Tum student ho..
Tumhaare paas na internship hai na full time job hai
Na tumlog build in public karte ho
Na tumlog kuch sikh rahe ho
Na tumlog influencer ho
Toh fir ye har ek ghante mai ek do tweet and sabke post mai tumlog ke comments kyu rehte hai
Thoda padhaai karlo abb
Damn!! how come every college is facing the same issue
A college where there is no attendance criteria and and less fees is better than going to these brain rots
Bhai if you are in the 8th sem and you haven't even touched coding.
What did you do for the first 7 semesters?
And how come during the 8th sem you are asking how to start code and your resume is a 3-page love letter to HR?
Maybe you will like management or analyst-type roles.
This is what I call a good DM.
I got the entire context of his situation.
Every question is clearly defined.
No broad, vague questions.
No "hi" or "hello", just the direct main point.
Because of this, I was able to give him clear answers without any if else conditions
tech twitter is currently divided into three groups
funny people:
- who can be smart and also funny.
- frequently drops intelligent posts
- even their shitposts are good to read and can give you some insights
smart people:
- tweets are packed with high level intelligence
- few
When you are bored, pick up a book, a cube, or simply sit idle rather than picking up your phone and watching some short content that will eventually shorten your attention spans, and see where that simple habit shift takes you.
some of you were asking me about ml-llm resources.
i'll share what i've done so far, and as i keep going, i'll keep you posted on what else i find
resources are in the below subtweets
p.s i do not believe in roadmaps and this is just me sharing the resources i used till now :)
Work hard, work smart
These are just big scams
The real deal is iteration
Iterate your ideas, and projects as many times as possible.
Iterate, iterate, iterate, iterate, Iterate, iterate, iterate, Iterate, iterate, and iterate.
This is how you will really learn more in less.
the biggest flex that I currently have is that i know 75% of my company codebase
If I close my eyes and think of files, the code lines will start appearing and they will start mapping with the files they have been used. huge mind map
(i have read my codebase more than 1000time)
You want to see how I used to write code during my 2nd-3rd sem?
Was cleaning my desk and holy sh*t, found my project book where I use to write concepts on how to do something
Checkout the 🧵 for some extremely nostalgic projects that I did at that time.
No AI bots to help me;)
I started my dsa prep in 2021.
Completed around 250 LC questions.
Still had no confidence in solving most of them.
Called one of my super saiyan college senior(ss attached) for help thinking that collage will give me some on campus placement.
Now 0 hope from college.

This is the worst thing college can do to a student.
As a college, you should support them in building their careers, if not actively, then at least help them passively.
The assignments are not going to help them survive after college, but if they get jobs, that will definitely
Don't put extra effort into remembering the syntax of a language.
If you code enough, you will eventually learn it without any extra effort.
It is similar to how the more times you use a math formula, the more it becomes a part of muscle memory.
So practice more!!
Drop your leetcode profile🔗
i will review your leetcode profile based on the contest, questions solved on each topic, and how many easy, med, or hard you have done.
Also will give you some feedbacks
You all underestimate the power of dry runs a lot.
Do at least 2-3 dry runs before coding something and 1 dry run after coding.
This helps a lot in pattern recognition and finding small mistakes in your logic.
I had an internship in my 3rd year, the internship was so much overworking that in a month I rarely used to get myself a day off, almost all sat and sun I was working. Additional to college and all the stuff.
..time skip..
In 4th year, I joined another company and there I used
Most of us are trying to upskill ourselves in this job market.
Some are students who haven’t secured their first job.
Some are new to the industry and fear layoffs so learning new things to stay relevant.
No one can predict how the tech landscape will change. But everyone can
Bro I failed, I don't know anything, I can't, I'm not capable..
Why do we fail?......
So that we can learn, pick ourselves up, and do our best not to repeat it
So now go and do your thing!
If you are anxious about the future, I think you are on the right path because now you just need to meet the skill demands of that future.
Boredom -> haven't exposed yourself to potential futures.
Anxiety -> thought too far into the future and didn't have the skill demanded.
I realized this during my 3rd year that if you are losing interest in life or anything then you should just go deeper into it rather than just ignoring or accepting it and look for the solutions and it will automatically bring back interest in your life
a hope tied with reality
All of you need to stop writing/reading tweeter posts and go code.
The procrastination and amount of bookmarking for later make this tweeter completely useless for finding helpful resources for learning programming.
Nobody knows what they're talking about. Yet they like,
if you have high expectations, anything other than a great result will throw you off course. bouncing back from failures will become more difficult over time.
trade high expectations for a commitment to your goal. and understand that failure and doubt is a key part of process.

when we try to learn a new skill, like playing chess. at first, we feel overwhelmed by the huge number of rules, strategies, and possible moves. but, as we practice and gain experience, our brain starts to recognize patterns and make connections between
If you wanted to help them, you would have put a clear image not a blurry image as engagement bait.
Guys this is the same as "interested" in the LinkedIn comment section.
Not having strong math skills can really hold you back as an engineer.
I’ve found that every time I learn more math,
it opens up new possibilities
with algorithms and software
that I didn't even know about before.
It's like dropping new DLCs in your game.
"IQ and being smart is the reason for my failure" is just a copium you are giving yourself for not owning your faults in decisions.
IQs follow a normal distribution curve which means most people have very similar IQs and that little IQ difference is not going to determine

Do not settle for just copying code or doing the minimum to get by, but really diving deep into learning, tackling challenges, and building something you're proud of.
Mediocrity might feel safe in the short term, but the regret of not reaching your potential is far heavier. It's
You want to put 3hrs a day and want something good in return for your coding
BRAVOO you made it into the bottom 10%
Awake from your slumber and see how the world is changing and moving in a new direction, embrace it now, or just suffer the suffering that you didn't even choose
youthubers don't know the consequences they can create by influencing first year students.
i really think they don't understand the scale at which they create a domino effect.
let's be clear about something:
the path you have chosen is going to be a difficult one.
your new life is going to cost your old one.
it's going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction.
it's going to cost you your relationships and friends.
it's going to cost
most of the european and american startups expect this.
as an example during my interview at xyz I was grilled this way
> the first round was dsa round(2 med hard questions)
> the second was a mix of system design and machine coding
> the third was the framework round like
So i had the knowledge of aiml in bits and pieces. finally decided to learn it from scratch again because of llms.
this is my logs that i have started writing from 10th april.
and this was the reason i was not active on twitter for the last 8-9 days.

Being responsive in a team is soo underrated!!
I literally built my reputation because of this.
The entire team is extremely comfortable with me; tech and non tech people likewise. And because of this sometimes I get random opportunities.
Be responsive and own your work!!!!
@saurabhyadavz
wtf is this, most of my work day goes into planning and coding. and here this dude is having breaks more than the coding hours.
realizing that these types of people are influencing freshers. freshers you are doomed if you are having this mindset
A small piece from the larger conversation:
My senior to me🗿
"You figure out what code to write and I will figure out what code not to write"
Today's chat was epic! It's definitely going down in the career highlight reel!!
Building a personal project is one of the best ways to learn coding.
It gives you practical experience, showcases your skills, and allows you to create something you’re passionate about.
Develop web apps, mobile apps.
Experiment with aiml.
Make new hardware stuffs.
Just do
Stop putting invisible barriers in front of yourself as an excuse for not just sitting there and learning some new sh*t
Don't give yourself
an excuse.
Just go
do it.
