Finally today, I made the difficult decision to resign from my role. The team was talented, the problems were interesting, and I learned a tremendous amount over the last year. I'm grateful for the opportunity and the people I worked with.

However, the pace and expectations had become unsustainable in the long run, and I realized it was time to find an environment where I can continue building impactful products while maintaining a healthier balance and long-term growth trajectory.

After giving 4 rounds of interview along with assessment with deployed url, the company reached out 4 weeks later for 3 more interviews. Is it normal for startups?

Guardrails are integral part while dealing with AI, but it is not managed properly. Every AI application rebuilds the same reliability layer repeatedly. I started a project to make that unnecessary. Checkout my new package - npmjs.com/package/openguard

How do you evaluate that you have built a good system? Follow these 4 steps: 1. Break system into components 2. Every component should have exclusive responsibilities 3. Technical detailing for each component 4. Each component is scalable, fault tolerant

The most useless feature ever built by @SlackHQ is split view. If you wonder how, just click on it on the desktop. Boom! half screen gone and empty. This is from my experience after fighting for 1 hr to get it back to normal. Not only features, change UX @SlackHQ
