HR: What is your notice period?
Candidate: 60 days.
HR: Is it negotiable?
Candidate: No.
HR: Sorry, we’re looking for someone who can join within 30 days.
Candidate: May I ask a question?
HR: Sure.
Candidate: What’s the notice period in your company?
HR: 90 days.
Candidate: If someone resigns and requests to leave within 30 days, would you allow it?
HR: No, we require time to find a replacement and ensure proper knowledge transfer.
Candidate: Then why is it fair to expect new hires to join early when existing employees can’t leave early?
Deepawali is the largest, and perhaps the only, pan-India festival that truly brings people back home, as those away from family make their way to native towns.
It deserves a full week of national holidays. If needed, revoke holidays like Gandhi Jayanti and few more, that don’t resonate with the masses and give Deepawali the recognition it deserves.
Other countries set a precedent too, with long holidays for festivals like Chinese New Year, Christmas in West, and Japan’s Golden Week.
As you grow in your career, focus on understanding the "why" of technology.
For example, so many people I talked to say they used JWT for API authentication. When I ask them what problems JWT solves wrt API auth, they go blank. They just know JWT.
They don't understand things like - "HTTP is stateless, what cookies are, what could be alternatives to JWT, what if we were to roll out our own tokens, how the auth worked when there was no JWT a few years ago," etc.
To start with, learn the tool, but as you grow, learn to understand WHY that tool exists, what problem it solves, what are other ways of solving that problem, what people were doing before that tool existed, etc.
This will make you a much better engineer.
Nothing is more important to get good results from Large Language Models than Prompt Engineering.
But we need to improve the workflows we are using.
Experimenting with prompts and writing them down in spreadsheets is not good enough.

Currently I am more focused on my problem solving skills and web development skill side by side.
As I believe only DSA or Web Dev not enough to get. There very few companies who don't ask to DSA at entry level. So it's better to get intermediate knowledge of both.

From Today onwards, I will share my technical/coding journey that I had started few months ago.
I will post everything what I'm learning everyday so that it can help people of they don't have knowledge of it Also I will be consistent throughout this journey untill I get job 😊
When parents literally mortgage their houses, land or sell off jewellery to fund their ‘preparation in Kota’ coz there is no education loan for preparation, it builds that pressure on the kids.
When your kid becomes your only hope to pull you out of poverty or a debt trap, and the kid knows it. They take that extreme step. When there is this extreme stress of proving to be an asset than a liability one year longer. They take that extreme step.
In almost all last letters they always apologise to their parents. It’s just heartbreaking. Work hard yourself. Don’t expect your kids to change your fortune.

You're a tech lead who's just joined a team and on your first day, the CTO tells you -
"Our video processing API is very slow, looks like it's a problem with AWS EFS that we are using. Take a look and fix it."

What do you think of edtech startups in space in India, selling courses. Is this good? Have you been a customer?
My view: As GS i will not endorse/work with edtech startups (space or not) simply becuz of ethical and responsibility issues. Edtech in India has bad reput
What are the differences between a load balancer and an API gateway?
First, let's clarify some concepts before discussing the differences.
1️⃣ NLB (Network Load Balancer) is usually deployed before the API gateway, handling traffic routing based on IP. It does not parse the HTTP requests.
2️⃣ ALB (Application Load Balancer) routes requests based on HTTP header or URL and thus can provide richer routing rules. We can choose the load balancer based on routing requirements. For simple services with a smaller scale, one load balancer is enough.
3️⃣ The API gateway performs tasks more on the application level. So it has different responsibilities from the load balancer.
The diagram below shows the detail. Often, they are used in combination to provide a scalable and secure architecture for modern web apps.
Option a: ALB is used to distribute requests among different services. Due to the fact that the services implement their own rating limitation, authentication, etc., this approach is more flexible but requires more work at the service level.
Option b: An API gateway takes care of authentication, rate limiting, caching, etc., so there is less work at the service level. However, this option is less flexible compared with the ALB approach.
👉 Over to you: Which one should we use, a load balancer or an API gateway?

One way to think of our developmental & sustainability challenges is to consider India as ~30,000 clusters of ~20 villages each.
Clusters are like organizations, & today aren't self-sustaining since revenues are less than what they pay for goods & services. This has to change 1/9
