A side project I created because the roads in India are terrible and it needs to be highlighted.

So i created Gaddhe [1] (pothole in english) as a website where users can upload geotagged pothole photos anywhere within India and it will pinned on the map

I took heavy UI inspiration from a similar site [2] built for bangalore

shoebham — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 06:01:59 +0000

out of 1.5 million most of the students are from tier 2 and tier 3 colleges. The education and opportunities in Tier 2 colleges makes most of the student employable while students from tier 3 colleges are barely employable.

out of 1.5 million only 10% are employable i.e 150k grads [1] Out of that 150k, 50% will be employed by mass recruiters (Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, HCL, Wipro)

The numbers you've provided are typically associated with mass recruiters who hire students fresh from college (most of whom are bad at coding). These companies (Infosys, Tcs etc.) pays peanuts compared to other reputed companies. The number of candidates for these mass recruiters is so high, it often reduces the average salaries.

If you only consider good colleges and good companies, the number would be around

Fresh: $10k - $20k

3-5 YOE: $20 - $35k

>5 YOE - >$35k

I made an extension [1] to summarise terms and conditions of your current webpage. After reading the recent news related to disney+, the idea struck me what all unusual clauses websites put in their T&Cs.

It currently doesn't work on some sites.

shoebham — Fri, 06 Sep 2024 15:45:10 +0000

After reading the recent news regarding disney [1], I thought of creating something that can give a brief of terms and conditions of the website you're using.

So I created this extension with assistance from cursor (or cursor created this extension with my assistance).

Ask HN: What is the Backup plan for another outage like this?

shoebham — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 17:14:21 +0000

With windows and other OS being installed on many devices for daily usage, what can be done to reduce centralised point of failure? Todays outage made it clear that windows is used on many critical systems, and another outage like this can happen again which will result in many problems.

Show HN: Excalidraw in New Tab

shoebham — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 12:58:48 +0000

Sometimes you may want a blank canvas to pen down your thoughts, instead of the usual new tab page. this extension is just for that, It opens excalidraw in an iframe in your new tab and stores your canvas locally which persists over new tabs

This is quite a common practice in some countries, Here in India there's a whatsapp scam going where someone from an international number contacts you to give fake ratings to places on google maps in return for 150INR (1.8 USD)

just one small change, clicking a link on a title should open a new tab instead of opening it in the same tab
