🇮🇳 India: Before vs After Jio




Hi Folks, Do you remember when we had keypad phones with internet, or early touchscreen phones running on 2G and later 3G? But at what cost? Around ₹399 to ₹499 for just 1GB per month. Back then, we used data very carefully. Some of us used Facebook Lite and Opera Mini to save data. We disabled updates, paused downloads, and even turned off mobile data when we were not using any app. Every MB mattered.


Then came Reliance Jio, and we were introduced to unlimited 4G. In the beginning, it was mostly free for quite a few months. Later, even the paid plans were almost half the price compared to what other telecom providers were offering. What used to be given per month was now given per day. We slowly got used to consuming content without fear of running out of data.


Because of this, many people turned towards content creation. A lot of YouTube channels and Instagram accounts started growing. Personally, my favorite are the educational content creators who gave me so much information, which helped me become what I am today. Affordable internet made learning easier and accessible to everyone.


And not to forget, Work From Home would have been very tough if personal WiFi plans were still that expensive. During COVID, things would have been much worse without the revolution brought by Jio in the telecom sector and the Indian digital economy.


Hats off to Jio for changing the game and making internet accessible to millions of people in India. 🇮🇳

Students and Freshers in IT, It’s time to learn Linux

Image
  Hi folks, I did my bachelor’s degree from REVA University, and the course was custom-designed to meet industry requirements. We learned Linux, virtualization, cloud, DevOps tools, etc. But Linux kept being used every now and then in all the subjects — and that helped me a lot in my career. Linux is really everywhere. Around 95–97 percent of the servers are powered by Linux. Now comes the question — why Linux? Linux is an open-source kernel. You can do whatever you want with it. It has a huge community that keeps securing it, creating tools, packages, etc. Linux can be lightweight compared to Windows. It runs quickly and boots up faster. It is very important that you learn Linux. As an IT professional, I would say, “Linux helps you climb the ladder, and it’s the foundation for all your dreams.”

Stack overflow vanishing??

Image
  Hi folks,  It feels sad to see that the site many of us used to visit whenever we faced errors – Stack Overflow – is now at the verge of decline. It was a place where developers shared their problems, and experts from around the world contributed solutions, insights, and discussions. For many engineers, this platform was the starting point of real learning beyond textbooks. It helped us understand practical problems, learn from others’ experiences, and grow as developers. Today, with the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others, the way we search for solutions has changed. Many developers are moving towards these tools for faster answers, and gradually platforms like Stack Overflow are seeing less engagement. While it is important to evolve with new technologies, I believe we should not forget the platforms that helped millions of engineers learn and solve problems. Thank you, Stack Overflow, for being a guide and a mentor to developers around the world. 🙏
