My company gave me unlimited access to the latest AI models. As a full stack dev, my job's been pretty easier with AI tools recently. With a salary as high as 68lpa, having 16yoe and all the best of tools and free time I'm wondering if I can do something or learn something that helps me start a business or atleast become future proof in my career.

Whenever I think I should build this platform or tool or extension, I either see a million other devs do the same or that's something that won't survive in the market for an hour.

Have you ever been in such a situation where you've all that you've ever dreamt of but can't really do anything about it but just worry thinking about the date that this comfort will kill your job one day.

I am writing this at 1am guys. You can imagine what all fears might be running in my mind.

We’ve all been there - you’re sitting in a hostel in Hyderabad or an office in Vizag, you hear someone talk or use a specific phrase, and your brain instantly goes: "Yep, they are from my native place." > Aside from the obvious slang words, what are the subtle body language quirks, specific habits, or ways of answering a question that completely betray a Sikkolu native?

I'm daring to post this because of reddit anonymity.

Call me names or memes. But why doesn't this thread encourage discussion on sensible topics like this or other by other redditors. While I see outfit comparisons, biryani comparisons, icecream comparisons gaining much attention, anything about data centres, climate, real action or common sense missing attention and debate.

Am I missing an algorithm or is reddit not the place I should look for?

Past 10 years, we've seen many areas around vizag and nearby districts like Vzm, sklm getting many road widenings. Leading to tree cuttings on a huge scale. I remember green tunnel roads when I was travelling in childhood. All gone.

Is it that no one cares or is waiting for magic to happen, just like me?

I'm planning to go on planting seeds and plants all along whenever I find time. No matter how many survive. Easy to leave it to the govt. But ultimately if 10% survive, I consider it a win.

Am I foolish? Am I alone in this? Am I wrong by doing so? Is it a punishable offence? Do govt have plans and not do intentionally?

I've been giving interviews for senior dev positions for the past 100 days. With 12 yeo, I didn't get a single call from LinkedIn but got from referrals. I managed to clear interviews with them for 6 companies till round 3,4. Was about to get an offer for all of them, but got a smooth rejection call or mail afterwards. Ngl, I used AI at times. But not completely reliant. 2 went till round 5 - extra technical. I'm losing hope. Not getting motivation to start the day. To apply and beg for referrals again. To start again from resume, intro, tech, hackerrank, live interview, at last rejection.

Did something worked out for anyone? How do you motivate yourself? Any working solution? Each interview killed 3 weeks time. Nad it's only getting late.

Context: 9 YOE, Male. Data engineer. I took a career break of 6 months trying freelancing. Reason being burnout from my regular job. No payroll. Now trying for a regular job back again. The fifth one in 9 years.

Was earning 55 LPA. Now I've set my expectations as 55 LPA only, thinking that could land me faster after break.

1. Am I doing the wrong bargain? Should I have gone with a higher, saying 30% hike expected as per industry standards?

2. Is there any such thing as an industry standard?

3. Will the HR consider it as break or freelancing as continuity?

It's all marriage season about to begin and already began in and around vizag. DJ nuisance is all back into form. And the season continues till Dusshera.

Forget the masses, is someone from Police department, higher in the govt, who's not linked with voters, not at all concerned with this issue?

Let's not bring religion here. But are people really enjoying the high frequency sounds which are creating heart palpitations in young and old?

Did anyone succeed in taking action at this? Any hope insight for eradicating this evil culture?

Is there a department that takes complaints seriously in Andhra that solves this issue?
