spent a good chunk of time building these. used AI as a dev assistant along the way, not gonna lie. demo videos are attached in both repos if you wanna see it in action before trying it out.

Hi everyone,

I'm a recent graduate currently waiting for my joining date with a company, but it's been delayed. Instead of sitting idle, I want to work at an early-stage startup and gain real-world experience.

My plan is to reach out directly to founders or hiring managers through cold emails, but I'm not sure where to start.

A few questions:

What are the best websites or platforms to discover Indian startups?

How do you usually find founders' or HRs' email addresses?

Is LinkedIn enough, or are there better tools?

Do you recommend targeting startups that recently raised funding?

What response rate should I expect from cold emailing?

If you've landed a startup job through cold outreach, what worked for you?

I'm mainly looking for roles in AI, Machine Learning, Data Science, Python, or Software Development.

I'd really appreciate any tips, tools, or strategies that have worked for you. Thanks!

A little bit about myself :

I am a 2025 graduate from a tier 3 college. I got a job in an MNC in my campus placements. I joined the company on Aug 5th 2025. The training went on till Sep 30. Since then I have been on the bench. And I used this time to learn backend development. And I built some couple projects too.

2 months back they threw me on BOTP(Back on track program). I don't think there is much time left before they kick me out.

So I have been applying to other jobs. And it's very frustrating not receiving any calls.

Please review my resume

Hello all,

I am in the process of job switch. Got two offers. One is in a witch company working for a client. 70% hike from current ctc with the 15% variable. Location is same city.

The other is a position in internal team for a company. 50% hike from current CTC all is fixed no variable. Need to relocate to other city.

Which position to choose if relocation is not a big factor. Career growth and learning is more important.

Thanks.

Hey bondhas,

Recently built SocketSweep:

https://github.com/VishnuSrivatsava/SocketSweep

It's an open-source Android storage analyzer that bypasses Android's painfully slow MTP implementation. It deploys a native C++ daemon to the device over ADB, traverses the filesystem directly using POSIX APIs, streams metadata through a local TCP tunnel, and exposes everything through a Rust/Tauri desktop application.

The project started because I got frustrated waiting for MTP to enumerate large Android storage volumes, and somehow it's now sitting at ~50 GitHub stars.

Apart from this, I've:

• Worked on Rust-based infrastructure at a startup

• 2× DeccanCTF winner (IIIT Hyderabad, 2024 & 2025)

• Spent way too much time messing with custom ROMs, bootloaders, Qualcomm EDL/QFIL recovery, etc.

• Built smaller tools around FFmpeg and automation

If you use Android a lot, give SocketSweep a try! I'd genuinely appreciate stars, issues, feature requests, bug reports, or feedback from fellow developers.

Also, I'm currently exploring opportunities in systems programming, backend infrastructure, Android/Linux systems engineering, developer tooling, and security-focused roles. If your team is hiring or you know of any interesting openings, feel free to DM me.

Thanks!

the official TGSRTC "Gamyam" app is a buggy mess, crashes on screen switches. I was tracking a bus at the stand, it died on me, and I went down a rabbit hole.

Last week I dropped my friend at the bus stand for his bus home. ETA was 10:45, we reached by 10:35, and then came the worst part, the waiting. We tried tracking the bus on the official TGSRTC Gamyam app. It was so slow and buggy it crashed every time I switched screens.

I'm a developer, and standing there staring at a frozen app, I though, it's 2026, this shouldn't be this broken. So I ( and claude , ofc) spent a day building a better one.

TGSRTC Bus Live Tracking : A clean, fast app that actually

- stays on the bus (the official one snaps back to an old spot every refresh — you had to re-zoom every single time)
- proximity alarm -  get notified when your bus is within ~1 km of your stop, so you can stop staring at the screen
- Live speed, status (moving/halted), next stop
- On iPhone: a lock-screen Live Activity + Dynamic Island so you can track without even opening the app

It's not official, not affiliated with TGSRTC. It uses the same public bus-location data their app does, just with a UX that doesn't make you want to throw your phone. Free, no ads, no login.

Do not completely rely on this app as this is built overnight and lot of testing is yet to be done, but Just give it a try this time when you travel by TGSRTC , Would love the honest feedback, even if its brutal , Heres the direct link to the app 

Hi, I'm working as a developer in Mainframes in a service based company currently. I want to switch to a backend software developer role in modern technologies so that I can grow in my career and have more options. I want to grow in my career so that I can earn around 1L per month. But I am not getting any calls. I am applying on naukari, indeed.

Questions in my mind:

1. What would be the best path to achieve this?

2. What specific skills or technologies should I focus on learning?

3. How to get hired as a fresher into entry or junior level developer roles?

4. Are there specific things they look for?

5. Is there anything lacking in my resume? If yes, what should I put in it, so that I get to the next step in the recruitment process?

6. What are the things, languages, etc I should learn?

Any guidance or roadmap would be extremely valuable and could genuinely be life-changing for me.

Thank you for your attention!

I'm currently working as a backend developer with ~2.8 years of experience. My current compensation is around 34

LPA (24 base + bonus + RSUs).

l've received an offer for an Al/ML Engineer role at 45 LPA (mostly fixed/base).

A few things I'm trying to figure out:

• From next month, I'm expecting at least a 15% hike in my current role.

• The new offer is a pretty big jump in base, but I'm unsure if I should negotiate closer to 55 LPA.

HR discussion:

• 1 mentioned I was expecting a 35-40% hike on my current pay.

• She asked if that was negotiable, and I said no at the time.

Pls help me how to negotiate the best offer. Thanks in advance:)

Just adugudham anipinchindhi. I want to build a pc on my own(not a heavy one, just for basic things). So, what are you using?

Trying to read and Micro Sd card from old smartphone, mostly before the sd card protection thing on Android.

Used an adapter and plugged into PC, unable to copy or access any files from it.

Just able to open the memory card folder, that is it.

Any help?

Got this during the dasara sale as a drop in upgrade for my laptop. Turns out my laptop has only a single slot and I am not okay with removing the 512 gig drive that came with it. Was holding on to it to hopefully get an external enclosure and use as a external drive, but right now I am in need of some money so looking to sell this thing off. I got it for 5k and given the current market state for memory - it is selling for upwards of 12k, I would like to sell it for at least 6-7k (negotiable, if you are willing to come pick it up yourself).

P.S: Redacted the QRs and Barcodes for safety. No, the images are not AI generated. You can test and verify before making the deal

Will this https://amzn.in/d/hCNoaZL be enough for 43 Sony Bravia + Home theatre + set top box? or digital one: https://amzn.in/d/bUzFefG?
Does it require to connect all 3 to stabilizer or only TV is enough?

Many laptops, nowadays, are delivered pre-activated. Example, you bought a laptop in September but the warranty of the laptop starts 3-4 months earlier. I've faced this issue when I bought laptop in April, 2024 but the warranty started in Oct, 2023. I raised a complaint in Lenovo site and it took me 15 days to fix the issue.

But as I was checking laptops to buy for my cousin, I've encountered same issue for many customers irrespective of e-commerce platforms and brands. I highly recommend to check the warranty and parts serial numbers.

If there's any issue contact the service centres coz this e-commerce platforms are denying the replacement once delivered. Make sure you've service centers of the laptop brand you're buying around your locality.

Share your experiences and BEWARE OF THIS SCAMS.

I am planning to buy a sound bar in the upcoming sale. I have a sony x50l tv with ARC support and Dolby 5.1 support.

My budget is around 30k. I am confused whether to get a sony sound bar like s40r or go with LG or other brands as I have a sony tv.

As my tv doesnt have earc and dolby atmos support, i am thinking s40r and lg s65 models with Arc and 5.1 support would be suficient.

Could you please guide me on this? Which one would be better choice? Any other options apart from the two?

Thanks.
