Another harsh reality :
Interview : Reverse a link list
Job : kafka is down, clusters are not working, cannot pull docker image. can you send me the postman request.
le innocent developer : wtf is kafka, cluster, how do i find postman request.
Poor KT and downgrading developers is also a big issue i feel.

everything is temporary but "hiring a fresher/intern" with 2-3 year of experience is permanent...😅

I'm from a total nontech background and I started my freelancing journey as a content writer for the B2B Tech niche. That's what led me to learn Web development. Still in the learning process but thanks to Freecodeacademy, Udemy and Coursera, I've been able to learn new concepts well. This vid was so insightful. Thanks, Harkirat.

Sundar Pichai was not a software engineer, he started his career as a product manager.

[ankitbhardwaj]

[shubhumrajput]

how to be a part of various communities through open source please make a video on that, great video learned a lot, thanks for the efforts.

[thatsthething]

can confirm that, clever employers and startup founders do this exploitation you mentioned, to Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Nigerian engineers. because they can send a good amount of money back home, while in reality the salary is less for the host country. very correct!

[pragunshukla]

Thanks for the valuable content. Request you please make a video on improving soft skills or communication skills.

I don't want motivation i want reality i subscribed

[Eswar.]

you're accent is soothing to listen

[subhrajitsatpathy]

2 must do things in a software engineer's everyday lifestyle is gym and meditation for min 30 mins. Stop drinking coffee and maintain a healthy diet. Healthy diet doesn't mean to be very strict on your diet. But mostly avoid processed food from outside and sugar.

"how would've you learnt ML/AI if you are a fresher?" Great suggestion by Eswar, please Harkirat make a vid on this.

Hey Harkirat, how to deal with the time frame difference, I like to work 9-5 and enjoy my evening doing my own business. Can't do this in India IT Industry, is it the same for all the companies
