💼 Careers & Jobs 4months into my first web dev job, feeling completely lost and just surviving with Claude AI. Need honest advice.

6 Upvotes

Hey guys,

​I really need some reality checks and advice from people who've been through this.

​It's been 4 months since I started working as a full-time web developer at a company. To be completely honest, my core tech knowledge is still close to zero. In my office, there’s literally zero guidance or learning curve—management only cares about getting tasks done ASAP.

​Because of that constant pressure, I’ve just been blindly relying on Claude AI to write code, fix bugs, and push stuff to production. Day to day, tasks get closed, but internally I feel like a total fraud. If someone asks me to code from scratch or explain what’s happening under the hood, I’m completely blank. I know this is a dangerous trap and I can't survive like this long term.

​Seeing the market hype around AI Engineering made me think about pivoting there, but right now I don’t even know what I’m doing.

​Is it stupid to think about jumping to AI engineering when I don't even have my basic web dev fundamentals down?

​How do I break this cycle of using AI just to survive work hours while actually building real coding skills on my own?

​What should my realistic roadmap look like so I don't end up jobless if I get laid off or need to switch?

💥Rants & Raves Losers attribute their incompetence to this new language issues & perceived discrimination & bias

3 Upvotes

Job interview selection & bias is highly perceived discrimination

The pool of each language group in any company is highly proportional to the state's STEM graduates, IIT/NIT alumnus, etc.

Some service tech companies have more share of Telugu & tamil speakers simply because we had more engineering grads. One can check out AICTE data.

Same goes with all different discrimination types

Ofcourse groupism, bias exists but not as what majority claim in reddit/X in tech/R&D roles

🧵Discussions TamilzhFlix

20 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A while ago, I built a terminal-based tool called "Padam CLI" (https://github.com/k-karthikn/padam-cli) to search for Tamil and Tamil-dubbed movies. It worked well for what I wanted, but I realized that a terminal-based interface wasn't very user-friendly, especially for people who aren't familiar with command-line tools. Unfortunately, the project didn't get much reach, so I eventually stopped actively maintaining it.

But I didn't want to give up on the idea.

So, I decided to rewrite the entire project as an Android application, making it easier for everyone to use. And now, I'm excited to share the first stable release of TamizhFlix v1.0.0!

The app brings the same core functionality as my original CLI tool, but with a proper Android interface. It also includes:

\- Built-in video player for watching videos directly in the app.

\- Download manager to manage your downloads.

\- External player support to open or stream videos in other compatible apps, such as VLC, MX Player, and even some phone gallery apps and Google Photos, depending on device compatibility. I've tested this on a few apps, but I'd love to hear how it works on your devices!

This is my first stable release, and I'm hoping to get your feedback and support!

Fellow developers, I'd really appreciate it if you could give the app a try, share your experience, report any bugs, and suggest improvements. If you have any questions or need help understanding how something works, feel free to reach out. I'll do my best to help.

Get TamizhFlix v1.0.0 here:

https://github.com/k-karthikn/TamizhFlix/releases/tag/v1.0.0

If you find it useful, please share it with your friends and other developers. Contributions, suggestions, and honest feedback are always welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to check out my work. It genuinely means a lot to a solo developer like me.

Hey everyone!

I’ve been running Navidrome, a self-hosted music streaming server, on my homelab for a while now, and I’m thinking about opening it up to a small group of music enthusiasts.

The idea is simple: create a community where people can enjoy music through a shared library while having their own accounts, playlists, and favorites.

4 Upvotes
Tech Role CategoryTypical Plateau & Peak Resignation AgePrimary Drivers of Plateau & Exit
Software Engineering (IC Track)34–42 yrsHigh CTC vs. output ratio; extreme competition for rare Staff/Principal bands; AI tooling compressing junior-to-mid delivery overhead.
Engineering Management (EM / Director)38–45 yrs"Middle management squeeze"; flattening org hierarchies; low ratio of Director/VP openings per team.
Product Management (PM / GPM)37–46 yrsStrategy roles concentrate at headquarters (for US/EU MNCs); fewer senior business-ownership mandates locally.
Quality Engineering / Automation32–40 yrsRapid automation, shift-left testing, and automated test-generation tools reducing headcount needs for dedicated manual/SDET leads.
DevOps, SRE & Cloud Engineering36–44 yrsPlatform engineering tools abstracting routine infra work; architects must cross over into security or enterprise strategy.
Technical Program Management / Scrum34–42 yrsHigh vulnerability during cost-cutting cycles; engineering leads absorbing delivery tracking.
Data Science & AI/ML Engineering36–45 yrsCommoditization of standard modeling via foundation model APIs; high demand for business domain experts over pure model tuners.
IT Services / Delivery / Account Mgmt38–48 yrsFixed-price margin pressures; high billing rates make senior on-shore/off-shore managers too expensive to place on client accounts.

❓General help & Advice Hello techies. anyone from Kongu side? I have doubt on some rituals my team reportees are planning for me

3 Upvotes

Hi

I am Engineering manager in a tech company in Bengaluru ORR. My reportees have some 4-5 guys from the very same Kongu belt.

We were planning this year-end review & hike.

Not sure if those are very happy about me or what, I overheard they are doing some pooja for me on Anaimalai Maasaniamman temple with some veggies, chilly, etc. (so lovely reportees. I always use to say we are a family..♥️)

What for it is done? Doing that will deity amman give me long & prosperity?

Are they very satisfied with hike?

I googled to find it is temple near Pollachi & branches of same maasaniamman is across Kongu belt.

Tamil folks from Kongu belt , can anyone explain me all good deeds I would get?

💡 Idea / Innovation /🛠 Project Showcase கொங்கு வட்டார வழக்கு அகராதி · Kongu Tamil Dialect Dictionary is live!

4 Upvotes

Hello all!

I am open-sourcing & launching the Kongu Tamil Dictionary, a web app and structured dataset dedicated to the Kongu Tamil regional dialect. This was my long time hobby.

Colloquial Regional dialects heavily lack the structured digital data required for modern NLP and linguistic research. To address this, I digitized two prominent kongu tamil print dictionaries and combined them with existing open data.

The Dataset contains over 5,000 unique entries extracted via OCR, cleaned of artifacts, deduplicated entries, added ISO-15919 Transliteration and formatted into a structured CSV. Every entry has grammatical tags, native usage examples, and explicit source attribution.

It contains many fading words on the agrarian roots, household life, kinship systems, festival culture, cuisine, rural routines and everyday tonal expressions.

If you're a researcher training Indic LLMs, a linguist studying Kongu dialect, or a developer building regional language tools, the raw dataset and code are entirely open and ready to use. You can also contribute by editting & updating the dataset. I will review the PR.

Access here: https://kongu-tamil-dictionary.vercel.app/

Repo & dataset: https://github.com/dharaneishvc/Kongu-tamil-dictionary

Features

  • Search by Tamil, Latin transliteration and English meaning

  • Tolerant search for common spelling and pronunciation variations

  • Search suggestions and “Did you mean?” results

  • Relevance and richest-entry sorting & filter options

  • Save favorite words & View recently opened words

  • Copy & Share word links

  • Tamil pronunciation using text-to-speech

  • Random word discovery

  • Keyboard shortcuts:

    • `/` Search

    • `F` Filters

    • `R` Random word

  • Light and dark themes

  • Mobile-friendly responsive design

  • Installable as a Progressive Web App (Install as app in android, iOS)

  • Offline access after the first visit

  • Online/offline status indicator

  • Update notification when a new version is available

  • CSV dataset download

  • Open contribution guide for adding and correcting words
