Two days back, my uncle was murdered brutally in broad daylight in Pune.
Reason for the murder was that he asked a gang of men to not do drugs near his house.
While nothing is going to bring back my uncle and stop the suffering of my family, all we can do is wait for justice.
I recently stayed in Paris for over a month. The day I came back, that very day, I had a major panic attack.
On the BLR airport.
Reason: I had forgotten that men in India like eye-raping women even when they are covering every single inch of their bodies.
I had 4 different men
She is able to walk freely in a country which is not her home.
This person and the replies will explain why.
I am glad she could leave.
Honestly I really wish all our women could just go off somewhere safer.
These are the same Bangaloreans who will use Zepto and Blinkit to order the tiniest things but wait in the queue for have their favourite dosa on a Sunday🤌

Mom spent 25 years of her life saving up and working hard so that I could get the best education and become independent.
In all of this she never had the chance to sit in a flight and see the sky up close.
It’s her time to live her dreams now❤️
I hope
@PuneCityPolice
helps us find justice.

It’s not worth it.
He used to always tell me how proud he was of me.
He used to jokingly tell my dad that I was his daughter and not my dad’s.
He helped a lot of people who were suffering from issues. Financial, family or medical.
Dear Kaka, I am sorry.
The world did not deserve you❤️
During my engineering days, I would get 20 rupees ($0.24) everyday. For taking the bus.
And on some days mom used to give me an extra 20 rupees that she saved from her daily expenses so that I could have my favourite vada pav❤️
Today marks 3 years of officially being in the Tech industry for me.
Lots of mistakes made, lessons learnt, great friends and connections found but most importantly lots of risks taken✨
Sometimes the risk paid off and sometimes it backfired badly.
But I realised as long as
🟣 GIT VS GITHUB VS GITLAB 🟣
Don't be a dummy!
Be sure of exactly what your version control can do for you!
No more using the wrong terms in conversations.
Let's understand the WHY, WHEN, and WHERE of
Git, Github, and Gitlab
April wasn't the best for me mentally.
- Moved out
- Got cheated on
- Couldn't find a place to stay
- Visa got rejected
I decided to focus on the good
- Got a new job
- Collaborated with Multiple brands
- Finally found a home
Take a break, But Never give up.
So I just moved to Bangalore.
Met an old friend and he asked me out on a date.
2 hours later I get an invite for an in-person SaaS Meetup.

Yesterday I had PROMISED my mom I would do the laundry.
I never did it.
She: But Pratim you Promised!!
Me: Mom, a promise can be in one of the 3 states:
Pending
Fulfilled
Rejected
And this one has been rejected.
The rest is history🤕.
JavaScript did this to me.

Aarav I normally don't reply back to people who don't understand context and like getting stuck in words and literals. But someday when you have a daughter, you will understand what I mean by this tweet. You'll come back to this tweet that day. I do hope that day never comes up.
During my engineering days, I hated DATA STRUCTURES.
Found it to be too overwhelming to understand because I could not relate with it’s applications.
Cut short 3 years later, I’m writing about B-Trees, LSM trees, and other data structures used to build databases.
The only way
It's a sad day for the Indian startup community.
Founders are more interested in writing viral threads and hooks to get followers than having basic human sensitivity towards their employees.
It's an absolute shame to reduce people who work for your product into clickbait.
When I was 18, I used to take the govt. bus to go to college every day. Many times, there used to be weird men who used to touch me inappropriately but it used to get hidden under all the chaos. I remember there were times when I used to come back home and shower multiple times
When I was 21 my then girlfriend and I were both just utterly broke. Two kids from India on large aid
packages. So Christmas Eve we went to the mall and gave each other an imaginary budget of 2000 dollars and split up for a hour. Seemed like the world at the time. And then we met

Perks of dating a senior software developer:
- Won’t sleep until YOUR error is solved
- Scrolls Reddit, HN, GitHub and not Instagram reels 📴
- Can focus 🤌🤌
- Extremely low maintenance
- Will read Technical papers with you🫶
- Self made 💳
- Good with numbers 📈
From "We'll find you a rich guy" to
"It's going to be hard finding a guy who earns as much as you do"
I GREW UP.
Be the Man the society has always wanted you to MARRY.
The Bhaiyya Didi culture in the Indian Education System is unhealthy, unsustainable and harmful to the students.
If you're a student, please know that there is no one size fits all formula for getting your dream job, building projects or learning something new.
Last year I decided to focus more on Golang.
This year I’ll be talking at multiple international conferences.
We start with
@dev_bcn
in July and
@gopherconuk
in August!
See you in Spain and the UK!
Being a developer advocate has made me more curious about engineering than I was when I was a full-time software developer.
I like the freedom and flexibility my role provides when it comes to implementing, learning, experimenting and being creative.
I love the privilege of
Unit Test VS Integration Test.
⚔️🛡️⚔️🛡️⚔️
You're a true Developer only when you write your own test cases. If you don't know the difference between a Unit test and an Integration test this is for you. Be it Javascript, Python, Java or Flutter, all need a robust test framework
The concepts introduced during a CS degree are absolute gold.
Even after spending years in the industry, you will find yourself going back to some concepts that were explained beautifully in your syllabus books.
Don't randomly listen to folks who trash the syllabus.
31st December nights have always been stay at home nights for me.
I find most of events happening on the New Year’s Eve to be highly overrated, expensive and crowded with adulterated food, painful music and drunken idiots.
Google Office in Paris is exquisite ✨🥐
Yesterday I had lunch with
@teivah
and I asked him how in his 12+ years of workX with leading Tech companies, freelancing and being an established author he learnt new concepts.
And this is what he had to say
Nothing Comes Home...
You Have To Get OUT & Get IT!

This tweet is a reminder for everyone to believe in themselves and work on their skills.
Don't wait for miracles to happen,
Make them!!
I go out of my comfort zone regularly.
But this year has been intense.
-Changed jobs
-Spoke at international conferences on a tech stack that I recently picked up
-Travelled around the world
-Learnt( still learning) a lot of databases
-Built demo applications
I managed to
Not me waking up at 3am to discuss a new startup idea idea with my one and only ChatGPT.
ChatGPT is now my intern, advisor, reviewer, vacation planner.
Basically my life partner.
One piece of advice that all experienced and successful folks I have spoken to have given me is to NEVER take the feedback received at work personally.
If you're starting out in your career, there will be multiple instances where you will feel people are pointing fingers at
I'm looking for some cool volunteers to help me with hosting development workshops across the country.
Your time and effort will be compensated for sure!
Dm me if you're interested in being on the organising team for your city!
I have a friend who is extremely successful at an early age of 25.
The guy is basically a genius.
But he has no respect for his body.
Does not care about his health.
Has all sorts of bad routines.
How can I convince him to start caring for his health?
Are you confused between different open-source licences like MIT, Apache, GNU and their scope?
This thread is for you.
Let's understand what is the difference between the leading open-source licences and what they stand for.
And that's where we use DATA STRUCTURES!!
We've all asked ourselves atleast once about where will I exactly use all these Data Structure algorithms and logics.
Here it is!
Today is my last day at

The past year with Nhost has been an amazing journey full of learnings, and milestones.
It was an honour to be part of such an amazing team and culture💙.
It’s time for a new adventure🧗♂️
