Looking for people managing community/local meetups to help us build a community ecosystem

Looking for people across various cities who organise local communities or meetups.

We're building community eco-system rather then communities being spread out, something like a market place for events and communities and would love to connect with community managers, meetup organisers, and anyone who enjoys bringing people together.

If that's you (or you know someone), drop a comment or DM, we can discusses more if you are interested!

I have noticed that meetups and such community ecosystem is very active and well organized in other cities like Bangalore or Hyderabad,

I am looking for some people who could help us replicate and even improvise it in Chennai, work to build an active community ecosystem in Chennai, not as a work but if its something that you enjoy along the way, text me if any of you are interested

Had my exam on may 19,

interview on June 8th,

July 13 got document verification,

July 15th got a call from the dv people asking for clarification on my second class on my degree, my cgpa is 6.27, they asked for the grading table in my degree and my current job appointment letter along with last 3 months payslips,

No response yet, the suspense and the slow progress is killing me, its like hearing a clocking ticking in a complete silent background. Lol, any info if I will make it despite having second grade on my degree?

Instead of running Kafka/Redis for batching DB writes as a solo dev, I built a sharded in-process Go library with a WAL.

I'm building a semantic social platform solo (pre-traction, still early), and one of the requirements I set for myself early on was to build for scale from day one, but stay lean enough that I'm not drowning in ops as a one-person team, and since I'm paying for servers with no revenue.

A recurring need across the backend was to group high-throughput events by key, batch them, and process the batch without losing data if the process crashes. Kafka does this, but it's heavy memory footprint, cluster ops, broker management none a good pick when you're a one person team trying to ship product, with minimal infrastructure management ops.

So I built Flux: a sharded, concurrent-safe, in-process event batching library for Go, with an optional write-ahead log for durability.

Core design:

  • Keys are sharded across N buffers (configurable) to keep lock contention low — each shard has its own lock, so writes to different shards never block each other
  • Batches flush on size threshold or time interval, whichever hits first
  • Optional WAL with three durability tiers (SyncAlwaysSyncPeriodicallySyncOS) so you can pick your durability/throughput tradeoff instead of it being baked in
  • Tombstone-based deletes in the WAL (O(1)) with lazy compaction, instead of rewrite-on-delete

Benchmarks (Intel Ultra 7 255H, 16 vCPUs running on Ubuntu 24 with WSL):

Shards ns/op ~ops/sec
1 169.1 5.9M
8 122.7 8.1M
32 96.3 10.4M
64 90.0 11.1M
128 87.0 11.5M

WAL write latency ranges from ~4.2K writes/sec (SyncAlways, full fsync per write) up to ~1.25M writes/sec (SyncOS).

Passes go test -race -count=1 ./... clean, with concurrent stress tests (100 goroutines × 10k ops) and end-to-end crash-recovery tests (write → kill → reopen → verify replay).

Repo: https://github.com/ArunDtej/flux

Using this intensively across many core modules in my backend, like at counters for votes, user reputation, content popularity, keeping data in sync across multiple databases through batches and in many other eventually consistent data cases.

Like I said, it's used in production for my products so I will be keeping tracks of any potential future bugs, tho not gonna be a active repo as it already fulfills its purpose.

Initially it was just a basic internal module, but later I thought it can be used in my other go projects aswell so I replicated the functionality with proper WAL and other features, and it is heavily AI assisted and vibe coded but I was the one deciding the architecture and trade offs.

would appreciate any code reviews or feedbacks or roasts on this :'D

When can I get my next update from TCS

had my
NQT test on 19th may solved 2 coding questions
Prime Interview on 8th June,

Idk technical and management rounds didn't push me much,

HR went like this

Checked my certs and payslips,
Asked me if I m willing to relocate and my relocation preferences,
Informed me about the 1 year bond and that I m liable to verify my documents at the 3rd party bg
Asked me about my notice period

Have my TCS prime interview today and I m not qualified in regards to my documents

Just read the interview invite mail which says there is this FIRST CLASS requirement, that I need to pass my btech in first class, my documents clearly have second class mentioned, sighs, story of my life!

How strict are they with this, I m planning to attend the interview regardless

"I built something interesting but nobody sees it because I don't have an audience."

"I built something interesting but nobody sees it because I don't have an audience."

LinkedIn, X, Insta every social platforms seems broken,

but are they really broken? or are they simply not optimized for outcome driven connection making or productive networking, they are optimized to retail your attention and convert it into profits and if you look at that they are doing wonders and are successful in a huge margin!

And what about people using social media to truly connect with other real people rather than the noisy self proclaimed celebrities/influencers? well that thought struck me and I spent my last few months building Cosine (https://mycosine.dev)

Cosine is a place where the algorithm is optimized for outcome and relevance, find content by relevance rather than popularity, no more endless influencer bed time stories,

If you are a developer who has interesting stuff that you are working on and care about quality networking feel free to Join us,

Currently we are primarily focusing on developer community, and incase if you are someone managing a community and you are still on WhatsApp group, then we can offer you a better place to manage your community, just reach us out we will help you with onboarding which takes less than few minutes :'D

Built a small community for Bangalore builders who are tired of posting into the void

Hey everyone,

I'm building a social platform called Cosine and I'm currently onboarding the first batch of users.

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of smart people have interesting things to say, projects they're building, or ideas they want feedback on—but almost nobody sees them unless they already have a network.

The people who often create the most value are the ones starting things:

  • Founders building in public
  • Developers sharing what they're working on
  • People looking for collaborators
  • Early community builders
  • People posting thoughtful content but getting buried by algorithms and follower counts

So I created a Bangalore Builders community on Cosine.

The goal is simple:

  • Post and get discovered without needing a large audience.
  • Meet relevant people from day one.
  • Have discussions driven by interests and what you're building, not by who you know.
  • Give early builders a place where visibility isn't locked behind years of networking.

The platform is still very early, and honestly that's why I'm posting here. I'm looking for the first people willing to help shape the community culture.

If you're building something, sharing ideas, looking for collaborators, or just want to meet other Bangalore startup folks, I'd love to have you join.

Not trying to sell a finished product. Just trying to gather a group of people who like building things and are willing to be early.

Drop a comment if that sounds interesting and I'll send over the details.

Launching Hyd Dev Community on Cosine – A dedicated space for Hyderabad developers and builders

Hey everyone,

I’m a systems engineer and indie developer based here in Hyderabad. Over the last few months, I’ve noticed that while our local tech ecosystem is massive, finding high-quality, focused tech networking can be surprisingly difficult. A lot of spaces tend to lean heavily toward superficial connections, referral hunting, or generic startup pitch decks.

It’s rare to find a dedicated space where the focus is strictly on engineering, architecture, and the actual craft of building software.

To bridge that gap, I’m starting the Hyd Dev Community.

Instead of setting up another high-noise WhatsApp group or Discord server, I’m hosting this on Cosine (mycosine.dev), a platform I’ve been developing. It’s an AI-native network designed to connect people based on semantic intent and shared technical interests, rather than standard social graphs.

What the community is focused on:

  • Engineering & Architecture: Deep-dives into actual implementation—whether you're optimizing backend infrastructure in Go or Rust, managing high-scale data layers, or configuring custom environments.
  • Casual, High-Value Networking: Meeting local peers, exchanging engineering insights, or finding potential co-founders in a relaxed, peer-to-peer setting.
  • Local Meetups: Moving the conversation offline for casual weekend coffee or tech-focused discussions around the city.

We are keeping this space entirely grounded and professional. No marketing jargon, no engagement-baiting, and no corporate broadcasts. Just a clean, high-signal network for local engineers who care about building solid technology.

If you’re a developer in Hyderabad looking for a focused community, we’d love to have you. You can find us directly on Cosine, or feel free to drop a comment or DM if you have any questions.

Gave my TCS nqt on 19th may, found the coding questions easy tho, is it me or are they easy?

already employed btw, but trying my luck in tcs, god knows about the the applitude part, I think I did mid excluding the numeric section(didn't even choose random options was just too awww to think, maybe attempted around 5!

coming to the coding part
1Q - solved 7/7 this one was such a beginner level question
2Q - solved 7/7 a bit tricky at the last test case

so I have already given this test before but I found questions to be not as easy as this ones last, wondering if anyone attended the test on 19th and whats your opinion,

and I would appreciate any hints on what interview I might get(keeping in mind my applitude scores are a mystery and my numerics are messed up), and when can I expect the results and interview?

I’m putting together a small WhatsApp group for people who are actually building — apps, startups, tools, anything.

Not for:

  • “I have an idea but…”
  • Passive scrolling
  • Motivation-only talk

For people who:

  • Are shipping (or trying to) or looking for serious collaborators/cofounders
  • Can share what they’re working on
  • Want honest feedback, not validation
  • Don’t mind a bit of bluntness
  • Willing to contribute and collaborate

The goal is simple:
→ Fewer people, higher signal
→ Share progress, blockers, lessons
→ Help each other move faster

I’m currently building backend-heavy systems (API infra, vector-based platforms, etc.), so ideally looking for devs / technical builders, but open to anyone serious.

If this sounds like your kind of space, drop a comment or DM.

If it turns into noise, I’ll just shut it down.

here's what I m shipping
