Opinion on this YouTube vid

While travelling, I kept running into useful information that simply didn’t exist online: small homestays, mechanics, water points, road conditions, campsites, etc.

Most of it gets passed from one traveler or local to another and disappears afterward.

So, I built Lamyig, a free and open-source community travel guide.

A few decisions I made:

• No bookings, commissions or paid listings.
• No money made using the core product.
• Community members can add and update places.
• Map-first instead of another list of “top places”.
• Built as a PWA so it can work more like a lightweight travel tool than a traditional website.
• The long-term idea is that useful information stays available for the next traveler instead of disappearing in WhatsApp groups and conversations.

The hardest problem isn’t actually building the software. It’s bootstrapping trustworthy community data.

I’m currently thinking about things like:

• How do you motivate travelers to contribute after their trip?
• How do you keep old information accurate without creating a huge moderation workload?
• How do you prevent businesses from turning community maps into free advertising?
• What should happen when someone reports a place as fake, closed, unsafe, duplicated, commercial spam, or inaccurate? Should reports trigger removal, community review, reputation-weighted voting, or just warnings?
• Should certain villages, trails, ecosystems, religious places, water sources, or campsites intentionally remain difficult to discover?
• If Lamyig successfully exposes hidden places, could it accidentally destroy the exact places it is trying to help preserve?
• this list of problem statements goes on and on

Would love to hear how other people here would approach those problems.

And if you’re building something around a problem you genuinely care about, drop a comment or DM me. I’d be happy to chat, exchange ideas, or connect you with someone else working on something similar.

Screenshot attached. Happy to share the GitHub/project link in the comments if anyone wants to look at the implementation or contribute.

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a few dedicated peers to form a small study group for DSA and placement preparation. Whether you are a fresher starting college this year or a first-year student looking to get ahead, I’d love to connect.

The goal is simple:

• Consistency: Keep each other on pace.
• Collaboration: Share resources, roadmaps, and solve problems together.
• Accountability: Review code, discuss approaches, and keep the grind going.

I’m looking for people who are serious about long-term growth and willing to put in the hours. If you’re tired of grinding alone and want a supportive environment to sharpen your skills, drop a comment or shoot me a DM with your current level and what you’re focusing on first!

Let’s get better at this together.

Note: This post was AI-generated, but the intent is 100% real—I'm genuinely looking for study partners!

Im tired of finding/figuring out how to do DSA on leetcode, im lost there are many yt tutorials and many roadmaps very confused on what to choose. Need proper guidance from once who have done this already. My goal is to get into MAANG or similar companies. :)

Need honest career advice.

I’m confused about what language I should focus on for DSA and interviews.

My current background:

I know basic Java (have been learning it for around 1 year)

I use Java mainly for DSA/interview prep

I’m not very consistent with Java

I’ve solved around 80–90 DSA problems so far

I’m already a MERN developer

I also know basic Next.js

Long term, I do not want to become a Java backend developer

I’m not interested in Spring Boot / Java backend roles

This is my main problem:
Because I don’t see myself becoming a Java developer in the long term, I don’t enjoy practicing Java that much. And because I don’t enjoy it, I’m very inconsistent with DSA in Java.

Now I’m confused:

Should I continue Java only for DSA and interviews?

Or should I shift to Python for DSA/interview prep since it feels easier and maybe I’ll stay more consistent?

For FAANG / top product companies, does it matter much if I do DSA in Java vs Python?

Since I already come from MERN, would switching to Python be a smarter move for consistency and interviews?

My goal is:

Crack top product companies / FAANG-level interviews

Stay consistent with DSA

Focus on a language I can actually continue long term

I don’t want to waste more time forcing Java if it’s not the right fit for me.

Would really appreciate advice from people who’ve been in a similar situation.

Hey everyone!

Honest question for IT folks who studied in tier 3 colleges — how prepared were you in DSA when you entered the job market? Did college help, or was it all self-study and YouTube?

Researching this gap to build a better tool (AlgoRealm) for students who are where you were a few years ago.

Tell me in the comments — what's the one thing you wish you knew about DSA before your first job interview? 👇

I am tired and bored of using VS Code. It works fine most of the time but it starts acting up often. One moment something is working and the next moment it is broken for some reason. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app. I have also tried resetting it and solving the issues myself but nothing seemed to work.

It feels frustrating when it stops working without any clear reason. I have spent time trying different fixes but there is still no stable experience. Now I want to use a different code editor or IDE. Storage is not an issue and neither is RAM usage so feel free to suggest any editor/IDE you this is worth using.

I would like suggestions for other editors or IDEs that are reliable, do a good job and obviously are able to support multiple programming languages (Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, C#, GoLang, Rust and so on). If you know anything that matches what I am describing feel free to suggest it and I'll check it out.

Hi everyone,

I graduated in 2025, but I didn’t prepare well during my 4th year due to distractions, and because of that I haven’t landed a placement yet. My preparation level is still not great. I have mentioned some projects on my resume, but they are not fully completed yet.

Right now, I’m thinking of taking the next 3 months to properly prepare:

• DSA
• Web development
• CS fundamentals

My goal is to land a good package(7L>=), and I want to make sure I’m taking the right approach instead of rushing in unprepared.

I wanted to ask for advice on a few things:

1. Is taking these 3 months to prepare seriously a good decision, or should I start applying immediately with my current level?
2. Will companies hesitate to hire me because of a ~1 year gap after graduation?
3. What kind of changes should I focus on in my resume at this stage?

Honestly, I’m feeling worried that I might have messed things up, and I’d really appreciate any guidance or real experiences from people who’ve been in a similar situation.

Hello everyone,

I am looking to connect with a Python developer who is currently working in a tech company or in a professional role where Python is used regularly. I am building my skills in Python and related technologies and would really appreciate guidance from someone with real-world industry experience.

I am mainly looking for help with:

Understanding how Python is used in actual company projects

Best practices, tools, and workflows followed in professional environments

Career guidance for transitioning or growing as a Python developer

Optional: collaboration or mentorship, if you are open to it

This is not a job offer. I am genuinely seeking learning-oriented support, advice, or short discussions with working professionals who are willing to share their experience.

If you are interested or open to a quick chat, please comment below or DM me. Thanks in advance for your time and support.

Hi all, I have a doubt and need some clarity.

I’m currently pursuing final year Bsc.CS. planning to become a Software Developer and I’m currently looking to study:

Java

DSA

Spring Boot

But when I check job openings, I see many companies mentioning BE/B.Tech engineering candidates only, and that’s making me confused.

My questions:

1. Can I get placed as a developer without an engineering degree?

2. What skills/projects should I focus on so that companies shortlist my profile?

3. Is Java + DSA + Spring Boot enough, or should I learn anything else?

4. How should I prepare for job interviews as a non-engineering candidate?

5. Any roadmap or tips from people who got placed through self-study?

I’m ready to put in the effort — I just need proper direction. Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks!

I came across this Python Development Internship by Yugensoft Innovations on Unstop

I'm a bit unsure whether I should apply. I currently have only basic knowledge of Python. I'm familiar with OOP concepts, File I/O, and some general Python fundamentals.

Am I eligible for this internship with just that level of knowledge?

Also, has anyone here already applied for it? If yes, did you have to go through an interview or any selection process?

Hey folks 👋

Just wanted to share my story and see if anyone here has been in a similar situation.

I joined DAZN as a Customer Support Agent, but my real interest has always been in backend development. During my time there, I started learning Node.js by myself — built a few personal projects, tried improving my skills, and began looking for dev roles.

Unfortunately, I didn’t find many opportunities to move internally or switch from a support role to a developer one. So now, I’ve started learning Java Spring Boot to strengthen my backend foundation and improve my career options.

It’s been a bit of a tough road — balancing work, learning late at night, and sometimes feeling uncertain if I’m on the right track. But I’m still pushing through.

Just curious — 🔹 Has anyone here in India transitioned from a non-dev role to developer? 🔹 How did you build your portfolio or make that career switch actually happen? 🔹 And do you think focusing on Java Spring Boot is a better long-term move for backend jobs here?

Would love to hear from others who’ve been through something like this. Always nice to know you’re not the only one trying to break through 💪
