How hard is it to understand that if you make the minimum payment on a loan, you are only paying the interest and the principal is not reduced at all.
With this strategy, you will keep paying it till you die.

Wondering if people are so ignorant and stupid that they keep posting videos about idling at work despite multiple layoffs in past couple of years.

This is just jealousy! Software Engineering is only going to widen in base with AI.
engineer hierarchy:
electrical
mechanical
chemical
environmental
[every other kind of engineering]
...
"software engineering"

This post highlights a common misunderstanding among those who haven’t been on the hiring side of the table.
Hiring is far from an exact science. Both candidates and companies rely on heuristics to make progress.

he wanted to interview a person for a role with 24 LPA budget but don't want to give 19 LPA (which saves them 5 LPA) because the person was earning 8 LPA
he is not happy with saving 5 LPA on a skilled person.
he doesn't want a win-win.
he wants to defeat the other person.

That’s why the idea of having a fixed budget for a role and offering purely based on internal evaluation works best only for companies that can afford deep evaluation processes, like FAANG. For most others, it’s a mix of signals: interview performance, previous compensation, etc.

You might feel it's unfair, but if companies stop considering past salaries altogether, candidates will likely double down on interview prep. The result? Even greater disconnect between interview performance and actual on-the-job performance.

Recent hyper focus on ADHD is a classic case of first-world manufactured problem, basically affluenza.
Make a normal thing like watching cat videos classified as a disease. And sure, here’s a medicine for it. Capture by Big Pharma is real.

2/ ADHD brains are interest-driven, not importance-driven
Non-ADHD brains respond to importance: "I need to do taxes because they're due."
ADHD brains chase interest: "Taxes are boring, but this cat video is fascinating!"
This fundamental difference explains why willpower alone isn't enough.

“That’s like saying some other guy is going to be a better husband for your wife!” PG exclaimed. “It might be true, but you don’t act on it!”
Such a great analogy to nudge towards self-improvement.

Ryan Petersen on what Paul Graham told him when he stepped down as Flexport CEO
Y Combinator founder Paul Graham was Flexport’s first investor. Ryan Petersen recalls telling Paul that he was hiring Amazon’s Dave Clark to replace him as CEO in 2022:
“No one has ever been more disappointed in me than when I told PG that I was hiring a CEO,” Ryan remembers.
Paul first asked Ryan if Flexport was his life’s work, to which he answered “Yes.”
“Then why would you ever leave?” Paul asked.
Ryan said he thought the new CEO would be better for the company.
“That’s like saying some other guy is going to be a better husband for your wife!” PG exclaimed. “It might be true, but you don’t act on it!”
Then PG offered Ryan the following advice:
“If this is your life’s work, and you think he’s better than you. You need to go learn all of the things that he’s better than you at so that you can come back and do the job.”
And that’s exactly what Ryan did. After a year, he returned as CEO of Flexport.

Hard work and extra hours is just one of the many ways to succeed, not the only way. Most people will benefit from sitting for 2 mins and being more intentional about what to do and how to go about it.

So many people think that in order to be great at something, they need to sacrifice their time with their family and friends, when it’s precisely the opposite, when you are surrounded by the right people, people who love and support you unconditionally, you achieve so much more.
