change is the only constant

Do Google only hire competitive programmers?
No, You can crack Google without doing competitive programming. But when it comes to getting shortlisted, Google often looks for certain signals:
• Strong coding profiles with good ratings
• Participation in Google events or programs
• Strong college brand or exceptional achievements
For Software Engineer roles, getting shortlisted can be quite difficult without some of these signals, even with a referral.
From what I've observed, Google does seem to prefer candidates with a competitive programming background. But there's no hard and fast rule.
You don't need CP to crack Google, but you do need strong DSA skills. That's non-negotiable.

Andrej Karpathy spent 2h showing how he actually uses AI day to day

he's a co-founder of OpenAI and led AI at Tesla, so when he shows how he works, it’s worth watching

and the whole session is just him telling the machine what he wants in simple terms, like he's briefing a coworker

watch what's actually happening the entire time:

> he describes the task in normal words
> it goes off and does the work
> he glances at the result and nudges it with one more sentence

that's the whole skill, and you've had it since you learned to talk

the only gap between that and a worker that runs on its own is handing that sentence a schedule and the tools to act

check his work, then build the version that keeps working when you stop

Google just dropped a new LLM!

adulting really humbles you. i finally understand why some people go quiet, stop posting, or just disappear from social media.

BEFORE YOU APPLY TO ANOTHER JOB, run your LinkedIn through Claude. It reads your profile like a $200/hr career consultant, finds 5 gaps, rewrites every section. Here are the prompts:

I’m in love with this sentence:

“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”

I landed a ₹3L/month in hand remote job at a YC backed startup with 0 years of full time experience.

I want every one of you to do the same. On campus placement is a scam and it is much better to look for global opportunities.

This is a no BS guide on how you can do the same.

I am sharing my personal experience and the strategies used by my friends working in global roles.
