@Ravisutanjani I have been raising complaints regarding the export units being counted as import due to net meter not configured post installation for 6 months but there has been no resolution. Tried uppcl complaint, jansunwai, cpgrams but still no resolution.

@LearnersBucket Congratulations 🎉

This is not about one bill.
It is about governance accountability and system readiness.
DISCOM reforms are essential for energy transition credibility.

🧵 How DISCOM negligence is hurting PM Surya Ghar Yojana consumers

[Eshank Vaish @eshankvaish]

PM Surya Ghar Yojana will succeed only if
- Net metering is configured on time
- Export and import data is verified
- Billing corrections are automatic
- DISCOMs are accountable

Otherwise rooftop solar adoption will slow down.

The skill that compounds in the AI era isn’t prompting. It’s knowing what not to build.

[Eshank Vaish @eshankvaish]

AI reduces effort. It doesn’t reduce responsibility. If anything, you need stronger judgment because mistakes are easier to produce.

[Eshank Vaish @eshankvaish]

AI is great at generating answers.

It’s not great at:
• asking clarifying questions
• understanding business constraints
• predicting long-term impact

That part is still our job.

The biggest candidate mistake I notice:

Trying to prove they’re smart instead of trying to understand the problem.

Interviews reward collaboration, not just performance.

[Eshank Vaish @eshankvaish]

Most interviews are really testing how you think when you’re uncertain.

[Eshank Vaish @eshankvaish]

My debugging got faster when I stopped reading code first and started reproducing the issue carefully.

Understanding the conditions is usually harder than fixing the bug.

[Eshank Vaish @eshankvaish]

@akshaymarch7 I feel AI works best when you stop treating it like a tool and start treating it like a teammate you need to supervise.

[Eshank Vaish @eshankvaish]

Biggest resume mistake I made while preparing for interviews:

I described technology.
Interviewers cared about impact.

[Eshank Vaish @eshankvaish]

Frontend habits that reduced my bugs significantly:

• debug with breakpoints, not guesses
• keep state close to the component that uses it
• name things so comments become unnecessary

Most issues were architecture, not logic.

[Eshank Vaish @eshankvaish]

Also, interviewers rarely care about how many technologies you know in most cases.
They care whether you understand consequences of using them.

[Eshank Vaish @eshankvaish]

Most interview prep advice focuses on adding skills.

My progress accelerated when I did the opposite:
I reduced surface area and went deep enough to defend every decision I wrote on my resume.
