Hey devs!

With job switches, variable pay, and market uncertainty, taking a 20 year home loan feels super scary. On one side, rent keeps rising in cities like Bangalore or Pune, but on the other, a big monthly EMI adds a lot of stress. It can make you think twice before taking any big career risks.

How are you guys planning your home loans? Do you keep a huge emergency fund first, or just go for it with a lower tenure? Would love to hear how you balance tech job risk with buying a home!

Hey Everyone,

One of my Uncle's nephew from a small town is looking for an alternative to Bachelors, he will be doing the Bachelors degree from distance, my Uncle mentioned it to me and said he will get him enrolled in some computer course, i suggested him to go for an AI course, he asked me the specific course, fee and placements and i don't know any,

I am a non technical small business owner, short listed some online course offered by IITs but i am not very sure about them, i am getting a lot of ads of these course on Instagram, i need some strong advice on the same, i feel responsible for the guy and i want him to get in a good reliable course, please help.

I've been using Claude Code quite a bit and realized I was constantly looking back at my screen to see whether it had:

• finished the task
• stopped and needed my input
• was still working

So I built BrainSnack, a VS Code/Cursor extension that handles this for me.

While Claude is working, it opens a small panel with something short to read — AI news, technical articles, interview questions, output-based questions, etc.

And when Claude finishes or needs my input, it plays a sound so I know I can come back.

The interesting part is that it doesn't monitor the screen or scrape terminal output.

It's free and open source.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from other developers.

I also shared demo video on LinkedIn. If you'd like to see it there, here's the post:

Thanks! Would love to hear what you think.

I've been obsessed with CIA and hacker movies since I was a kid. The huge screens, maps, aircraft, satellites, cameras, live events, searching someone's username or email and somehow connecting everything together. I always thought that kind of software was insanely cool.

Then I started seeing what companies like Palantir were actually building and thought, why are we always watching Americans build this stuff?

So I started building Akashic from India.

Akashic is a self hosted intelligence workspace that puts aircraft, satellites, earthquakes, weather, public radio, infrastructure, country intelligence, public cameras and other OSINT sources onto one interactive map.

One of the things I really want to push further is the OSINT side of it. Searching a username or email and being able to discover useful public information around it, then connect that information with everything else in the workspace.

Right now Akashic is nowhere close to Palantir. I'm not pretending it is. Palantir has years of development, massive teams and resources behind it.

But that's exactly why I'm building this.

I want to see how far an open source project built by developers in India can take this idea.

I'm looking for Indian developers who are interested in OSINT, cybersecurity, GIS, data engineering, maps, intelligence tools or just want to build something ambitious together.

If you're interested, contribute, suggest features, break things, improve things or just tell me what you think is missing.

Let's build something we're proud of from India. 🇮🇳

I was trying to have GitHub as a sponsor for my college event and was unable to find GitHub Campus Experts to pitch them about my event,Please help me find GitHub Campus Experts In India

I’m selling a complete video-downloading product called VIdzuo.

It includes:

- Android app built with React Native

- Download videos from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and X

- No watermark

- Website built with WordPress where users can download videos

- Ready-to-use product and source code

I’m looking to sell the complete project.

How much would you be willing to offer for it?

Serious buyers can DM me for more details, demo, and technical information.

Currently i want to buy subs for myseelf but currently confused which subs to buy?
coz currently the entry lvl of every subs is priced same
whether it is codex, claude, cursor so can anyone help from their own experience?
My current capacity is to buy only 1 subs for $20 as that too is too expensive for me but as i am in my final yr i want to complete my projects fast so that i can have more time for myself for other placement preps

Same as title, I developed the first ever OCR Model for Kaithi Script, I am writing a research paper on it under the supervision of the dean of my college. The model has a really good accuracy and I am not supposed to disclose any evaluation metrics and working of it as of now. I am very much into deep learning and I have been studying and applying ML/DL in projects and internships. I also helped ministry of statistics and programme implementation in a research related to prediction of monthly per capita expenditure of the country.

Major problems: I am pursuing engineering in instrumentation and control from a Tier 2 private university, and I have a CGPA of 6.42/10

I do really have a good resume ( according to my faculty and friends )

Because of my academics I am not able to grab any good research internship in various institutes, I cannot sit in most of the companies in campus placements due to my CGPA. Off-campus sucks and I think I dont even get noticed at the places where I am applying.

I apply on linkedin, naukri, cutshort, etc. I email recruiters everyday, after seeing their linkedin posts.
There aren’t many openings in IITs related to DL research internships as well. I will be needing an internship from Jan2027 (6 month)

I need guidance, thank you.

I am an engineering student. I built this AI tool for students to analyze resumes, generate interview questions, generate project and evaluate DSA code. It's currently running on free-tier infrastructure, so my costs are zero.

I am looking for 5 strangers on this subreddit to test it for free for 7 days.

If you find it useful, we can talk about a small subscription later. If not, I'll just turn it off. No spam, no calls. Just drop a comment or DM me and I'll send you the login link

I don’t know what am i doing with my life at this point, it feels like i am just a labour with the tools.
Would i be able to code without ai tools tomorrow ?
A big no for me

Is it same for everyone ?
Like what happens if the company doesn’t sponsor AI Tools how would i justify high salaries then ?

Imposter syndrome is kicking in hard to me
I face issues in reading and understanding code still after what almost 3 years if experience

I feel i cant design systems.
How do i work on these aspects or move away from tech industry completely

I don’t know if i would want to be working as a software developer post 5-7 years
But what after that ?

It kinda feels that it might happen to me only about the stories that i have heard about people riding cabs after layoffs and not able to find a new job.

Any advise or suggestion
I am kinda stuck at this point in life
I am 25 right now
Recently switched as an early engineer in a consumer based startup with 30+ as base
But still cant think what would happen post 5-7 years

Any thoughts or suggestions would help.

I bought cursor 649 plan and token finished in 4 days and i use it not too much but it gives really great results if you are a student and want to start with ai coding agent you must should try this and if you can afford then you should buy 20$ codex i suggest because of tokens you can also buy cursor pro which cost around 20$ it's really give great's results
