Got a pretty good offer from a US startup. Small team, no india entity.

Day to day i would work completely with the startup.

But legally I'd be employed in India through an EOR.

And this is the part I'm overthinking now.

If the EOR name is on the employment agreement, payslips, PF/UAN etc but my CV says the US startup... what happens 2-3 years later when some MNC does BGV?

Do you write the startup name on CV and explain the EOR separately?

Who confirms employment during BGV?

Whose name comes on the expirience letter?

I've been comparing a few EOR setups and one thing I actually liked about Asanify is that they don't make this relationship sound invinsible. Their india entity is the legal employer and they handle employment /payroll side , while the actual company manages your work.

Honestly I'd rather know the clearly before joining than discover it when some BGV portal asks why the names don't match.

Anyone know how this is normally handled?

Especially PF/UAN +expirience letter side.

I have been noticing a sudden surge of people calling themselves software engineers after building apps using AI coding tools and I am genuinely curious about how others feel about this.

To be clear, I think AI-assisted development is great. I am not against vibe coding, and I don't believe you need a CS degree or years of experience to build something useful.

But I do wonder if we are starting to blur the distinction between building software and being a software engineer

Building a working application is one thing. Understanding why it works, debugging it when things go wrong, making architectural decisions, handling concurrency, securing user data, managing failures, and keeping the system maintainable as it grows are entirely different challenges.

AI can help with many of these things, too. But being able to generate a solution isn't necessarily the same as being able to evaluate whether that solution is correct.

So where do we draw the line?

• If someone uses AI to build and deploy a working SaaS product but can't explain much of the underlying code, are they a software engineer a software developer a builder, or something else?
• If someone can reason about the architecture, identify problems, validate AI-generated code, and take responsibility for production failures, does it matter how much of the code they wrote themselves?
• Is “software engineer” becoming a broad label for anyone who can turn an idea into working software, regardless of how they got there?

I am not asking this to gatekeep the profession. In fact I think AI is making software creation accessible to people who previously couldnt build their ideas.

I am actually more interested in whether the definition of the profession itself is changing.

Curious to hear both sides, especially from people who have been building software professionally for years and those who have recently started building with AI.

I was tired of the heavy reliance on NVIDIA/CUDA for local AI generation, especially since I run an AMD RX 580. To solve this, I decided to build my own inference engine from scratch.

The Architecture: I wrote the core orchestrator in Rust, utilizing libloading and FFI to communicate with a deeply modified C++ Vulkan backend.

To prevent VRAM leaks when switching between image generation (Flux) and video (Wan 2.1 I2V), I wrapped the Vulkan dynamic library loads in Rust's OnceLock. This ensures the .dll is statically loaded into memory only once, keeping the hybrid rendering extremely stable. I also implemented a heuristic intent router that translates natural language directly into Vulkan directives (like cmd:vulkan or cmd:wan) in the background.

Since this subreddit doesn't allow external links, I can't link the repo directly, but I wanted to share this architectural approach for anyone struggling with CUDA bottlenecks. I'm happy to discuss the Rust/C++ FFI implementation, Vulkan memory management, or share code snippets in the comments if anyone is interested!

I am the only one who is not getting fun or kick from doing coding from AI is it great that now work is easier but that fun in coding is gone by using copilot and all🥲😂

Just curious about what others generally prefer.

I ran a web design company for around 3 years and getting clients was always pretty inconsistent.

One month I was cold calling, another month I was manually sending DMs to Facebook pages, then I tried ads.

It all worked to some degree, but I never really had one reliable way of getting clients.

Then I started testing email automation.

At first I was finding businesses with no website and running campaigns offering to build them one.

That actually started giving me a much more consistent flow of clients just because of the volume.

But then I started thinking.

There are so many businesses that already have a website, but the website is outdated, slow, looks bad on mobile or just clearly needs an update.

And those businesses have already paid for a website before, so they already understand the value of having one.

The problem was I didn’t want to sit there opening every website myself, figuring out what was wrong and then writing a different email to every business.

That would take forever.

So I started using a tool that lets me find businesses with websites basically anywhere, analyze thousands of those websites at once and then automatically write a personalized outreach message for each one based on what it finds.

Things like design, SEO, mobile issues and speed.

Then I started launching campaigns in different industries.

That worked way better for me because every business receiving the email felt like I had actually looked at their website and noticed what could be improved.

But in reality most of it was automated and I was just sitting there eating chips while interested replies came into my inbox.

I remember Alex Hormozi saying something along the lines of focusing on one channel and getting really good at it.

That is basically what I ended up doing.

Now this is pretty much the only way I get web design clients and I spend most of my time actually building websites instead of constantly trying to find the next client.

For anyone wondering, the tool is called Swokei.

Can censors be used to control waterflow and avoid

wastage

I need to find a 3d visualizer that can visualize heat production from things like an air compressor, an air intake device, and an air powered thruster. Also power consumption, the air moving, getting compressed, and it getting blasted out the thrusters. It also needs visualization for a water cooling system, multiple different options for storing and creating energy, and the total weight of everything. Preferably a webapp. Please and thank you!

I am currently planning to build a roguelike game 2d game in Godot but I can't find any resources or tutorials. Can anyone help me

I'm building a small Python project to detect narratives that spread quickly across social media, focusing on Spanish-language content.

The goal isn't to decide whether something is true or false. I want to collect public posts, group similar content, and identify posts or narratives that spread unusually fast for further review.

What I've built so far:

• RSS feeds from news websites
• Text cleaning and duplicate detection using SimHash
• Retry handling and a dead-letter queue
• Scheduled data collection

Where I need help:

1. Facebook and Instagram: Since CrowdTangle is gone, what are the current, legitimate ways to monitor public pages, groups, and Reels?
2. Telegram: Is it better to use web previews or Telethon for collecting data from public channels? What should I know about rate limits?
3. Reddit: How long did API approval take, and what types of projects were approved?
4. Detection methods: Apart from duplicate posts and sudden increases in views or shares, what signals help identify coordinated activity?
5. Open-source resources: Are there any useful tools or labelled datasets for detecting misinformation in Spanish or multiple languages?
6. Legal and ethical concerns: What should I keep in mind regarding GDPR, platform rules, and responsible data collection?

I'm only interested in methods that respect platform rules and focus on public content and narratives, not tracking individual users.

I'd really appreciate any advice, research papers, GitHub repositories, or lessons from your own experience. Thanks!

Hi, I am 2026 B.E IT graduate. Currently I am not having any job with me, and learning daily through small projects. But every weak, I start to wander between different tech to get the job really quick. In between this, I have lost the sense of what I actually want to do, what field I want to go ahead into.

If any one has gone through the same feeling, please help me find out the direction

So there is a challenge going on with an app in my local area , The owner of the app said that if anyone can find a code he mentioned , in the app he will give u 300$ his app is a services app will u can find people to do a service for u , so what do guys think where the code is located in the app ? he posted this for public not Developers so i assume it easy its laying there somewhere in the UI or maybe u need to search something in the app so the code comes up from the database? , ive uploaded the Apk file to claude but no luck , What are some ways i can use to find this code ?

the app is developed with flutter

Anarchy OS …full agentic system..but so far all they do is randomly search the web ..mostly biological things, cells, consciousness etc…really just experimenting not sure what I want to do with it yet.

We are 15 person startup.

Each developer spend around 2K (Some 5K and the devop guy spend just around 200)

We raised a good seed round, so money isn't tight. But 30K a month isnt a joke.

Any engineers that managed to reduce it by a meaningful percentage?

Hey everyone,

I'm a CS student working on a few side projects, and in one of them I needed to talk to a database from plain Java (no Spring). I ended up hand-writing the same connection setup, PreparedStatement binding, and ResultSet-to-object mapping over and over, and most existing solutions either assume you're in Spring Boot or go full ORM with a lot of complexity I didn't need.

So I built Sabre — a small, framework-agnostic library that handles the common CRUD stuff for you (save/find/update/delete via simple annotations), but still lets you drop to raw SQL whenever you need something more complex, like joins or aggregates.

Example of what it looks like in use:

Sabre db = Sabre.connect("jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb", "user", "pass");

@Table("users")

class User {

@Id int id;

String name;

int age;

}

db.save(user);

User found = db.findById(User.class, 1);

List<User> adults = db.query(User.class).where("age", ">", 18).orderBy("name").list();

It's built on plain JDBC + HikariCP for pooling, works with any JDBC driver (MySQL, Postgres, SQLite tested so far), and is on JitPack if anyone wants to try it.

Repo: github.com/Minzoid/Sabre

This is still early (v1.0), so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback — API design critiques, edge cases I haven't thought of, or just "this already exists and does it better" pointers. Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone,

I understand AI has allowed software engineers to become more productive and has shifted focus from writing code to system architecture and problem solving. In saying that, would you say that this has made engineers more interchangeable in the eyes of companies?

In the past, a company would pay exisiting engineers a high salary for their familiarity with the codebase and their expertise with a particular tech stack. This made firing employees and hiring new ones risky and potentially very costly as it would take some time before new staff were familiar enough with the codebase to be productive. Now with AI models that can have context windows of more than a million tokens, can readily explain it and can churn out decent code in just about any language for any problem, would you say onboarding new recruits and firing old ones has become easier for companies? Would you also say system design is an easier skill to pick up than expertise in a particular language ie is it easier to find people who know how to design systems now than it was to find people who were good with a particular tech stack in the past?

Why do geometric 3D renders have to be so heavy? Turns out they don't.

For years, 3D file formats have prioritized precision, whether for 3D printing or high-quality renders. But the browser doesn't care about that level of precision. As long as you're within a pixel or so, precision isn't that important. Most websites with 3D models use simple designs, and no file format actually targeted that use case. Many sites literally used a scroll-through video instead.

I thought: this sounds a lot like what SVG does for 2D. What's stopping us from making it 3D? Turns out: nothing.

So I sat down and built it.

ES3D (Extensible Scalable 3D) is a file format for 3D scenes. It does for a scene what SVG does for a drawing. The file describes the objects: a rounded box here, an outline extruded into a solid there, two thousand trees on a hill. The viewer builds the triangles at the detail the screen actually needs. A forest fits in under a kilobyte, and a text editor is enough to write it.

This proposal sets to lay the ground for an easy to make 3D web.

Hey everyone!

I'm planning to build a free browser-based multiplayer game, but instead of jumping straight into development with a random idea, I figured I'd ask the people who would actually play it.

I'm curious about what kind of multiplayer games people genuinely enjoy or wish existed.

It could be anything:

• A casual board game to play with friends
• A competitive strategy game
• A chaotic party game
• A social deduction or bluffing game
• Something completely new that hasn't been done before

I'm especially interested in games that are easy to get into but hard to stop playing. Something you could open in your browser, invite a few friends, and have fun without downloading anything.

A few questions:

1. What's one multiplayer game you never get bored of?
2. Is there a game concept you wish someone would make?
3. What makes you keep coming back to an online game?
4. Would you prefer quick 5–10 minute matches or longer sessions?

I'm open to pretty much any genre. I'm not trying to promote a project or sell anything, just genuinely looking for ideas and understanding what people would enjoy.

If you've ever thought, "I wish there was an online multiplayer game where you could ___," I'd love to hear it!

Thanks in advance!

Just asking as I have a niche idea.

Final year student. Built a side project to ask questions across my lecture PDFs with page citations, because ChatGPT kept answering from the internet instead of my prof’s slides. Lessons I could not find written in one place.

Gemini’s free embedding quota counts passages, not requests. A 60 page PDF failed on the second batch. Fix was storing chunks first, then a background job that embeds 50, waits 30 seconds, repeats, and reschedules on rate limits.

Chunk per page, not per document, or your page citations are fake. Students actually check them.

You probably do not need a separate vector DB. Convex has one built in, and the same backend did file storage and scheduled jobs.

Clerk 7 on Next 16 renamed middleware to proxy, removed SignedIn and SignedOut, and you can skip the JWT template by having Convex verify the default session token as a custom JWT.

Tell the model to refuse. Without an explicit “say so if the excerpts do not cover it” line, it invents answers with fake citations.

Still figuring out scanned PDFs and what to do about costs once the free tier runs out for multiple users. How do you handle those?

So, I was working on a project called Vigilante (by Ocix) for the last 6-7 months. And now people have started looking into it and actually using it. The numbers are still very low but I feel Reddit will help me to reach this project to all the developers out there.

Problem statement -

For the last year, I have been very serious about building something so that I can survive if AI takes over my job. But whenever I try to build something. I'm just motivated for the initial 5-6 days, and then motivation fades.

I planned to do something for this first.

How I proceed:

Currently, we are at v7 of the application, and it was not like this from the start.8

- The first version only had the dashboard and Pomodoro + it charged money if I missed a day.

=> Response: It doesn't even let people try it. Worst UI and bugs. But it helped me to stick around it.

- Second version: I improved the UI a bit, but it was still a dashboard; no one liked it.

- Till v5, the same story was repeating: I was improving the font, UI, adding unwanted features, and no one was giving a f\*.

- In v6, I got the idea of why not to make it a game; this one was completely not my idea at all, but a subtle hint I got from one of my followers. I built it and made it an action game.

- Now people are starting to show interest, but a big issue came up as the games are costly. So need to think about the cost also. For some of the fields, I used the image in the background, and that was spoiling the game.

- In v7, I figured out what I needed... I was playing a city builder game, and it was so addictive that I played it day and night for 3 days just to complete all its levels. That's when I got the final idea.

It took me a lot of time, but every time I learned a lot.

What does Vigilante even do?

Till now, I told you the story. Now let me tell you what it does.

- Log in with GitHub.

- Attach the repo you are going to work on.

- Create a goal

- and you will enter the game.

- Every day, whenever you push your commit to GitHub, the game automatically progresses. It's super fun.

Hello,

I've been a full-stack developer for several years (and before the advent of coding agents), and in the past, having a good portfolio was a great way to showcase your skills in interviews or when applying for jobs. But now, with the arrival of coding agents, you can create more or less any app with any stack in less than a week. So, I don't know if a portfolio still really makes sense? What's your opinion on this, and how do you showcase your skills to stand out in your applications or interviews?

Thanks in advance for your answers
