I want to socialise/meet new people, any place/activities near Baner?

Any outdoor cafe/restaurant to hangout? Any good club?

Wanted to share a personal win. Tier 1 city. Today I completed 3 years since I started my first job. Since then I switched twice.

Breakdown of my investments:

2 Lakhs in savings account
2 Lakhs in stocks
4 Lakhs in FD
6 Lakhs in mutual funds
6 Lakhs in Gold (physical)

My first salary was 8 LPA.
After 8 months switched to 11 LPA
After 1 year got salary hike, became 12 LPA
Few months back, switched and got 17 LPA.

I didn’t made any big purchases, the only notable ones are buying an iPhone, PS5 and an unhealthy amount of Zomato.

The biggest helpful factor was my family don’t need my money, they are self sufficient.

My question: what should be my next steps?

My humble advice to all the juniors and students, please stop using AI for doing day to day coding tasks, project or any sort of learning. It is destroying your ability of learning and making you a weak engineer!!

A bit of context about myself, I’m a senior MLOps engineer at a large US based Fortune 500 company. I’ve been working in various domains well before AI. I’ve mentored juniors both before and after era of ChatGPT. And I have seen a rather terrible revelation!

Whenever I gave juniors a task which is often 3-5 lines of if else or for loop code. they gave it to ChatGPT. The ChatGPT then try to generate a bloated 50 lines of code. When I ask the junior to explain the code. Obviously I will not get any answer from them.

I interview a bunch of new grads, they would throw around the buzzword frameworks. But when I asked them what exactly it means or what is it used for. For is the internal working at least on the surface level. No response!

The way I learned development and o believe most of my fellow seniors would agree with me is my coming in front of an obstacle and scanning documentation, going through stack overflow; digging codebase and most importantly trial and error.

This process is seem to be out of touch from today’s kids. I would highly recommend people to not use AI at least during the process of learning
