Every company is taking interview in their own terms these days.
No one is able to figure out the exact way in this AI bullish era.
And the worst part is as a software guy - you have to be ready for any sort of it.
I used to not target MNCs cuz DSA wasn't my forte, i targeted startups cuz they focus on dev, system design, and good project builds.
At this date, even if i select i want to get into these 10 domains working in same niche as me, still all 10 might have different interview rounds and prep for each of them will be different.
Every company will have 2 basic things to focus on mostly, it could be AI, ops, system design, distributed systems, distributed databases, api design, ML, RL, research or backend as a service, it could be anything.
Some companies make you code live, some companies ask for bug testing, some give you AI and ask to build xyz, some just take theoretical rounds, some dsa rounds, some system design rounds, some will make you work on an assignment then take interview from it.
The hiring market is so f'ed up and scattered that you will just keep revolving in an endless loop of applying, giving rounds and rounds of interviews, everyone different form each other.
Having a job in this economy is a blessing. Keep it locked, the next year is gonna be an insane rollercoaster ride for software development.

hot take: you don't need a software factory, and i don't love the term. it's just marketing
all you need is good software engineering and investing your tokens in the right places. the more deterministic the better (and token efficient)

Its sad how much have been generalised as Grind/ Love of the game work related especially in tech.
Most startups are Lala companies, work life balance is very important, work is not your life, no deadline is life and death, theres no pressure, you are making no contribution to

there is no rock at rock bottom. there’s a trampoline. and from there, all you do is fucking rise

One of my biggest learnings in 2026:
STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHETHER YOU'RE MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION.
A lot of people reach out to me asking what field they should get into, what they should learn, what path they should take, and stuff like that.
And I think people overcomplicate this way too much.
When I first started learning about systems and databases, I used to doubt myself a lot.
People around me were becoming amazing design engineers, some were getting really good at TypeScript, and others were building crazy stuff with Rust.
And I'd wonder, am I even going in the right direction?
But eventually, I realized something.
People act as if the universe will punish them for making the wrong decision. As if there's some reward for choosing the "right" path and some punishment for choosing the "wrong" one.
That's not how it works.
Let's say you pick path X. You start learning, building, creating things, and genuinely enjoying the process.
But then you see someone doing incredibly well on path Y, and suddenly you start questioning everything.
People don't even let their own decisions breathe because they're so obsessed with wondering whether some other decision would've been better.
And that's the problem.
I genuinely believe that when you put a ton of effort into something and are really, really curious about it, opportunities you could never have imagined will start opening up for you.
You could've taken a hundred different paths in life. Each one could've opened up a completely different set of possibilities. Different experiences, different people, different opportunities.
There is no single magical path.
So stop asking everyone what you should do with your life.
Instead, ask yourself what genuinely interests you. What makes you so curious that you could spend hours figuring it out without even realizing how much time has passed?
And once you figure that out, just go for it, man.
Go deep into it. Build things. Ask stupid questions. Experiment. Get things wrong. Figure things out along the way.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you start.
And most importantly, stop looking at what everyone else is doing and wondering whether you should've chosen their path instead.
You have no idea what opportunities your own path might open up if you just give it enough time, effort, and curiosity.
You don't always have to find the right path. Sometimes you just have to pick one and make something incredible out of it.
That's it, that's literally it.

you want to work in applied AI, but you keep telling yourself you’re not technical enough. you only “vibe code.” you need another few months.
says who? have you talked to a team doing the work you want to do?
i used to be that guy. thousands of github commits, nights up until 1am, another project to prove i was ready.
some of that skill development mattered. but i was also rejecting myself before finding out what the role actually required.
talk to someone doing it. ask what their day-to-day work involves, how much technical depth they need, and what their interviews test.
the bar might be higher than you think. it might be in a completely different place.
find out what you actually need to get better at before spending another month trying to become “technical enough.”
spent some time on this one

Highly ambitious men can endure extraordinary amounts of suffering, but being misunderstood by the woman they love can hurt them more than anything else.
I think people underestimate how much significance a man attaches to the opinion of a woman he loves and respects. He can withstand professional failures, and immense uncertainty while pursuing his ambitions, yet a single expression of disappointment from her can leave him questioning himself in ways the rest of the world never could.
This vulnerability is humiliatingly beautiful, a man who has cultivated resilience against the world can become so emotionally susceptible to one woman’s perception of him.
And I think women need to recognise the gravity of being entrusted with this part of a man’s emotional existence. Her faith in him can become one of his greatest sources of strength, particularly during moments when his own conviction begins to falter.
