in action. Best part was seeing a distributed systems concept turn into an actual working project. #Kafka #Backend #WebDev #ChaiCode

• WebSocket scaling with Redis Pub/Sub • Why local state breaks with multiple servers • Load balancers routing users across servers • Redis for shared state and rate limiting • Horizontal scaling in practice • Pub/Sub vs read/write servers discussion #notes #WebSocket

🔌 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 Today’s class went from building with WebSockets to thinking about scale. Started with socket servers, then moved into what happens when one server is not enough @piyushgarg_dev Sir absolutely cooked today 🔥 #WebDev #Redis #ChaiCode

• Research market salary before talking numbers • Start positive, don’t complain • Clearly state your ask with reason • Stay silent and let them respond • Be flexible beyond just salary #notes

💰 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 Learned when to negotiate (after offer, before signing) and how to actually say it without sounding awkward. #Career #SalaryNegotiation #WebDev #ChaiCode

• Understood how WebSockets keep a persistent connection • Learned full-duplex communication (both client & server can send data anytime) • Difference between polling vs WebSockets • How events work (emit, listen) • Built a simple chat application from scratch #notes

💭 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 Today we moved beyond HTTP and into WebSockets with @Hiteshdotcom and @piyushgarg_dev Sir. #Backend #WebSockets #NodeJS #ChaiCode
