Glad to see Laalu alive to see his family getting decimated at the polls.
Thousands of 90s kids who had to live away from their parents in boarding schools just to avoid getting kidnapped, thousands who had to forfeit their ancestral land as a bribe to get a clerical job, millions who studied hard under a lantern or a petromax to somehow escape the jungle raj. All of them, across the world, doing well, now looking at their phone screens and the numbers, and smiling. This is victory.
My coworker got promoted over me.
He was worse at coding. Better at politics.
I wrote better code. Fixed more bugs. Shipped faster.
He talked in meetings. Took credit. Played the game.
He got the promotion. I got "keep up the good work".
That's when I realized: corporate rewards politics, not performance.
Six months later I quit. Started freelancing.
Now I make 3x his salary. No politics. No credit-stealing. Just solving problems and getting paid directly.
The best developers rarely get promoted. They get used.
Companies optimize for compliance and communication. Not competence.
If you're technically great but politically terrible, you'll never win at corporations.
Leave. Build your own thing. Get paid for your actual value.
A brand new gift from President Donald J. Trump to his old friend. They lost eight Planes and making 1.4 billion stupid in 2025. When everything is being watched by satellites.
PHZ.

@GabbbarSingh You do not need to justify how you consume your wealth, as those who accuse will also not do so or are not doing so. It is just jealousy in the form of accountability! Keep up your good deed, Bro!

Truth could be funny and comedy can be without abuses, nudity and vulgarity- and still with a strong social messaging - a tight slap on Propaganda
I grew up in the system and tried my best in Pune. My final-year project on parallel computing won several national awards but found no takers when I approached service companies to develop it further. They sought J2EE or mainframe skills. Most colleagues dreamed of American assignments and showed no interest in productization. I agree that employment, like industrialization, follows a similar pattern. It's a hard truth to accept. The service industry, driven by easy money, is just one part of this systemic failure but dominates it.
