Observations from my Frame of Reference

          I am a developer with six years of experience, having worked in both startup and enterprise environments. I began my journey at Ola Financial Services, a small startup, where I navigated daily chaos and contributed to multiple product deliveries within a short span.   For the past five years, I have been with Flipkart, where  we have shipped numerous products, pulled many late nights performing NFR , tackled production issues, stretched through weekends to meet timelines, mentored several juniors and  learned from experienced seniors.           I am writing this article to share the strategies that help me stay efficient—both as an individual and as a team player.

What Caused the Great Depression?  The great depression started with the stock market crash of October 1929. The 1920s, after the end of the first World War, was a period of prosperity for America.

Wall Street saw one of the greatest bull runs in history, S&P 500 saw a 500% rise from the low at 6.4...
