Hi everyone, I’m an engineer with 8 months of experience at Infosys, currently working as a System Engineer. Alongside my job, I’ve been doing freelance work for a foreign-based company, where I’ve been performing well. I joined Infosys mainly to build credible experience on paper so I could eventually move to top-tier companies. My initial plan was to manage both my job and freelancing while continuously improving my skills. However, I’m starting to realize that trying to juggle both is limiting my progress, and I’m not hitting the level I’m aiming for. At this point, I need to make a clear decision and would appreciate guidance. I strongly believe I have the potential to become a solid developer. Most of my work so far has been focused on backend integrations.

MAGA vs. Musk: Shadow Banning Allegations Ignite Feud

- Accusations have emerged within the MAGA community against Elon Musk, alleging shadow banning of conservative critics on X, formerly Twitter. - Prominent conservative Laura Loomer claims her blue verification badge was revoked after criticizing Musk's pro-immigration stance, sparking claims of retaliatory censorship. - Musk defends X's algorithm, stating it reduces reach for accounts frequently blocked/muted by credible users, intensifying the debate over free speech and content moderation.

Indian SDEs will do all DSA and System Design chatter but cannot create any real value

Indian SDEs on LinkedIn & Twitter are some of the worst engineers you will ever find across the real world. Their typical value lies around: - Cracking a FAANG/MAANG or Product company. - Make an announcement on LinkedIn & Twitter and accumulating followers. - Starting YouTube channel, Topmate links, affiliate marketing channels, and more. - Rant DSA, System Design, Interview resources all day long. - Post daily of their office, their colleagues, candid shots, and barely getting any work done. While this is expected out of early career professionals, it pains to see senior SDEs doing the same shit over and over again. Things don't end here — Everyone talks about creating a revolution. And the revolution is teaching DSA. If you are an experienced SDE and still ranting DSA, it just means that you have barely learnt anything that is of worth any value. You are atmost a "Ticket Engineer". You get assigned a Jira ticket, you bust your ass solving it, and that's it. That's your entire value. Its high time that these "Bhaiya", "Didis", "Bhabhis" stop ranting DSA and System Design over and over, and build something of real value. You would barely see any credible open-source projects coming out of India (but hey, we have some many contributors!), barely any Indie dev project, or anything that captures the attention of the world. Literally every popular SDE you might follow or see over your social media is the same. Their entire community game is a farce and designed to capture gullible college students and shill thousands of rupees out of them. You might be featured on Times Square ($40 ka showoff), but no one would remember you for anything that you built. <Rant Over. Peace>
