Some of the biggest companies in the world use Django, but the project's budget is comparable to a single bay-area engineer's salary.

If your company uses Django, please ask them to donate! It's a great way to say thanks, and really helps keep the framework going.

I think India is basically an anarchy which somehow survives because a few people have the conscience, morality or spirituality to do what they are supposed to do.

I read a case in Trivandrum about a lady who wanted to buy a Skoda car to fulfill her dying mother's last wish.

She called Skoda on where to purchase the car. Skoda Customer care asked her to go to their Authorized dealer in Trivandrum pay an advance, to book the car, which she duly paid.

Then the dealer asked her for 5 Lakhs to expedite delivery, which she did. This was for her dying mother after all.

Parallely, HDFC bank processed her car loan and paid the money directly to the dealer without asking her.

In total she payed close to Rs 14 Lakhs of her money to buy a Skoda Slavia. For her mother.

Then put of the blue the dealership shut shop. She didn't get her car.

So logically she approached Skoda.

And what do they do?

Skoda being Skoda, has washed their hands off this matter saying they recieved no money from the dealer. So they cannot give her a car.

Apparently they are not responsible for the actions of "Skoda Authorized Dealers" recommended by Skoda Customer care.

On top of that, They even asked her to pay another 16 Lakhs, to their Ernakulam dealership, so that she can buy a brand new Skoda Slavia, because of it has amazing build, high safety rating and awesome drive quality.

Poor lady has been fighting a case in the courts for the last two years, where Skoda is resolutely determined to deny her a car that she paid for.

She is making rounds to our courts, paying for lawyers and paying interest and EMIs for the car loan, for the car she never got.

Because a Skoda Authorized dealer, recommended by Skoda, ran away with her money and Skoda is refusing to take ownership for this fiasco.

Can you imagine a functioning country with a remotely active legal system, where a person Authorized by the company, can take money from a customer in the name of the company, run away, and company can claim zero responsibility for it?

In India you can.

Skoda has done it in this case.

Which is why, in India if you pay for something and get it, remember it is because the person giving it you, does it out of his own morality and conscience.

Not because of the repercussions of not adhering to a contract.

Our entire society is run because few people are conscientious enough to do what is right.

Not because of our systems and legal process.

Which is wrong.

Would Skoda have dared to pull this stunt in a western country?

They wouldn't.

P:S: Her mother, for whom she bought this car, passed away two years ago without seeing the car.

P:P:S : The same Skoda refunded the full amount and gave additional compensation to an Indian govt babu because of a repainted side panel, but is refusing to even hear a genuine issue of a common person. Are we tax payers that powerless in this country?

P:P:P:S: why the fuck it is always Skoda?

Here's the sad story if you want to read it.

Did you know this?

In three years, from March 2020 to March 2023, the Food and Safety Standards Authority of India tested 430,000 food samples and found that 1 in 4 (25%) did not conform to food safety laws.

Of these, 1 in 6 were either "unsafe" or "substandard" and the rest were mislabelled - meaning, food makers were misleading consumers by putting incorrect information on the label

[Food Pharmer's "Label Padega India" movement becomes akin to a bowel movement here - no use, flush worthy]

The manufacturer-perpetrator could get away easy by paying a penalty.

The public was never informed about which products or product batches failed safety tests. There were no public announcement on recall of products. We were kept in the dark.

We are basically paying our hard earned money as taxes and service to these government regulatory bodies to feed us garbage and poison.

Food is a basic necessity. If the "Government" cannot provide its citizens with safe basic necessity, then why have one which only role-plays like one in the first place? Worst time to live in India.

A mistake less experienced software engineers make when it comes to estimations:

They break out maintainability/quality. Eg “building the feature is 2 weeks, adding automated tests another 3 days”.

What follows by less technical stakeholders is a push to remove the latter.

If Modi Govt were to fully vaccinate approx 60 crore people between the age group 18-45 it would cost them only ₹18000 crores.

But instead of investing in health of people, the Govt is wasting ₹20000 crores on Central Vista - the ego of a megalomaniac! #ModiKaVaccineJumla
