If coding disappears tomorrow, what’s your plan B?

@tech_girl I will not say work, but I do code almost every weekend.

I am committing INR 1 Cr to find Bangalore Choke-Points via Google Maps & AL.

11 km → 2.15 hours in Bangalore Traffic on Saturday late night!

I was stuck at one choke-point at ORR, where I spent 100 mins struggling to understand why there is no traffic-light or cop here!

But I don’t want one more “Bengaluru Traffic Memes or Rant”. I WANT TO FIX IT.

Very recently, in April 2025, Google Maps started sharing "Road Management Insight". It's a city-level data in Big Query format.

Using Google Data and Satellite Imagery, we can list down all the choke-points & their exact timings in a month. For the traffic department to work on those areas specifically.

I am willing to spend INR 1 Crore on this project by funding: 1-2 senior ML/AI engineers. And providing budget for using Google Maps API calls, Satellite Imagery & GPUs

I will start this project, when BTP/BBMP: Open their raw feeds or API access AND names a team, committed to acting on the insights we generate.

🙌 How can you help right now?

1. TAG anyone you know in the Bangalore Traffic Office, BBMP or the Traffic Commissioner’s office, let this hit the right inbox.

2. ML/AI folks: comment "IN", if you can work along part-time to end this menace

3. Every commuter who’s sick of bleeding time: comment or share. More noise -> faster response.

Bengalore is India’s tech future; and people making it happen deserve MUCH better.

accept that the stakes are not as high as they are in your mind

it's never as good or as bad as it may seem

Company priority is now to train existing software engineers to use AI tools and increase their productivity.

Probably they will start firing folks in the near future, as same amount of work can be done by less people.

AI replacing SDEs is real now.

I work as a backend engineer at a top Fintech.
We have given premium plans of windserf, so that we can increase productivity at work and use it on daily basis to complete our tasks.

Sad part is, all the SDE 1 hiring has stopped from this year onwards.

My dad recognised that I am in depression/dark period. Very subtly he said, don't worry I am with you. Idk this one sentence made me so relieved and out of depression.

[Prof James Davies 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

During a very dark period, what was the best thing you ever did for your mental health?
