First Principles thinking is probably the most underrated skill in TECH. once you understand why an algorithm works, you stop memorizing solutions and start deriving them yourself. It helps you develop intuition and remember in the best way possible unfamiliar problems become less intimidating. patterns start making sense. even hard algorithms feel intuitive. if DSA has ever felt like memorizing 500 random tricks, thita ai's Algorithms from First Principles playlist might completely change how you approach it. wish they had made this earlier playlist link: youtube.com/watch?v=LfktKt6m…

cs nerds, leetcode grinders and future big tech engineers, thank me later… thita.ai

“AI can’t follow coding principles.” “AI can’t untangle tight coupling.” Bro is still prompting GPT-4 in a chat window and pasting the output into VS Code. I watched Opus untangle a 4-year-old god class into clean modules, write the tests first, and explain why each boundary existed. In one sitting under 10 mins. No MISTAKES at all Here’s the uncomfortable truth: AI doesn’t ignore good principles. It ignores the principles you never gave it the context to see. Coupling isn’t hard for AI because it’s dumb. It’s hard because you dropped it into a 200k-line repo blind and expected it to know which 3 files break when you touch the 4th. Give it the dependency graph, the hotspots, the ownership map (I pipe mine in through repowise before the agent touches anything) and the “AI writes spaghetti” problem mostly disappears. So yes, coding is dead. Typing syntax, memorizing APIs, grinding boilerplate. Gone. Engineering isn’t. But the bar just moved. “Average engineer who writes code” is not a job anymore. The ones who survive will be the ones who can design systems, set the constraints, and spot the wrong decision before the agent ships it. You don’t need to code anymore. You need to be brilliant.

how are people going to the gym, hitting 100g protein, making $5k MRR from their AI SaaS, working at FAANG, grinding leetcode, giving interviews, face maxxing, looksmaxxing, maintaining a skincare routine, reading 20 books a year, having a healthy relationship AND getting 8 hours of sleep?? i can’t stop rajma chawal maxxing, doomscrolling, overthinking, taking unnecessary naps and opening the fridge every 20 minutes like something new spawned.

I found a crazy resource for FDE interview prep Forward Deployed Engineer hiring is picking up everywhere, but barely anyone knows what the interview process actually looks like or how to prepare for it. There's so much structured prep for SDE roles, but almost nothing for FDEs. I recently came across a dedicated FDE interview prep track on thita.ai, and it's genuinely impressive. You can even practice FDE mock interviews in a realistic interview environment with an AI interviewer who asks follow-up questions, reviews your code, and challenges your technical decisions. Feels like someone finally built a proper way to prepare for these roles. Definitely worth checking out if you're targeting FDE positions.

Good morning guys

Someone built a full app with AI in one weekend.
Someone automated their 9-to-5 and quit.
Someone made ₹10 lakh from an AI side hustle.
Someone's AI agent runs their business while they sleep.
A 19-year-old just raised funding with an AI prototype.
A thread says "if you're not using AI in 2026, you're already finished." My chest got tight. Then I closed the app. Made chai. Sat on the balcony. Watched the street wake up. And nothing happened. No opportunity disappeared. No door closed. The world didn't leave without me. That's when it hit me: the panic wasn't coming from my life. It was coming from my feed. Fear sells. Urgency sells. "You're missing out" is the most profitable sentence on the internet. You're not behind. You're just being told you are, by people who earn when you believe it. Log off. You'll miss nothing that matters.

Every night I ask myself the same question. Is it the middle? It never is. So I let half of everything go. Without looking back. And again. And again. Until there's almost nothing left but me. No one told me what I was searching for. And then I realise… I was never sorted. binary search only works on sorted lists. Would've been nice to know before I discarded half my existence.

I am looking for high quality cinematic video workflows What do you guys use ?

Google , Meta , Amazon started new interview rounds, Leetcode is still alive though .

Yes
