If you want to do well in your tech career, focus on improving your communication skills. The most important part of this is being able to speak and write well in English, which is widely used in business. Being able to express your ideas well in English can really help you

Let's ask those so-called new grads to communicate effectively, capture clear design, write quality documentation, write code without breaking builds, resolve multiple merge conflicts, take ownership of features...and then we can have fresh hot pan "takes".
When people think
My really hot take is that leetcode is a way to reject older candidates
Older engineers are often much slower at leetcode which is fundamentally a party trick

we studied more from books than from "influencers", and hence have built a deep interest in the domain; so much hat even after 15 years we remember the fundamentals.

Our curiosity cannot be a function of anyone around. It has to be a function of only our deep desire to learn and perceive the world around us. If we convert our curiosity to become a function of someone else, it inevitably will wither away in no time.

Something that every engineer must do. There is somehow a resistance to do this. 🤷
Eng growth hack: diagram every task or project end-to-end. Should only take like 20-30 minutes. You’ll identify the boundaries of your knowledge quickly and you’ll uplevel your technical communication skills. Plus if you can diagram well, people will think you’re smart.

Shouldn't make fun of it. There are many rural areas where Jio/Airtel haven't gone; they don't see a biz case for it. Only BSNL does that. Even today many use 2G feature phones. This can help to move them to 4G; Gov can then decommission 2G.

Oh man! Tell me about it. I've seen codebases that have such funny notions not just about functions but also about the granularity of modularization, as if there is a law written in stone that will be infringed if it isn't adhered to. Modularity for the sake of it is stupidity.
Functions in your code should be no longer than five lines ... 🤦♂️
This has to be the stupidest practice I have seen many codebases follow. This just fills the codebase with a ton of tiny functions that do nothing important but call other abstract functions surrounded by some

Dressing elegantly is definitely valued. It certainly makes a good first impression. Something that the GenZs must certainly pay attention to. 🙂
Call me old school, but if you're asked to interview a job in person, you dress up.
The idea of wearing jeans or shorts to virtually all job interviews is entirely misaligned to sending the message that you're taking the job seriously.
