collective punishment. everyone suffers. from corrupt bureaucrats to the common man. belt and rod is the solution but then who bells the cat….
Cost of doing business in a low-trust society like India. An estimate puts this cost at about Rs 15,000 Crore a year. Companies don't eat up all that cost. Society pays for it.

tbh this is very bad cultural trait. if you want to moonlight just be upfront and honest thats all. if doctors do it then it’s on them not you. you do you.
moonlighting is allowed for daktaar babu's but not for software company employees.

the real moat sits in the middle of a long, arduous grind. not in your ip, not in some secret idea. the code, the product, the insight they all come from the grind. that’s the moat. everything else can be copied except your grind and grit.

this is a meme now but all your prompts and code - all your startup alpha -.is basically two discord dms away. anyone curious enough can find out what you’re up to in a week. the alpha you think you have isn’t the moat anymore. grinding is and always will be the moat.

This is something you realize later in your engineering life. There’s no real high IQ in most systems. It’s all the same. Salesforce runs the same structure as Facebook. The only real difference is Salesforce runs on custom enterprise contracts that aren’t easy to upgrade monthly.

Also:.
you’re a seed startup and your interview process is like faang. why would someone that good choose you over retirement at faang. its stupid to expect them to bring everything while you just offer risky equity. the megalomania is the problem. invest in talent long term.

Unfortunately many such cases. There's an entire subreddit dedicated to this. Problem: Post a job, get 1,000 inbound. Only 5 make it through but they're all Interviewmaxxers who've mastered this process. Solution: Hire early. Bet on raw talent. Don’t build your process for.

Bro fumbled the bag by not sticking to one lane.
Funnily enough, Soham was our first engineering hire in 2022. Really smart and likable; enjoyed working with him. We realized pretty quickly that he was working at multiple companies and let him go. I can’t imagine the amount of equity he’s left on the table.

PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.

The term traffic refers to movement, not gridlocks or jams. In India, traffic has become shorthand for congestion (the term flowing traffic is used as if congestions are the norm). The traffic outside your home is often due to jams farther down the road, caused by poor planning.
Mere Ghar ke aage bhi traffic hai , what you on bro ?.

Chinese trawlers operate in the Bay of Bengal as far as Odisha and Vizag, indiscriminately harvesting marine life. They suck up everything with no concern for sustainability - almost as if their goal is to leave the ocean lifeless.
We asked @willobri (Founder @UlyssesEcoEng) about the challenges of Chinese illegal fishing. "Chinese are destroying many oceans around the world.". "Navies can't cover everything—the paradigm of maritime operations is stuck and broken.". "The Argentinian Air Force is now mostly
