Who’s still riding B-Trees in 2025? Come get roasted
@deedydas This statistic is biased, suggesting only engineers with advanced degrees can work in software. Bachelor’s degrees should also be considered. A higher degree isn’t required for software jobs. Most engineers at top tech companies in India lack master’s degrees.
yes, cheap labor & laziness are major factors, but Zepto/Blinkit's success is beyond that and diff from DoorDash/ Instacart; the kind of scale they have, also comes from the lack of walkable spaces, poor roads, bad weather, & inefficient infrastructure
@narayananh@airindia I am ashamed at the fact that a human has to stand there instead of some attachment to the belt. Air india is so pathetic.
Ps: Don’t give me the bs that they are providing employment to more people because of inefficiencies.
