I'm a .NET developer with 3 years of experience, and I'm currently looking for a job switch. The problem is that the .NET job market feels quite challenging right now. Many openings I come across require experience with legacy technologies like Windows Desktop Applications or ASP.NET Web Forms. Since these are older technologies with limited long-term growth, I'm unsure whether it's worth investing time in learning them just to switch jobs. I'm confused about what the best approach would be, should I continue focusing on .NET and keep applying for relevant roles? Or should I spend the next 3-4 months learning something new, like Java, AI/ML, or another in-demand technology, before switching? I'd really appreciate advice from developers who have been in a similar situation or are familiar with the current job market. Thanks in advance!

Is anybody looking to sell their hello interview subscription or willing to share the subscription?

Summar

• Tested the WhatsApp Cloud API while building a small-business project.
• Encountered what appeared to be a bug during setup.
• Removed my phone number from the Cloud API and requested account deletion.
• Meta confirmed the account would be deleted within 30 days.
• 1.5 years later, my phone number is still locked as a WhatsApp Business number.
• I've submitted countless support requests and still haven't found anyone who can fix it.

What Happened

Back in June 2025, I was experimenting with the WhatsApp Cloud API for a small-business project.

During setup, the "Test Number" option repeatedly failed. Later, I noticed several temporary numbers had somehow been added to my account without me creating them.

Since this was only a test account, I checked billing (it showed $0.00) and decided to remove everything.

On July 24, 2025, I removed my personal number from the Cloud API and requested complete account deletion.

Meta emailed me saying the account would be deleted after 30 days.

Instead, the moment I removed my number, I lost access to WhatsApp entirely.

After the deletion date passed, my number was still locked.

What I've Tried

Since then I've contacted:

• WhatsApp Support
• Meta Support
• Meta Developer Support
• WhatsApp Grievance Officer

I've also submitted numerous support tickets(50+) over the past 1.5 years, filed a Bug Bounty report, and even filed a complaint with India's GAC.

Nothing has restored access to my number.

Current Status

It's been 1.5 years, and my phone number is still registered as a WhatsApp Business number on Meta's backend.

I have screenshots of the deletion confirmation, support tickets, developer dashboard, and other documentation if anyone wants proof.

Locked number: +91 99614 50351

If anyone from Meta has seen this issue before—or knows of an actual escalation path—I'd really appreciate the help.

Otherwise, I hope this post prevents another developer from ending up in the same situation.

I'm trying to access the PM Internship portal (https://pminternship.mca.gov.in/login/) and the login page flat out refuses to load.

As developers, it is genuinely painful to see this happen over and over again with critical public infrastructure. Who is actually winning these development contracts, what tech stacks are they forcing into these projects, and why is there zero accountability for basic load management or uptime?

Every time a major portal launches, it crashes under the slightest bit of traffic. Who is hiring these agencies?

I'm entering my 7th semester of Computer Science and recently received an on-campus offer as a Digital Specialist Engineer at Infosys (6.25 LPA). I'm grateful to have an offer in this market, but my college has a placement policy that doesn't allow students with an offer to sit for more companies.

My long-term goal is to land a 10+ LPA software engineering or AI/ML role, so off-campus seems to be my only option now.

A bit about my profile:

• CSE undergraduate from a Tier-3 college in India
• 9.8 CGPA
• Multiple AI/ML and full-stack projects
• 1 AI/ML Internship at a startup.
• Comfortable with Python, FastAPI, React, SQL, and machine learning fundamentals
• Currently preparing DSA more seriously

Some questions I have:

1. Where did you find most of your interview opportunities? (LinkedIn, Wellfound, referrals, career pages, etc.)
2. How many applications did it take before you started getting interviews?
3. What made the biggest difference in getting shortlisted?
4. Should I focus mainly on DSA, projects, networking, referrals, or competitive programming?
5. Are there any companies or hiring platforms that freshers often overlook?
6. Is there anything you wish you had done during your 7th and 8th semesters?

I'm willing to put in the work over the next 6–8 months, and I'd really appreciate practical advice or lessons from your own journey.

Thanks in advance!

Need help from the developer & security community.

past some days khuch chutiye log BAT-BMS app use karke Bluetooth range me khadi e-rickshaws ko randomly disable kar rahe hain. Drivers ki daily earning isi par depend karti hai.

Examples:

https://www.instagram.com/p/DaQqvJgS3V-/

https://www.instagram.com/p/DaSQsRQImui/

https://www.instagram.com/p/DaP619hS3FN/

I have been looking into BAT-BMS code. These are current finding:

No cloud/backend, sab kuch local BLE par hota hai. (yeah this was obv ig but still worth mentioning)

Critical commands effectively unauthenticated.

Keypad phone use karne wale drivers ke liye "recovery app" bhi practical solution nahi hai.

I am trying to find a practical way to secure or recover deployed batteries without firmware changes, but so far we haven’t found anything solid.

If anyone has:

- Access to BAT-BMS/JBD battery hardware,

- Experience with firmware reverse engineering,

- Knowledge of BLE/BMS security,

please share your suggestions or insights.

Maybe together we can find a practical mitigation or recovery method.

This will likely require involvement from the Indian Government, CERT-In, and battery manufacturers, since the issue is not just with the app but with the deployed ecosystem.

Open to ideas. If we can find something practical that helps existing e-rickshaw drivers, it would have a huge impact.

Current constrains:

- Most drivers have keypad phone.

- Calling a mechanic nearby will use their whole day earning.

Hey everyone,

I’m a 23.M from Kerala, recently completed my MCA from a lower-tier/Tier-3 college. Honestly, the job hunt right after graduation was brutal. For the first month, I couldn’t find anything, and it was incredibly depressing. Eventually, through a referral, I managed to land a Web Developer internship at a very small company.

Here are the details of the internship:

Stack: PHP (Laravel), Angular, etc.

Type: Work from Home (WFH), completely unpaid for now.

Future: After 4 months, they might offer me a stipend/salary of ₹10,000/month.

Current status: I just completed 1 month here.

When I first started, I was super depressed because every tech forum/Reddit thread says "PHP is dead" or dying. It felt like I was investing time into a dead-end tech stack. Because of this, I started learning Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) in Python from the basics on the side. I already know Python (Django, Flask, and REST APIs).

I am facing a massive dilemma right now and need some brutal, realistic advice:

The 6-Month Dilemma: I know most IT companies don't value a 1-month internship on a resume; it needs to be at least 6 months to a year to look credible. Should I stick it out here for 6 months just to get the experience certificate and stable resume line, or is it a waste of time since it's unpaid and PHP?

The Python Pivot: If I finish 6 months here in PHP/Laravel and want to jump to Python roles, will that experience count? If a Python job description asks for "6 months to 1 year experience," can I apply with my 6 months of PHP experience and pitch my Django/Flask personal projects, or will HR instantly reject me?

Bangalore vs. Training Institutes: Should I drop this internship, pack my bags, and go to Bangalore to network/find walk-ins? I’ve heard people say that in Bangalore, "if you throw a stone in any room, it'll hit a developer or an HR." Alternatively, should I join an intensive boot camp/institute like Brototype back home to get placed?

I feel incredibly stuck between wanting a stable resume and wanting to work on a modern tech stack that has a higher salary ceiling. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

Since I'm making a app like chatgpt,.I wanna know from you guys what features does chatgpt lack and it would be so much better with them ??

Hey folks! :wave:

We're hiring at Adbrew!

We currently have openings for:

- :rocket: SDE Intern

- :computer: Software Development Engineer (SDE)

- :star2: Senior Software Developer

We're a Delhi-based startup with flexible work hours, a hybrid work setup, and competitive compensation.

For SDE Interns

We have 5 open positions, and I can personally refer candidates with 0–1 year of experience.

I'm especially looking for people who enjoy diving deep into problems, pay attention to edge cases, and genuinely like building things the right way.

- :moneybag: Stipend: ₹30,000/month

- :chart_with_upwards_trend: The goal is to convert high-performing interns to full-time within 3–6 months, depending on the impact and value they bring to the company.

- We offer strong full-time compensation for converted candidates.

For SDE & Senior SDE Roles

I can't directly refer for these positions, but I'm happy to forward your resume to our CTO. The hiring decision will ultimately be based on the interview process.

If you're interested (or know someone who might be), feel free to DM me your resume. Happy to help! :blush:

My email - hariom.bhardwaj@adbrew.io

We started blocking one day a week where nobody on our team uses AI agents for anything. Emails written by hand, code without Copilot or Cursor, posts drafted without Claude, research done by actually opening tabs.
It's uncomfortable, which was the idea.
The gaps it revealed were mostly about intent. When you write an email yourself, you have to figure out what you want to say before the words appear. When an agent drafts it, you tend to approve whatever's close and move on. Do that enough times and you've slowly handed off a lot of your actual thinking without noticing.
We started keeping notes on everything that felt slow or hard during the day. Then we'd use those to tighten things up: prompts, context, where we'd added a review checkpoint vs. where we'd skipped one. The manual day kept telling us where the agent was filling in gaps we hadn't noticed we'd left.
Six weeks in, We call it a calibration day now.

Has anyone else tried something like this, and whether you found the same feedback loop (manual work actually improving the agentic work), or just found it too annoying to stick with?

I'm building something exciting in AI and looking for someone interested in operations, productivity, and systems.

You'll work closely with me on research, planning, and calendar organization. In return, I'll mentor you in AI engineering, AI tools, agents, and modern workflows.

I's best suited for someone who values learning, wants hands-on experience, and is excited to grow alongside me.

If interested, send me a DM with a bit about yourself, what you're learning, and why you're interested.

Hi everyone,

I'm entering my final year (B.Tech Computer Engineering, Class of 2027) and would really appreciate some guidance from people who've recently cracked good off-campus offers.

A little about my profile

• CGPA: 9.7+
• Interested in both Software Development and AI/ML
• Comfortable with Python, SQL, FastAPI/Flask, TensorFlow/Keras and backend development
• Built multiple end-to-end AI projects including:
  • LangSQL (Natural Language → SQL system)
  • AI Resume Analyzer
  • Other ML/hackathon projects with complete pipelines
• Recently secured a Software Engineering internship at a small-to-mid-sized product-based company, where I'm getting hands-on experience with real-world product development.
• Participated in multiple hackathons and technical communities
• Currently grinding DSA and improving my problem-solving on LeetCode

My Goal

I'm aiming for 10–15+ LPA off-campus, preferably in AI/ML, but I'm equally happy with a strong SDE role if that's the more practical path.

What I'm confused about

1. Resume Positioning

Should I create:

• one resume focused entirely on SDE,
• one focused on AI/ML,
• or keep a hybrid resume showcasing both?

People often say recruiters spend only a few seconds on a resume, so I'm unsure whether being "good at both" actually hurts.

2. Where should I invest the next 3–4 months?

If you had my profile today, would you prioritize:

• DSA (LeetCode)
• Backend/System Design
• Open Source
• Something else entirely?

I'm trying to maximize ROI rather than learning everything.

3. How difficult is the off-campus market right now?

Most online discussions make it seem extremely competitive.

For someone targeting 10–15+ LPA:

• Is my current internship likely to make a meaningful difference during resume shortlisting, or is it still largely dependent on DSA and projects?
• Is it realistic without a referral?
• Roughly how many applications should I expect to send?
• What usually becomes the biggest bottleneck?

4. AI/ML vs SDE

I genuinely enjoy AI/ML, but I also don't want to limit my opportunities.

Would you recommend:

• focusing entirely on SDE first,
• applying to both simultaneously,
• or specializing in AI/ML from the start?

I'd love to hear from people who have actually gone through this decision.

5. Biggest mistakes

If you could go back to the beginning of your final year, what is one thing you would do differently?

I'd really appreciate honest advice—especially from people who secured 10+ LPA off-campus offers, mentor candidates, or regularly conduct technical interviews.

Thanks in advance!

Got some advice recently that NestJS "isn't industry standard" and "barely anyone uses it" anymore, especially compared to other backend frameworks. This didn't match what I'd researched myself, so wanted a reality check from people actually building with it.

For context — I'm evaluating a SaaS platform built on NestJS 11 + TypeScript + TypeORM + PostgreSQL, and trying to figure out if that was a reasonable tech choice or something I should be worried about going forward.

Is NestJS genuinely fading in adoption, or is this just someone's personal bias/lack of exposure to it? Curious what people actually building production backends are seeing in the field right now.
