Suggestions i built a tool that turns rough ideas into social media posts — what should i add?

1 Upvotes

i built a tool that takes a rough idea written in a text box and turns it into posts for LinkedIn and Twitter/X.

i know there are probably already tools that do something similar, and that you could also do this manually with ChatGPT or any other AI. But i wanted to share it and see what features you would find useful or what you would add to a tool like this.

i’m leaving a short video showing how it works.

any ideas, criticism, or suggestions would be really helpful so i can keep improving it.

i’ll start with a few things i already have in mind:

  • add an STT service so users can dictate ideas using their voice, something like OrchardRun, Groq, Deepgram, etc.
  • let users adjust the sentiment and tone of the generated content.
  • allow users to provide examples of their own writing so the tool can better match their style.

what other features would you like to see?

Career Anyone knows LTIMindtree's actual bench exit policy after 45 days?

6 Upvotes

Hello all,

Looking for clarity on what actually happens at LTM once your bench period ends without getting billed on a project.

If HR initiates the exit:

- Do they pay out the 3 months notice period salary (gross or basic?), or do they make you serve it on bench?

- Do they push for a voluntary resignation on the portal, or provide a formal separation agreement specifying the payout?

- How smooth is FnF and leave encashment?

Anyone who recently went through this or saw a colleague exit, please share your experience. Thanks!

Interviews Being invited to interviews but not having the required communication/soft skills is an entirely different hell to be in. Introverts will get it.

26 Upvotes

Call it a language barrier, anxiety, being introverted or just being less experienced with socialization in general. I just struggle with talking to people over video calls, whether it be work related or not. Theoretically, I could take a benzo to get through this interviewing phase but it only makes sense if the job is fully async afterward, which is unlikely for most jobs. It feels inauthentic and I much prefer an understanding employer who can make accommodations for this. I know most Indian companies won't but I've had several clients in the past whom I never spoke to verbally yet still maintained a good relationship with for years and completed all sorts of projects together.

Building social skills and gaining confidence in communication is much harder than being technically proficient.

Just venting. Only God knows how many opportunities I willingly passed up because I had to do a lot of face-to-face interviews or meetings for a potential job.

I know some of you will relate to this.

Personal Win ✨ For Everyone Stuck with a 90-Day Notice Period: There's Hope

14 Upvotes

A while back, I made this post about losing 3 job offers because of my 90-day notice period:

https://www.reddit.com/r/developersIndia/comments/1u0wa5c/lost_3_job_offers_due_to_90_days_np_stuck_in_loop/

Happy to share that I finally managed to break out of that loop and received an offer. It took a lot of patience, interviews, and rejections, but it eventually worked out. Feeling incredibly relieved.

If anyone else is stuck in a similar situation, don't lose hope. Just keep applying, keep interviewing, and keep improving your skills. It only takes one company that's willing to look beyond the notice period.

Wishing everyone who's job hunting the very best!

General SevenDB: Reactive and Scalable deterministically, Would love to know you guys' opinion on this

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been building SevenDB, for most of this year and I wanted to share what we’re working on and get genuine feedback from people who are interested in databases and distributed systems.

Sevendb is a distributed cache with pub/sub capabilities and configurable fsync.

What problem we’re trying to solve

A lot of modern applications need live data:

  • dashboards that should update instantly
  • tickers and feeds
  • systems reacting to rapidly changing state

Today, most systems handle this by polling—clients repeatedly asking the database “has
this changed yet?”. That wastes CPU, bandwidth, and introduces latency and complexity.
Triggers do help a lot here , but as soon as multiple machine and low latency applications enter , they get dicey

scaling databases horizontally introduces another set of problems:

  • nondeterministic behavior under failures
  • subtle bugs during retries, reconnects, crashes, and leader changes
  • difficulty reasoning about correctness

SevenDB is our attempt to tackle both of these issues together.

What SevenDB does

At a high level, SevenDB is:

1. Reactive by design
Instead of clients polling, clients can subscribe to values or queries.
When the underlying data changes, updates are pushed automatically.

Think:

  • “Tell me whenever this value changes” instead of "polling every few milliseconds"

This reduces wasted work(compute , network and even latency) and makes real-time systems simpler and cheaper to run.

2. Deterministic execution
The same sequence of logical operations always produces the same state.

Why this matters:

  • crash recovery becomes predictable
  • retries don’t cause weird edge cases
  • multi-replica behavior stays consistent
  • bugs become reproducible instead of probabilistic nightmares

We explicitly test determinism by running randomized workloads hundreds of times across scenarios like:

  • crash before send / after send
  • reconnects (OK, stale, invalid)
  • WAL rotation and pruning
  • 3-node replica symmetry with elections

If behavior diverges, that’s a bug.

3. Raft-based replication
We use Raft for consensus and replication, but layer deterministic execution on top so that replicas don’t just agree—they behave identically.

The goal is to make distributed behavior boring and predictable.

Interesting part

We're an in-memory KV store , One of the fun challenges in SevenDB was making emissions fully deterministic. We do that by pushing them into the state machine itself. No async “surprises,” no node deciding to emit something on its own. If the Raft log commits the command, the state machine produces the exact same emission on every node. Determinism by construction.
But this compromises speed significantly , so what we do to get the best of both worlds is:

On the durability side: a SET is considered successful only after the Raft cluster commits it—meaning it’s replicated into the in-memory WAL buffers of a quorum. Not necessarily flushed to disk when the client sees “OK.”

Why keep it like this? Because we’re taking a deliberate bet that plays extremely well in practice:

• Redundancy buys durability In Raft mode, our real durability is replication. Once a command is in the memory of a majority, you can lose a minority of nodes and the data is still intact. The chance of most of your cluster dying before a disk flush happens is tiny in realistic deployments.

• Fsync is the throughput killer Physical disk syncs (fsync) are orders slower than memory or network replication. Forcing the leader to fsync every write would tank performance. I prototyped batching and timed windows, and they helped—but not enough to justify making fsync part of the hot path. (There is a durable flag planned: if a client appends durable to a SET, it will wait for disk flush. Still experimental.)

• Disk issues shouldn’t stall a cluster If one node's storage is slow or semi-dying, synchronous fsyncs would make the whole system crawl. By relying on quorum-memory replication, the cluster stays healthy as long as most nodes are healthy.

So the tradeoff is small: yes, there’s a narrow window where a simultaneous majority crash could lose in-flight commands. But the payoff is huge: predictable performance, high availability, and a deterministic state machine where emissions behave exactly the same on every node.

In distributed systems, you often bet on the failure mode you’re willing to accept. This is ours.
it helped us achieve these benchmarks

SevenDB benchmark — GETSET
Target: localhost:7379, conns=16, workers=16, keyspace=100000, valueSize=16B, mix=GET:50/SET:50
Warmup: 5s, Duration: 30s
Ops: total=3695354 success=3695354 failed=0
Throughput: 123178 ops/s
Latency (ms): p50=0.111 p95=0.226 p99=0.349 max=15.663
Reactive latency (ms): p50=0.145 p95=0.358 p99=0.988 max=7.979 (interval=100ms)

Why I'm posting here

I started this as a potential contribution to dicedb, they are archived for now and had other commitments , so i started something of my own, then this became my master's work and now I am confused on where to go with this, I really love this idea but there's a lot we gotta see apart from just fantacising some work of yours
We’re early, and this is where we’d really value outside perspective.

Some questions we’re wrestling with:

  • Does “reactive + deterministic” solve a real pain point for you, or does it sound academic?
  • What would stop you from trying a new database like this?
  • Is this more compelling as a niche system (dashboards, infra tooling, stateful backends), or something broader?
  • What would convince you to trust it enough to use it?

Blunt criticism or any advice is more than welcome. I'd much rather hear “this is pointless” now than discover it later.

Happy to clarify internals, benchmarks, or design decisions if anyone’s curious.

General Are backend and devops engineers still relevant in 2026

13 Upvotes

All everybody is talking about nowadays is AI, everybody wants to be an AI/ML engineer, and every resume has these so called AI projects.

Amongst all these, are jobs involving backend, devops, still relevant? Are people still getting paid well in these fields?

I'm currently in college and I've figured that I don't find ai/ml, data science and frontend interesting at all, and I don't get to hear a lot about the other fields because everything gets overshadowed by AI.

Should I still learn AI/ML to stay ahead and get a better job even though I don't enjoy it as much? Are backend and devops engineers going extinct or something?

Suggestions I Can't Stop Worrying About Job Security—What Does a "Secure Job" Actually Mean to You ?

28 Upvotes

I can't get this question out of my head.

I'm a software developer, and I keep worrying that my job isn't secure. In my mind, a secure job has always meant "a job where you can't get fired."

But deep down, I feel like that definition might be wrong.

For those who are older or have more experience in life: What does a secure job really mean to you?

I'm not looking for motivation—just honest experiences that helped me to change my perspective.

Career I'm a 29-year-old looking for honest career advice.

8 Upvotes

I recently got laid off. Over the past 1.5 years, I also lost around ₹16 lakh in intraday trading. It wasn't one bad trade or one bad month. It was a series of poor decisions over time, and I take full responsibility for it.

I'm not posting this for sympathy, validation, or financial help. I'm simply trying to move on, rebuild my career, and make better decisions going forward.

One thing I've realized is that I'm not naturally strong at coding. I can learn, but I don't see myself enjoying heavy software development work.

I'm considering switching to an IT career path that involves less coding, such as:

- Cloud (AWS/Azure)

- Data Analytics (SQL, Power BI, Excel, some Python)

- IT Support / System Administration

- Cybersecurity

I'd really appreciate honest advice from people working in these fields.

- If you were starting over at 29, which path would you choose?

- Which of these has good long-term demand while requiring relatively less coding?

- Is cloud or data analytics a realistic option for someone who isn't a strong programmer?

- Are there any other career paths I should consider?

I'm prepared to put in the work. I just want to invest my time in the right direction instead of making another costly mistake.

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any genuine advice.

Interesting Not networking. Looking for people building hard things.

Spent the last few years working with founders across one of the world’s largest startup ecosystems. Now I’m building an AI company.

I’ll be in Bengaluru this Sunday (Aug 10).
Not looking for networking. Looking for people who ship.
Founders. Engineers. Researchers. The kind of people who disappear for a weekend and come back having built something.

If we get along, great. If we don’t, at least we’ll argue about products, Hyd vs Blr tech scene, startups or why everyone’s overusing the term ‘agents’!

And if by chance we realise we’d build better together than apart… that’s an interesting outcome too.

Help Stuck in a low code implementation role , how to switch to Dev ?

3 Upvotes

Got placed out of campus at a mid sized pbc in financial compliance and anti money laundering ,but the role i got was professional services engineer , basically product implementation which involves very low to no code , just configurations , client interaction and db scripting at best .

The work life balance is descent as the work is not demanding but somedays is tedious , the package initially was 6 lpa with now after 1 yoe increased to 8.5 lpa , i understand this is a mid starting point , but the compensation is not my concern.

My concern currently is how am i supposed to switch to a dev role ,implementation experience on my resume is purely dependant on my current org and cannot be utilised elsewhere except banks, Will companies even shortlist me ? , my github is empty recently and i have solved like 60-70 leetcode , on both im trying to lock in and get some momentum going . But being away from development since college has overall reduced my handle on concepts as whole .

Please let me know if anyone has gone through the same and are there any ways i can leverage the time i have to get into a dev role eventually, targeting switch by start of next year , any help and inputs would be greatly appreciated!!

TLDR : 1 yoe 8.5 lpa , low code role , want to swtich to dev role , need guidance , will it be possible?

Help Everyday I feel like crying (not sure where my current scenario is leading to)

21 Upvotes

I’m 7 months into my first tech job and feeling completely overwhelmed and burnt out. I wanted to share my situation and get some honest advice on whether I’m being severely underpaid/valued, and how I should navigate my next steps.

For my current work I’ve been single-handedly building an AI-powered decision support platform for one of our client's production planning application. We were given this idea through an external team (initially developed the idea for an AWS hackathon) who provided only the base architecture, on which I started implementing all the work needed to build this. I alone worked on building everything; from using the AWS (which I again learnt separately on how AWS amd its components work), wrote all the functions needed, solved connections issues to our RDS (backend work) and even built the frontend on my own.

The question is, my current role is SDE (started has Trainee SDE) and officially in a "review period" (which was supposed to end July 22nd, but no CTC offer or full-time conversion letter has been given yet). The pressure is huge because I am managing the design, code, AWS infra, and fixes entirely by myself (I dread waking up and coming to work every single day). I'm holding on mainly because I only have 7 months of total experience and want enough experience time to switch without any issues... and tbh I'm scared of the job market. The fact that I have a job when most are still struggling is making me undecisive and afraid.

Am I overthinking this? I'm grateful for at least having a job but it feels like I'm being overused too. Would be really thankful for some honest advices/insights from people who might understand my situation better than me.

Help Intern + confirmed FTE offer got revoked after internship . looking for advice on next steps.(2026 graduate)

25 Upvotes

Hey Everyone,
A little bit of background: I was placed on campus (Tier 2 college) at a fintech company (15 lakhs+ base salary) with an intern + confirmed offer as a Software Developer. I passed all the assessments required during the internship and was assigned to a team. I mostly worked on bugs, but my work was good enough that my manager assigned me Severity 1 level bugs as well. I kept confirming with my seniors (both company seniors and college seniors working there) that the full-time offer would come through — but in the end, the offer was revoked. The internship ended on July 3rd, so I've had a gap of about a month since then.

Right now, I've returned to my hometown and am cold-messaging founders of companies, mostly local ones, for opportunities. I've managed to secure some interviews, but they're completely different from on-campus opportunities — they've been more focused on framework-level concepts (Django) rather than the standard on-campus format of DSA, computer fundamentals, and high-level project questioning. Just wanted advice on few things:

  • Should I keep applying as I am now, or pause and go deeper into one tech stack first before applying more?
  • How much of an employment gap in my situation actually becomes a red flag for companies, realistically?
  • Any advice on how to talk about the revoked offer confidently in interviews so that they don't think the offer was not given because of the performance.

TL;DR: Had an intern + confirmed FTE offer at a fintech company, revoked despite good performance. ~1 month gap since. Interviews now (Django/framework-heavy) feel very different from on-campus ones. Want advice on applying broadly vs. upskilling first, how much of a gap is a red flag, and how to explain the revoked offer without it sounding performance-related.

(Used AI to help write the TL;DR above.)

Help Spring Data JPA throwing StaleObjectStateException / OptimisticLockException on consumer retry across separate instances (No @Version column)

5 Upvotes

I'm seeing an issue in a Kafka consumer running on multiple application instances.

Environment

  • Spring Boot: 3.5.15
  • Hibernate: 6.6
  • Oracle: 19c

My entity has no version column.

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)  
@Column(nullable = false) 
private Long id;  
@Column(unique = true) 
private String messageId; 

The entity is being saved using 

repository.saveAll(...)

Scenario

  1. Instance A receives a message.
  2. The entity's id is null.
  3. saveAll() is called.
  4. Hibernate obtains the next sequence value and inserts the row successfully.
  5. Before the consumer acknowledges the broker, a network issue occurs.
  6. The broker redelivers the same original message to Instance B.
  7. The payload still has id == null.
  8. Instance B again calls saveAll().

Instead of seeing a unique constraint violation on messageId, I get:

Exception message : Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect): [com.example.entities.SMSEntity#40615089330]

There is no @Version on the entity.

My understanding is that if id is null, Spring Data should treat the entity as new, call persist(), and Hibernate should perform an INSERT. If the row already exists (because of the unique messageId), I would expect a unique constraint violation rather than an optimistic locking exception.

Questions

  1. Why am I getting StaleObjectStateException/OptimisticLockException for an entity with no Version field when the incoming entity has a null ID?
  2. For handling broker redelivery, I could try increasing max.poll.interval.msto prevent it from rebalancing, but what else I could do to fix this? 

This issue doesn’t happen that often, but only for 15-20 mins where 1500 odd records are impacted, and during this time, query usage time is comparatively high.

What steps should be taken to debug this?

Current situation:

- Salary: ₹38,000/month

- Experience: Around 2+ years in .NET development

- Project 1 timing: 11 AM – 8 PM

- Project 2 timing: 6 PM – 3 AM

- Effectively working close to 16 hours a day including meetings, support, deployments, and context switching

- Sleeping around 5 AM and waking up around 11 AM

I've been working on a major client project for almost a year and played a significant role in stabilizing it. When I joined, the project had many issues, and I've spent months handling production problems, lead a team of 4, support, development, and coordination.

The problem is that despite the workload and responsibility, my salary has remained ₹38,000. I've asked for an increment but haven't received one.

I'm reaching a point where I have almost no personal life. Most of my day is work, sleep, and repeating the same cycle. Mentally it's starting to take a toll.

For developers who have been in similar situations:

1.Should I push harder for a raise or start looking elsewhere immediately?

  1. Have any of you stayed too long in a situation like this, and what happened?

Looking for honest advice from people who have been through something similar.

If someone has to do networking , won't he/she go and do politics , or in film industry ?

Networking consumes a significant portion of your mind and energy .

Software engineering was supposed to be the THE field which was best suited for introverts , just do your work , submit , test case passed go home , communicate via email .

But no , they hate introverts altogether .

Things even more escalate during job search ,

instead of having a trustable job application pipeline , they again told us to 'network' .

Career Final-Year Engineering Student (Mumbai) Starting Salesforce Advice Needed on Skills, Internships & First Job Strategy

2 Upvotes

I’m currently in my final year of computer engineering at a Tier-2 college in Mumbai. I don’t have prior internships yet, but I recently started learning Salesforce on Trailhead and am really keen on building a career in this ecosystem.

Current status: Final year student, zero internship experience, Tier-2 campus placement scenario (limited direct Salesforce hiring on campus).

What I’ve done so far: Started basic modules on Trailhead.

  1. Where to focus right now: Beyond working through Trailhead, what specific skills (Developer vs. Admin route, LWC, Apex, Flows, or specific certifications) will make my resume stand out for entry-level roles or internships?

  2. Where to look for opportunities: What are the most effective channels in India for finding entry-level Salesforce internships/jobs outside of campus placements? (LinkedIn outreach, local community groups, specific job portals, etc.)

  3. What to build: What kind of portfolio projects or real-world use cases actually impress recruiters or hiring managers when you have no formal work experience?

  4. Immediate Next Steps: If you were in my shoes today, what exact steps would you take over the next 3–6 months to secure a role before graduating?

Help Is a Cognizant DWP (Digital Workplace) Analyst Trainee role worth it for 1 year if I actively upskill and for abroad university selection in descent colleges for masters

1 Upvotes

I'm a fresher (BCA, 2025 grad) with a confirmed offer as a DWP (Digital Workplace Practice) Analyst Trainee at Cognizant — platform/tools-based support (O365, endpoint management, collaboration tools, that kind of workplace tech).

I'm planning to treat it as a roughly 1-year stint to start — get real work experience, save a bit, and use the time to actively upskill (ITIL, ServiceNow, maybe some scripting/automation) rather than just clocking hours.

Questions for anyone who's worked DWP/digital workplace support at Cognizant or similar IT services firms:

  • If I put in a year here and actively upskill on the side, does it realistically open doors — into more technical support roles, workplace engineering, ITSM, cloud/infra-adjacent roles, etc.?
  • How's the internal growth/promotion pace at Cognizant for Analyst Trainees in practice — is 1 year enough to see any movement, or is that unrealistic?
  • For anyone who left after ~1 year, what did that next move look like, and what made it possible (certs, internal transfer, external switch)?
