I have been struggling to get into focussed deep work and be more productive for my role. I have tried following methods still things are not working as expected. Any help or methods or tools that have helped you please share here • Have focussed time blocks for dedicated deep work. But since team management is also part of my role, with growing team the time blocks are becoming too small. • Tried with no meeting days but since whole org does not adhere too it, working with cross functional teams not able to achieve it. • Following are the tools i tried with to track todos and ensure not getting lost ◦ Pencil and notebook with regular strike off. Unable to be effective to jot down and gets lost to search for anything ◦ Apple Notes . Have worked to an extend. ◦ FocusTodo - Helped in achieving small time blocks • Any other effective ways or methods you follow can you share to make ur day more productive. Role is mix of people management plus hands on engineer. So typical day would involve more of PRs, architecture discussion, business discussion, task management , unblock other devs

Good tool to build a CV/resume on? Have a notion portfolio, but need something I can send as an easy PDF

I've received a hiring assignment and the interview NDA explicitly states that any idea/feature suggested during the interview process is the intellectual property of the company and they may implement them in their products. Is this a common practice? Feels straight-up unethical to me 😅

Anybody receiving money from Cyprus with less transfer fees? I've checked wise.com and xoom.com. Thank you in advance.

Hi can someone suggest where I can get a split keyboard? Seems like there are not many options.

What’s the best VPN service you use it in India? (I’m looking for monthly subscription model)

Best sites to print custom merch in India? (tshirts, hoodies, caps, bagpacks, etc). Preferring quality over price

I just cleared my slack messages from all communities I'm a part of and noticed that the same message was posted in multiple communities. Most have just become a promotion channel for most members. I believe one way to stop it by having paid communities with a moderated intent. Which are the top 2-3 Slack communities that folks here have derived the maximum value from? (Free or Paid and apart from RI) Would want to be part of those rather than the ones that are not adding much value.

🆘 Request for help in publishing RI Brew Can you volunteer one hour every week to publish the RI weekly newsletter? This task could be an excellent opportunity to • Learn the process of curation and publishing • Build your visibility in the RI tribe If you'd like to help, drop me a DM sharing why you are interested. (I will get back by EOD today) Cheers, and have a great day 🌻

Hey guys, I am looking for a job switch (US/Canada based) and wondering if anyone here has had experience with Virtual US Numbers. I believe having this will up my chances atleast from the initial screening and then I can be honest about it that I am based out of India during the interview Note- I do intend to move to Canada & in the process of immigration & improving my CRS score. Getting a job in these countries should increase my chances to move. Any 2 cents?

Hello everyone, just want to get a general idea from folks about remote work plans: how many of us are: 1. Working remote from different destinations (does not have to be X months a year, but at least trying actively) - 1️⃣ 2. Working remote but mainly from home/cafe in city - 2️⃣ 3. Work and destination (or anything other than a office environment) are not mixing well - 3️⃣ The main reason I want to understand is how things are changing since this year or might be next year. I was telling @calm-grass-85557 about my interests in a larger co-work/co-live space in Sikkim but I would first like to understand if people are still looking for more destinations. Would love your votes with the numeric icons, thank you! ❤️

Hey Everyone, Is anyone aware of vaccine certificates for infants? Something similar to what we have for Covid -19 vaccines Context - I see that kids need to be given quite a lot of vaccines in their early age. But there is no way to prove/authenticate that they have actually taken the vaccine. What if someone needs a proof of vaccine after few years (My friend needed it when they applied for US Green card). If we are getting vaccinated from Private hospitals, I can ask for some document, but what if I choose to provide vaccines at Government centres?

Hey tribe, I am planning to go to Bali with my friends. Those who have been there can give me some good-to-know pointers? @calm-grass-85557 @billions-father-5156

Anyone can connect me to someone in or was in Thrillophilia? Friend is looking at an opportunity there and wanted to understand the culture and how the company is in general.

Hi tribe, anybody has experience getting repaired the damaged body of a Dell(or any other) laptop? The hinge is damaged and it partially broke some of the surrounding plastic structures. Though the laptop is working fine, it's risky to fold/unfold it due to its deformed shape and I'm forced to use it as a desktop now 😆 Asking because the nearest store is ~40km away and they aren't reachable by phone. Would like to know if it is even worth it 😄

Any android users here who switched to iPhone and regretted it? I remember seeing some posts here about people selling their new iPhones. So, I am a little hesitant to make the jump 😅

Hey guys, I'm traveling to Lucknow mid next month. Planning to work from there for ~3 days, looking for recommendations on co-working spaces which offer day or week passes. Also if any of you are there it would be nice to hang out! (I saw this post, but it's from 2 years ago)

Hey Tribe, I'm planning a Bali trip and is a bit confused on the Travel insurance part. 1. SBI/ICICI/HDFC: Standard big shots, safer(?). But doesn't cover adventure sports. 2. Digit & Tata: Covers adventure sports, has lower premium. #2 seems a bit too good to be true and possibility of hidden catches. Has anyone had experience with either of these? Worst case scenario is to take both.

Hey tribe, I am looking for sponsors for an event I've been part of since 2013 - Barcamp Bangalore. Barcamp is what we call an unconference - an open event focused on people, ideas and collaboration. Barcamp doesn't have a set agenda and the speakers are chosen on a first-come, first-serve on the day of the event. Barcamp features speakers from all facets of life- from software developers, photographers, historians, astronomers and more. Barcamp is an all day, entirely free event, and the free event is possible only because of sponsors. We have a venue sponsor - RV University in Mysore Road, Bangalore and looking for more sponsors for the event. If you/your company is interested in sponsoring or want to know more, feel free to DM, or contact us. The blog post & sponsorship deck is available here https://planning.barcampbangalore.com/call-for-sponsors-for-barcamp-bangalore-2022/

Hey folks. Anyone experienced with Tableau here? Our use case involves having the visualisations be embedded on an (authenticated) website. Basically we are a data company and are selling visualisations (based on the data) to 3rd party folks. If you have any idea around good models to implement this while keeping costs down or not having our customers needing to create their own Tableau accounts, that would be helpful to me in evaluating this. Thanks!

Hey #tribe How does one who is not a designer or a developer get remote opportunities outside India? Are companies outside India open to recruiting for those roles? If yes, what are the skillsets required? Trying to understand the remote (outside India) market for such skillsets.

🚨 [Buying Advice] iPhone 14 pro vs Motorola edge 30 ultra I am planning to buy a good camera phone. I've the option to get iphone 14 pro from USA 🇺🇸 ( ~83k ). Not concerned with e-sim thing. Never been an iphone user. Privacy matters to me 😄 ( Am a security engineer ) Big billion days are upcoming and motorola is ~56k with 200MP camera. Even the front camera is 60MP 😅 iPhone reasons to buy : 1. Camera 2. Privacy Android : 1. Experience and convenience - ( like sms organiser etc ) 2. This phone's camera is good 3. Charging is 125W - super fast Since having a stock android on this, is privacy such a big concern 🤔 Also, I am okay with installing custom ROMs etc. Hence, that shouldn't be an issue. Any other options are welcome too 😄
