I was wondering the same thing last night..

Even my mother cannot cook food and hand it to me as fast as 10 minutes!
Even maggi takes longer too cook, if you're cooking it properly.

So how are Zepto, Swiggy and Zomato planning to do it?

The answer is, highly unhealthy ultra processed half cooked food!

No no, I am not saying that it'll be bad in taste, it'll be tasty as hell for sure, how else will they survive then, but I can vouch that this food will be highly ultraprocessed and unhealthy for us.

Please don't sacrifice your health just to get food delivered in 10 minutes!

How the hell can you cook food and deliver it in just 10 minutes???

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

Every office has one unspoken conflict…

No, not deadlines.
Not promotions.
Not even stolen tiffins.

We’re talking about the real war:
THE AIR CONDITIONER.

In our office, it’s a daily drama.

On one side:
The “Antarctica Squad” — people who want the A/C at 16°C and dress like they’re hiking Everest.

On the other:
The “Sun Lovers” — begging for warmth, wearing shawls like they’re in Shimla.

And then…
There’s me.
The neutral party.
The one just trying to survive — not sweat, not shiver, just exist.

Every 30 minutes:

Someone lowers the temp.

Someone raises it.

Someone secretly switches off the A/C.

Maintenance gets called.

A meeting is held.

One colleague even brought their own fan. Another carries a blanket. I’m thinking of installing a thermometer on my desk.

At this point, the A/C remote has more office politics than our team meetings.

Lesson:
Forget team bonding activities.
If we can survive the A/C wars together, we’re already family. ❄️🔥

Build robust software and ensure quality through collaboration with software, QA, and testing professionals.

Engineering - Software & QA

I'm holding offer from Boeing, Citi and Ford which one should I choose? My priority is work life balance and job security at some point.
Boeing - 35LPA Team Lead
Citi - 33.5 LPA Sr. Software Engineer
Ford - 37LPA Team Lead
Iris software - 28 LPA WFH - Sr. Software Engineer

Which one should I select?

And here we are sharing cabs, splitting zomato orders, and listening to “you need to take more ownership” from managers who won’t even approve WFH 

Matlab itna padhai, degrees, night shifts, crying over appraisals all to get a 5% hike and an extra coffee coupon.

And then celebs? Wake up and get gifted crores worth of cars like it’s a Diwali hamper. Bhai humne kya hi galat kar diya career choose karke 

This system is wild. Some people are born with Range Rovers, some are born explaining Jira tickets on zoom at 9 pm.
Life balance toh chhodo, ab toh logic bhi nahi mil raha

Janhvi kapoor got a 5 Cr car. I got a 5% hike. Life is fair?

Secure your digital infrastructure and leverage technology through discussions on IT and information security.

IT & Information Security

Recently, a CEO (an IITian, no less) shared something that should’ve been a wake-up call for the Indian tech scene.......but most of us are too busy posing on LinkedIn to notice.

Out of over 1,000 applications for a 50 LPA tech role, the majority submitted absolute trash for a basic coding task. 

Yes......basic. Not a system design round
Just a simple task to test if they can code.

And the result?
Poor-quality code
No understanding of the basics

The same people call themselves “Tech leads,” “Experts,” or “SDEs” on LinkedIn, write long motivational posts, and act like they’re running the world. 

Let’s be honest:
Many in the tech world are all talk and no skill.
They’re more focused on looking smart online than actually being good at their job.

This isn’t about insulting anyone........it’s about calling out a culture where everyone techie wants a big salary, but very few want to do the hard work to deserve it.

Shame on you, techies!

The pay feels illegally low. Companies are doing zero to negligible original work. They think software engineering is something where you hire people who work 20 hours a day for 20k salary. I recently spoke to a company called bluebuck research located in dingy Kaikhali. That company had the audacity to tell me since I have been preparing for UPSC, I might not be able to answer his dumb Python questions when I have a GSOC internship and a NIT degree. Like shove your 30k jobs up your whatever. If you cannot interview, politely reject- don’t gauge candidates from gaps when people in US without having degrees are in programming jobs. 0 sense. 

Plus what is this illegally low pay to everyone and not just me? Has labour become that damn cheap? It is reprehensible.
