hello internet stranger,

read this book 2 times

would love to talk about this book ... if you are junior or just starting with this book just for interview purposes go through chapter 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9 thoroughly although you will find the book a little hard for the first but sticking with it will be worthwhile
If you read it really carefully and very slowly, the content is fantastic and can’t be faulted.

I have ordered the second addition but I had to cancel my order on halfway will see next time :)

I tried ditching typing for speaking using AI tools but something always felt off. Typing (or writing) gives you a buffer in the head to think, revise and explore thoughts in a way that speaking doesn't.

My bet is that if someone does a careful controlled test on quality of work output while typing v/s dictating, we'll see dictation having much worse outcomes.

@Swisss_tea true

Productivity is driven either by curiosity or by fear.

If you think you are highly unproductive, pick up something you are curious about or induce an artificial fear - e.g., deadlines, irrelevance, or failure. It's not always comfortable, but fear can be a powerful motivator.

@inchyyy_ @aditiitwt 💯! and it's shrinking

[Arpit Bhayani @arpit_bhayani]

Do not reward your brain for a "jugaad" you came up with.

It is good that you came up with a witty but dirty solution, but do not make it a habit or give it positive reinforcement. What you repeatedly reward becomes your default way of thinking.

Over time, what matters more is that you can reason from first principles, spot nuances, and hold a high bar before reaching for shortcuts. A way I would put it is: a shortcut is useful when it is built on understanding, not when it replaces it.

Hope this helps.

We should redefine singularity. It should mean the ability to create and modify physics because everything virtual will be solved , I need to see some light for the physics!

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: IMPOSSIBLE

[Arpit Bhayani @arpit_bhayani]

Earlier, ideas were cheap because implementation took forever. Now that implementation is basically free, we do not have enough good ideas.

[Kris @biradarkris]

Hey @Hi_Mrinal how do you get to work with the professors , senior devs , researchers etc ? Is it just the PoW or you exploring random shit and reaching out to people or some platform?
Its not the pay or money (SDE already) but the experience and the lessons
