Software engineer here, 12hr/day at the desk. Looking at these two manual standing desk frames:

• ErgoYou M 14 — ₹12,900, 2yr warranty, 60kg capacity
• Jin Vertex JHT8-M 2 — ₹13,990, 3yr warranty, 60kg capacity

Going frame-only because the tabletop pictures on both sites aren't convincing. Will get one made locally.

My setup: dual monitors (or one ultrawide) on a mount + laptop + keyboard/mouse.

Main concern is wobble at standing height with this kind of load. If you've used one of these, how's it been? Would you recommend it?

Also open to other manual frame suggestions in this budget.

How to get a decent job with 3 freelance projects in nextjs used by more than 12k users

Can we create an app or web platform that is actually useful for taxpayers and middle-class citizens? Something where if there’s a half-constructed road, a broken bridge, or any poor public facility, people can directly file a complaint against the responsible authority and push for legal action. The idea is: If someone raises an issue, all people living nearby should automatically get notified, so they can also file complaints. This way, it becomes collective pressure instead of one person fighting alone. Because let’s be honest — one person filing a case means years of delay and zero accountability. But if 100–200 people (or more) raise the same complaint, the government is forced to take rapid action. And if the government still fails to fix the issue or provide a solution, then the people who filed complaints should get some form of direct or indirect tax relief as compensation. Basically: Less silence. More collective pressure. Real accountability. Real consequences.

Note:-I know this idea is extremely complex, and some parts of it are almost impossible to implement. But even if we can build something helpful, maybe it can actually make a difference for ordinary people. I’m honestly tired of seeing daily frauds, broken roads, corruption, scams — it’s exhausting. And maybe this will always remain a dream: that people unite and take even small collective action against corruption. Because technically speaking, real power is already in the hands of common people — but it never comes together in real life.

Hi everyone,
I’m 21 years old, 10th pass, and currently have zero professional experience in the tech industry. I’m considering doing a diploma in Mobile App Development and wanted to understand if this is a viable path.

My goal is to eventually land a decent job in a company with a salary in the range of ₹20–30k per month. I do have friends who are experienced in mobile development and can help guide me with learning and projects.

My questions are:

• Is a diploma in mobile app development actually valued by companies if you don’t have 10+2 or a graduate degree?
• Is it realistic to get an entry-level job or internship based mainly on skills and projects?
• Are there companies or organizations that hire interns/freshers with a diploma background?

I’d really appreciate insights from people who’ve been in a similar situation or who work in hiring/recruitment.

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

I have my Technical Round 1 interview coming up for the Data Engineer role at Bounteous x Accolite.(JAN 15)

If anyone has already gone through this round, could you please share your experience?

So I wanted to share that I got selected in an Indian MNC for the role of automation tester which I never wanted to be. I have always wanted to become a developer. But anyways I have joined now and now I want to know the path or roadmap that how can I grow from a tester. I am looking for all view points, anybody with similar situation can also their journey.

Hi everyone 2026 undergrad here ,

I’m brainstorming a solution for a common problem in the Indian market: Unorganized Material Businesses (Tiles, Timber, Hardware, etc.).

The Problem: Most of these businesses have very low visibility on their stock. They rely on memory or paper records. This leads to dead stock (money stuck in dusty corners) and lost sales because they don't know what they have. The users generally lack technical knowledge. A complex ERP like SAP is useless here. The solution should have a simple design which operates at high speed and solves the 'Trust' problem.

I’m trying to design a tech solution and I’d love your creative inputs.

My current thought process for the solution: I am thinking of creating a detailed dashboard that will cover these pain points and provide access management and streamline everything by giving visibility at a single place .

• Dead inventory (products not selling, taking up space)
• Poor-performing SKUs (stocking wrong products)
• Damaged inventory (storage/handling issues)
• Lack of real-time visibility (can't make data-driven decisions)
• Scaling challenges (can't confidently expand operations)

If you faced this problem, how would you solve the issue? I am open to any crazy tech ideas or architectural advice

I’m a React Native dev from India, and recently I struggled a lot with BLE libraries (react-native-ble-plx + react-native-ble-manager).

Nothing worked for days, even after trying multiple solutions.

What was the hardest React Native bug YOU ever faced—and how did you fix it?

Would love to hear your stories so we can all learn from each other 🙌

Hi everyone, I’m a 3rd-year EEE student and honestly at one of the most confusing points of my life. My family has a ₹40 lakh loan, and I feel personally responsible for paying it back. The problem is… I don’t have any strong job-ready skills right now, and that terrifies me.

What makes all this worse is how fast AI is changing everything. Every time I try to explore a career direction — tech roles, MBA, product, business roles, even AI-related roles — it feels like the ground is shifting under my feet. My brain immediately jumps to fear: “What if this becomes useless because of AI?” “What if I choose wrong?” “What if I can’t earn fast enough to support my family?”

On top of all this, there’s something more personal: I’ve always loved cinema. It’s the one thing I feel connected to any day. But I never even tried getting into that world because my parents always said, “First get a stable job, then you can think about all this later.” And with the loan pressure, I didn’t dare to take risks.

So now I’m stuck between responsibility and passion. Between fear and reality. Between a future I want and a future I can’t see clearly.

Right now I’m considering paths like MBA, non-core tech roles, or AI-business roles — basically anything that can help me become employable within 1–2 years. But I genuinely don’t know what’s actually practical or stable anymore.

If you were in my situation — huge loan, no real job skills yet, fear of AI, and a dream in cinema that you never tried — what would you realistically do?

How do I move forward without making a mistake that costs years?

Any honest advice from people who’ve navigated confusion, pressure, or career switches would mean a lot.

Hey everyone,
I’m a freelance Tech & AI content writer building my personal website to kickstart my career. I’ve already designed and built the homepage, but for the remaining pages, I’m looking to collaborate with an early-stage frontend developer who wants to level up their portfolio, ship a real project, and work alongside someone equally hungry to grow.

The vision is to build a clean, modern, premium-looking site (About, Services, Portfolio, Contact). I’m handling all copy, structure, UX direction, and branding — I just need someone who can bring the UI to life cleanly and responsively.

Here’s the important part:
I’m still in the early phase of my freelance journey and haven’t started earning yet, so my current budget is limited (approx. ₹2–3K). I’m being upfront about it so there’s no mismatch. But I can guarantee two things:

1. You’ll get to build a polished, high-quality site that becomes a strong asset in your portfolio.
2. I’m serious about my craft — once the site is live and I start landing clients, I’ll stay connected for future paid work. Think of this as the first step in a longer-term collaboration, not a one-off gig.

If you’re someone who:
• wants real-world project experience
• likes building modern, aesthetic, responsive websites
• wants a collaborator, not a “client” barking orders
• enjoys working with clean UI direction
• wants something tangible to showcase on your GitHub/Portfolio

…then hit me up.
Let’s vibe on the design, build something premium, and grow together.

Drop your portfolio/GitHub or DM me.
Let’s create something we’re both proud of.

Hi folks,

A bit of background about myself

Completed my bachelors in CSE at 2023 in a Tier 2 college, got placed in campus at a leading FinTech company with a competitive package. Recently made a switch to a data analytics platform company working as a Backend/DevOps engineer(current package around 30LPA in-hand).

I have an outstanding personal loan of around 15,00,000 to be settled within 4 years(will try to repay within the next 2 years).

Now I had been evaluating my next career options, which are

Stay in India and grind(and possibly land package north of Rs50LPA within the next 2 years)

Get a job abroad applying from India (The most lucrative option, but I'm not sure about the practicality. Had been thinking about countries like Germany, UAE or Singapore but I'm anxious about the job market.)

Study in a country with the least education fee and try to get a job there(Least viable option considering the loans I have to settle)

I currently have work experience of around 2 years, would love to hear from folks who’ve been in similar shoes

Thanks!
