Most stressful time to work in IT!

Stressed about traffic.
Stressed about the job.
Stressed about taxes.
And stressed about not even getting basic amenities like good roads. 😮‍💨

These days whenever I hear words “Imagine…” or “Have you ever wondered…”

I immediately lose interest!

AWS Lambda vs AWS Batch

Lambda → Short, event-driven tasks
Batch → Large-scale, long-running batch jobs

Lambda = “Run this when an event happens.”
Batch = “Process thousands of jobs efficiently.”

Toxic movie….

It’s like fine wine. 🍷

To truly appreciate it, you need to have a taste for bitterness.

I tried explaining “Reliability” concepts through a Canva design. 😄

I’m really loving Canva lately.
It has become my little stress buster. 😋

Privileged people often don’t realize they’re privileged. 😅

I feel there are 3 stages of growth in an engineer’s career.

Stage 1: You’re just starting out.
Everything is new. You’re curious, eager to learn, and excited by every small discovery.

Stage 2: You become a senior engineer.
You know how things work. You understand the systems, you’re confident, and you can solve problems quickly.

This is probably the easiest stage to crack interviews because you have the knowledge and the confidence.

Stage 3: You become obsessed with one question: Why?

You already know how things work, but that’s no longer enough. You keep going deeper down the rabbit hole to understand why they work that way.

This stage is strange.

You’re no longer trying to impress anyone. You’re trying to understand.

You ask more questions than you answer.
You challenge assumptions.
You think before speaking.

Ironically, this can make interviews harder.

Sometimes curiosity is mistaken for uncertainty.
Deep thinking is mistaken for not knowing.
And because you’re exploring the “why,” you may come across as less confident than someone who has memorized the “how.”

It’s a strange stage to be in…

What do cab and auto drivers talk about all day?
Every time I get in, they’re already on a call with someone 🤨

Work From Office: The Real Collaboration!

Humans compare themselves to others because, for a very long time, knowing if you were doing better or worse than the people around you helped you survive.

This habit is very old. It happens automatically in our brains.

Even today it still works in some ways, but it also creates envy, stress, and constant checking of who has more money, more followers, or more success.
