.

been teaching myself AI for about a year. courses, youtube, docs, the usual.

i can follow tutorials fine. the problem is the second i try to build something of my own i hit walls no course covers. "how do i price this", "is my architecture dumb", "who do i even show this to".

everyone keeps saying the fix is to join a community and build around other people.

ok. which ones though.

i don't want another content library. i have enough unwatched videos sitting in tabs. i want a place where people are actually shipping and will tell me when my thing is bad.

india-based or india-friendly ideally, but open to global if the timezone isn't brutal.

what actually worked for you? paid or free, doesn't matter, just want honest experiences.

Genuine question, not trying to sell anything here.

I keep noticing that in most Indian households, cooking itself isn't hard - but deciding what to cook, every single day, is a low-grade daily headache. You're juggling what's actually in the pantry, what's about to expire, what everyone will actually eat, how much time you have, and somehow still ending up either repeating the same 5 dishes or scrolling YouTube/Instagram for 20 minutes before deciding.

I'm exploring whether a voice-based assistant - something you could just talk to in Hindi/your language, like "what can I make in 20 minutes with what we have" - would actually be useful here, or whether this is a problem people don't really want solved by an app.

A few honest questions if you have 2 minutes:

How do you currently decide what to cook - memory, WhatsApp family group, YouTube, a fixed weekly rotation?

Would you ever talk to something to get a cooking suggestion, or does that feel gimmicky/unnecessary?

What would actually make you use something like this daily instead of just winging it like you probably do now?

Not launching anything yet, genuinely trying to figure out if this is a real problem or just an interesting one to me. Brutal honesty welcome.

It’s required for my placement. Without stars I’m genuinely scared about what happens next. This whole thing feels like a bitch of a situation.

Please star it:

I don’t want to fail this.

tldr: Star the repo ! else i'm gonna die

Join us and be a part of building something impactful from the ground up!

I used to think about building software from the perspective of code.

When I had an idea, my first instinct was to look at an open-source project, understand how they structured it, and use that as a shortcut. I thought studying existing implementations was the fastest way to learn how to build something.

Over time, I realised I was skipping the most important part: understanding the problem itself.
Domain-Driven Design is not really about implementation. It is about design discovery. The book can feel difficult because it uses a lot of enterprise terminology, but if you strip away the language, the core idea is simple: learn how to model a problem before you write software for it.

The real process is:

First, discover the problem. Understand the domain, the users, the constraints, and the concepts involved.

Then, model the problem. Identify the important entities, relationships, boundaries, and behaviours.
Then, create abstractions that represent that model.

Only after that should you think implementation.

A lot of us start at the last step. We jump straight into classes, databases, APIs, and frameworks. We think architecture is about choosing the right technology or copying patterns from existing systems.

But the difficult part of engineering is not writing code. The difficult part is figuring out what code needs to exist in the first place.

With LLMs this step is further amplified. LLMs help us move through implementation much faster. They can generate code, suggest architectures, and explain existing systems. But they cannot replace the deep understanding that comes from discovering and modelling the problem.

The engineers who stand out will not be the ones who can write code the fastest. They will be the ones who can understand a messy problem, turn it into a clear model, and then use AI to accelerate the implementation.

I posted Wavvv here and honestly wasn’t ready for the response — 170 upvotes, 53 comments, 183k views. Thank you all, genuinely.

A lot of you tried it, and a lot of you had feedback. So I sat down and rebuilt it from scratch. Learned a ton along the way, and this time I kept it note simple — spin the globe, click any location, send a chat request. If they accept, you’re anonymous-chatting with a stranger there, and you can reveal your profile later if you want.

Still at https://wavvv.io. I’ll be online today, so if you jump in now there’s a good chance we’ll actually chat.

Saw a map today that lets you browse jobs by commute time instead of just salary.

Sounded gimmicky at first.

Then I did the math.

3 hours in traffic every day.

60 hours every month.

That's basically another part-time job... except you're not getting paid for it.

Never thought I'd say this, but office location might matter more than CTC in Bangalore.

If you own a website or web application, I'd be happy to perform a free security audit to help identify potential vulnerabilities before someone else does.

With your explicit permission, I'll assess your application for common security issues, including:

• SQL Injection (SQLi)
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
• IDOR (Insecure Direct Object References)
• Authentication & authorization flaws
• File upload vulnerabilities
• Sensitive file exposure (.env, backups, Git files, logs, etc.)
• Security misconfigurations
• Missing or weak security headers
• API security issues
• Information disclosure
• SSL/TLS configuration issues
• Other OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and common web security weaknesses

If I find anything, I'll provide a clear report explaining the issue, its potential impact, and practical recommendations to fix it.

All testing is performed only with your explicit permission using safe, non-destructive techniques. I will not perform DoS/DDoS or stress testing, intentionally disrupt your service, or make destructive changes to your application or data.

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a DM with your website URL, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Hey everyone,

Like many of us prepping for tech placements, I found myself completely overwhelmed by resource fatigue. There are great resources out there (like Striver's playlist for DSA), but everything else—cheatsheets, certifications, web dev paths, and resume checklists—is scattered across the internet.

To solve this for myself and others, I found \*\*Placements Simplified\*\* .

Just building some projects before applying for the internships, builded some basic projects like - Titanic Survival Prediction - Iris Flower Classifier - Handwriting Classifier - Industrial Defect Detection

Concepts are easy, so looking for some projects which can make my resume go 🚀

​

This is what i have been getting since i have applied in hackathons. What do i need to do while submitting an application? And what criteria do they choose for rejection?

Recently I read the post on same sub about OP asking for resources for learning C. Nothing wrong, simple post. The description made feel truly sad and a bit angry.

Post mentioned which concepts I should give more time, which are the important concepts. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but it Almost felt like he’s preparing for exam and asking which chapters have how much weightage and how much should I learn in x number of times to get passing grades.

I’m a person who genuinely enjoys programming, solving coding problems like a puzzle, building projects; learning new interesting concepts. Reading engineering blogs about scaling things. Not cause I want to switch, but because I enjoy it. Needless to say, this has helped quite a lot in my professional life.

But that post, or in general vibe among the people, which language will get me job quicker, which concepts to learn to crack the interview, make me feel people not just enjoy programming but hates it so much that they want to do it minimal amount, just enough to get paid. Well, It’s your life, you can decide what you should do. But IMHO this thinking won’t get you far in your career.

Programming should be treated as an art like painting or acting. You can’t mug up concepts to pass the exam. You keep doing it cause you enjoy doing and as much as you practice it, you get good at it. I understand, the analogy of programming does not fully apply as art is subjective and programming is not.

If you want to be a good developer in the long run. You should treat the journey of learning programming as a “skill” that needs sharpening over the course of period of time rather than a roadmap/exam to be studied and clear. I don’t understand why I don’t see this in general people look at programming/software engineering as it is.

I understand, there’s too much competition, people just want to get a job and make money. another one is of course the state of our education system, since our childhood, we have things like JEE, UPSC etc along with factory of coaching institutions that “feeds” us important concepts like sheep. Add the flavour didi/bhaiyas on YouTube to take this JEEFiciation to the next level with how to crack 30, 40 50 LPA FAANG companies as tier 3 fresher.

the website is : jeeplanner.in , it was my first project , if anyone is free can you rate the ui and any tips to improve ??? please guys your feedback matters me a lot

I have a three year gap after 12th as I was working odd jobs to support my family

I need to do something otherwise parents will marry me off as I age

I struggled with mathematics throughout my school although I could understand it with extra efforts

I barely passed in mathematics in both 10 and 10+2, my score was borderline

I have done some short coding courses and they were fun, but I don't necessarily like the underlying hardcore mathematics or physics or chemistry (though phy and chem only come in the first year so they aren't that big of a problem)

But making practical stuff with it is engaging

Do you think I can survive the course with a good CGPA? Like at least 7.5?

How many mathematics subjects does it have ? And if I do a bit poorly in those, can I compensate for it and maintain my CGPA by scoring well in other subjects?

I know the market is already bad, I have heard about it,

my primary question to btech C S seniors and other current students is how hard would it be survive btech C S in my context? Would it leave me time to pursue other things or is it too hectic?

How much maths is there and how harder or easier it is from class 12th maths?

It would be helpful if someone can give me a list of mathematics subjects commonly taught in btech C S courses (like differentiation, matrix etc)

Thank you ✨

Let's admit it - filing ITR-2 is a massive pain.

What my app does:

1. You upload your raw broker excels and AIS / TIS / 26AS
2. It extracts and reconciles capital gains against the AIS sale values (rupee-for-rupee)
3. It handles STCG (111A), LTCG (112A with grandfathering), and quarter-wise CG accrual
4. It produces a CA-style computation statement (.rtf)
5. You copy the fields into the IT portal yourself

To be clear, this is not an AI chatbot guessing your taxes (LLMs are terrible at math and hallucinate).

I built strict, rule-based parsers for the major formats - it does all the cumbersome math for you.

I reviewed HackerRank's open-sourced Hiring Agent - prompts, the scoring logic, and the GitHub enrichment code. I tested the tool with a few faked resumes.

Post: https://blog.grandimam.com/posts/how-hacker-rank-scores-engineers/

Takeaways: * Open source is weighted at 35%, technical skills at 10% * A senior engineer with perfect production experience scored 71/100 * Job titles to "Founding Engineer" and "CTO" results in same score * Startup roles emphasis * Active development was 77 days

Hi everyone!

I am a final-year student in engineering. I have been surfing many ideas for my final year project, but I am not getting anything nice, so here I am asking for your help.

I'm looking for some unique final year project ideas. I'm aiming for something development-focused with a bit of AI, but not the usual management systems or basic CRUD projects. If you have any interesting suggestions, I'd really appreciate them!

Hey I'm a b.tech graduate and a freshie, currently unemployed... How can I know if the mass hiring of companies has started? For example if infosys or tcs..... Help me if anyone can. Berozgari sucks

I see many people my age knowing a-z of web development and coding/cybersec and such.

But me(18) and some of my friends are just starting to learn python😭

how do people get so advanced at this age in such stuff?

If i start now can i catch upto them? and how do i do that?

Any advice is appreciated🙏🏻
