Struggling with workplace judgment because of my stutter—any advice? 😔💻

Hi everyone. I have a noticeable stutter, which is why I’m here. I work as a software engineer, but some colleagues treat me like an outsider because of my stutter and quiet nature. Some even laugh at me behind my back, pretending to talk about something else. It’s as if they think I won’t notice. I feel like such an idiot because I can’t communicate smoothly. No one invites me to anything, and people look at me strangely. It’s like I’m invisible—not even a person, just a useless object here to code. Why is it my fault that I can’t speak fluently like them? Why do they treat me this way? Most of them graduated from top universities and worked at big tech companies before this. #WorkplaceBullying #Stuttering #Inclusion #SoftwareEngineering #WorkplaceDiversity

My Wild Ride to Becoming a Software Engineer 🚀

Let me spill the beans: becoming a software engineer isn’t just about memorizing code or acing math tests. When I first set foot in the world of programming, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of languages—Python, Java, C++—and the endless debates about which is best. Spoiler: there’s no perfect language, just the one that fits your style! I dove into open source projects, built quirky apps, and yes, even fumbled through Stack Overflow at 2 a.m. (Don’t judge, we’ve all been there! 😅) The secret sauce? Show off your projects online, ask for feedback, and never stop learning. Degrees help, but passion and real-world practice open doors. Now, here’s my challenge to you: what tripped you up on your coding journey? Did I miss a crucial tip? Drop your wisdom—or roast my mistakes—in the comments. Let’s bridge the knowledge gap together! 💡 P.S. If you’ve got wild internship stories or a favorite coding resource, share it below. We’re all in this digital jungle together! 🦁 #SoftwareEngineering #CareerTips #CodingJourney #Education

Trait Upcasting: Rust’s Game Changer?

Rust 1.86.0 just dropped, and trait upcasting is finally here! This isn’t just a minor tweak—developers can now upcast trait objects directly, making code more flexible and expressive. But with great power comes new risks: raw pointers to trait objects can introduce undefined behavior if misused. Is this a leap forward for safer abstractions, or are we opening the door to subtle bugs? Let’s debate! #RustLang #TraitUpcasting #Programming #TechDebate #SoftwareEngineering #Tech

10 System Design Must-Knows for SDEs

System design interviews are a whole different beast—think less LeetCode, more "How would you build Instagram for a billion users?" If you want to survive interviews at Amazon, Google, or Netflix, you NEED these 10 concepts: from the basics (DNS, APIs) to scaling, caching, messaging, and even sketching out a mock Twitter. Practice is everything. Seriously, this is the checklist that separates coders from real system architects. Don’t just code—design like a pro! #SystemDesign #TechInterviews #SDE #CareerTips #SoftwareEngineering #JobCareer

AI Won't Replace Software Engineers?

Okta's CEO, Todd McKinnon, finds the idea of AI replacing software engineers "laughable." Despite predictions from several tech leaders, McKinnon argues that the demand for skilled engineers will only grow. While AI might handle some tasks, engineers will tackle more complex challenges, driving the industry forward. What do you think—is AI a threat or an ally? 🤔 #AI #SoftwareEngineering #TechFuture #Tech
