The effort you spend avoiding the work is often greater than the work itself.

Look at the software engineer difference...

Your seniors at 25:

Joined one company

Stayed 5 years
Bought a bike
Got married
Thought onsite was the dream

You at 25:

3 tabs open: LeetCode, LinkedIn, layoffs tracker
Paying for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and still debugging alone
4.5 LPA job with "great learning opportunities"
11 interview rejections
One side project nobody uses
One startup idea you keep renaming every month
Sleep schedule destroyed by deploys and doomscrolling
Saying "market is bad" but also knowing your resume is weak
Can explain microservices, cannot explain career gap to relatives
Learning system design for a job that wants 2 years experience for fresher salary

Your parents at 25:

Less options
Less confusion
Slower world
More certainty

You at 25:

Infinite content
Infinite comparison
Infinite advice
Very little clarity

Modern software engineers are not just competing with people from their city. They are competing with smart people from the whole internet.

That is why average effort does not work anymore.

So you need:

one real skill
one proof of work
one good story
and enough patience to not quit too early

The game is harder now, yes.

But for the ones who actually get serious, the upside is also much bigger.

I have started reading Concurrency in go by Katherine Cox Buday.

Will post insights of the same here.

[Jagrit @ItsRoboki]

"Just use Golang; Golang is an easier version of Rust."

A common misconception with many people is that Golang is easier and has concurrency, so it should be better?

WRONG!

I was just looking across to see why my personal task was faster using Rust and not Golang as I was a bit curious and wanted more details

Types of Operations
-> There are two types of operations
1. I/O-Bound Operations
2. CPU-Bound Operations

What's the difference?

I/O-Bound Operation
-> Any operation that is bound by Input and requires providing an Output is an I/O-bound operation
-> I/O-bound operations have shorter CPU bursts.

Note: CPU bursts refers to usage of CPU; in this case shorter CPU bursts mean short usage of CPU, as they only require cpu for a small amount of time generally as compared to CPU-bound operations

CPU-Bound Operations
-> Any operation that is going to use CPU for a long while and will be constantly computing
-> Eg: Calculating 1 Billion numbers in the Fibonacci series
-> These operations have longer CPU bursts

But why are we understanding this?
Weren't we discussing Rust and Golang?

Difference
-> Now think back about the first statement because the types of operations is what makes a major difference

-> Golang's goroutine scheduler is optimized to manage I/O-bound operations, making it excel at handling 1000s of I/O-bound operations

-> For CPU-bound tasks that benefit from parallelism without any slowness of garbage collectors, Rust is the best.

-> Using Tokio, one can get great speeds at IO-bound operations
-> And using rayon one can easily make CPU-bound operations

-> Golang can also do CPU-bound tasks using goroutines, but Rust's control over CPU operations due to its way of memory management just excels at it.

I still plan to study more on it, and am going to attach an image on the concept I'm studying right now

I think I’m about to enter a Go phase. Such a cool language. And performance is insane.

You don't lack motivation, you lack consequences. Nothing bad happens when you skip the work, so you keep skipping.

Got accepted into @ETHGlobal New Delhi, super excited to build and interact with web3 builders out there.

[Neelansh @ragexansh]

Built a custom shell in Go to understand how shells talk to the OS (even though Go isn’t ideal for shells because of its runtime).

Even Go abstracts os interactions, but looked into each method

Thinking of integrating LLM, inspired by @warpdotdev

Frontend is the most irritating part of a project,yet it's the most important when it comes to growth and user feedback,I thought I could cook up a frontend with just basics but in reality, it cooked me. Now,gonna learn this messy thing until I can code landing pages in my sleep
