I’ve been living with my parents in the same house for 13+ years. This neighbour moved in about a year ago, and since then several people have had issues with her behaviour. Most people are scared to speak up because they’re worried she’ll harass or taunt them afterwards.

The issue started because of extremely loud noise from her house. It was so loud that we could feel thuds in our house and couldn’t even hear each other properly. I recorded the common passageway with audio to document the noise and sent the video only to the house owner. There is no person visible in the video.

Now she is accusing me of being a pervert and claiming I recorded her while she was bathing. I have never recorded her or anyone in her family in any private situation.

She has also threatened to get women to beat me so there won’t be a legal case against her, and said that even if my owner makes me leave, she won’t let me live peacefully.

I have the original video and the conversations.

What should I do? Should I make a written complaint to the police now, or speak to a lawyer first? I’m mainly worried about protecting myself against these false allegations and threats.

Edit - she's telling to people on phone that she'll capture my dad's bike licence plate and track him for 1-2 days, and follow him. There are empty alcohol bottles in her house itseems. So she'll take 2-3 bottles and smash them on my dad's head when there's nobody in the road. Even if i evict the soon, i will definitely somebody's head in that house sooner.

10 months into Flutter dev, shipped 5-7 apps on Play Store, sole mobile dev at my company. Cleared round 1 of an interview easily. Round 2: had to live-code a REST API call — fetch, parse, display. Froze completely.

Turns out a lot of what I "know how to build" has actually been me directing AI while I handle the architecture. Writing raw API code alone, under pressure, with no AI, I genuinely couldn't. Got so anxious I left the call mid-interview.

Regretted it instantly. Messaged the interviewer apologizing. He asked me to rejoin and just explain what was happening, so I did, told them straight that I'm heavily AI-dependent for from-scratch code. They were decent about it, said everyone starts somewhere, but said leaving the call wasn't a good look. Waiting to hear back, bracing for a no.

Not posting for sympathy, posting because I think a lot of us can ship real products with AI-assisted workflows while our raw fundamentals quietly fall behind. Uncomfortable gap to admit. Fixable one too. Starting deliberate no AI practice now regardless of how this turns out.

Anyone else hit this wall? How'd you rebuild fundamentals without slowing your actual output?

Quick background: 2025 grad from a tier-3 Bangalore college. Had two offers lined up (TCS, HCL), both pulled the "restructuring due to AI" card before joining. Sat unemployed till Sept 2025. My dad pushed me to join my uncle's small ERP company for "experience."

Company had 6 people pre-COVID itseems. Office politics + one guy poaching the rest left just 3 of us now, including my uncle. I'd only ever touched MERN before this — taught myself Flutter from scratch in 4 months, no mentor, no guidance, and rebuilt every one of his old .NET desktop ERP tools as Flutter apps across mobile, web, and desktop.

Pay timeline: 4 months unpaid, then ₹5k, ₹7k, ₹12k, ₹12k. Then came the pitch — "6 months hard push, launch these as SaaS, then we scale." I said yes. 4-5 hour daily commute. Gave up my health, my time, everything. That was 7 months ago. Zero customers, zero revenue, zero progress. Unpaid again for the last 3 months. Asked for this month's salary — got "I'm in a financial crisis, give me time."

I now do roughly 70% of the actual work — frontend, cleaning up after our "backend dev" (who once wiped 3 clients' databases and got a soft talking-to, while I've been screamed at and had a hand raised at me for asking a doubt), plus building websites and doing SEO. All for ₹12k a month, whenever it shows up.

I was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. At 23. Can't sit or stand for long, barely sleeping. My dad wants me job hunting but I barely have the bandwidth to prep for interviews right now. I'm the eldest son, so there's real pressure to start contributing at home too.

I know leaving is the answer on paper. But I'm scared a mobile dev role won't come fast, and it feels like walking away from responsibility. If you've been stuck in something like this — how did you get out, and how did you job hunt while still inside it?

Planning to enroll in Innomatics Research Labs' Advanced Data Science + GenAI course (the \\\~6 month one covering Python, SQL, ML, deep learning, NLP, and a GenAI/LLM module toward the end). Fee comes to almost 1L, which is a significant amount for my family right now, so I want to be sure before committing.

Background: B.E in Computer Science, graduated last year. I've gone through their syllabus PDF in detail, sat through two of their free webinars, and looked at whatever reviews exist on Google and Quora, but most of those read either overly polished or suspiciously vague, so I don't fully trust them either way.

Specific things I'm trying to find out from people who've actually been through it: how responsive the trainers are when you're stuck during live sessions versus recorded content, whether the GenAI/LLM portion is actually updated to reflect current tools or is just bolted onto an older ML curriculum, what the batch size and pace are actually like, and for anyone who completed the program, whether the placement assistance led to an actual offer and roughly what kind of role and pay range that was.

Mainly want to avoid a situation where the course looks good on paper but doesn't translate into anything concrete, the way a lot of engineering programs ended up feeling for many of us. Any detailed experience, good or bad, is genuinely useful here
