31-Test Veteran Emerges As Strong Contender For India Chief Selector's Job

Former India opener Wasim Jaffer has applied for the vacant senior national selector's post, putting himself in contention for a position that fell vacant after the BCCI decided against renewing Ajit Agarkar's contract. "Yes, I have applied for the job," Jaffer confirmed to PTI. The 48-year-old Jaffer played 31 Tests for India, scoring close to 2,000 runs, including five centuries. His Test hundreds included a double century against the West Indies and a hundred in South Africa. He also scored a double century against Pakistan in Kolkata. If selected by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), comprising Ashok Malhotra and Jatin Paranjape, Jaffer would have the highest number of Test appearances among the candidates being considered for the chairman's position. With 31 Tests, he has a better playing record in the longest format than Pragyan Ojha, who represented India in 24 Tests. Under the existing selection process, the member from the zone with the highest num...

Software Developer Fired From Startup After 2.5 Months, Reddit Post Viral

Reddit has become a popular platform for employees to share their job struggles, office experiences, and workplace concerns. Various subreddits have emerged where employees can anonymously share their stories, seek advice, and connect with others who face similar challenges. Recently, a Redditor shared their disheartening experience of getting fired only after 2.5 months at a Bengaluru-based startup. In their post, the former employee claimed that they joined the startup as a fresher with 6 months of internship experience. They were hired as a "frontend developer" and were immediately assigned a stack of tasks that left them exhausted. 

"While I was excited to learn, I didn't have any prior experience with backend development," the Redditor wrote. They shared that within a week of joining, they were assigned an internal project, despite the company being client-based. "Around 70% of my work was backend-related," they said, adding, "Some tasks were manageable, but I encountered errors I couldn't solve, including issues that magically resolved themselves the next day. I conveyed every problem I faced in the project's Slack channel, as instructed. Sometimes I got a response, other times I didn't." 

Take a look below: 

Got fired today. Feeling confused and defeated. Need suggestions.

The user alleged that they communicated every challenge they encountered during their stunt to their superior. "PR reviews often took 3-4 days, which delayed my work and progress, but somehow, the questions and delays were always directed back at me. After working for 2.5 months, I received a message out of nowhere from a board member saying they couldn't continue with me," they said. 

The Redditor claimed that they tried explaining their side of the story to the management, however, their decision was final. "This has left me feeling lost. I'm reflecting on what I could've done better and wondering if I was set up for failure by being assigned tasks I wasn't experienced enough to handle," they wrote. 

"If you've been in a similar situation or have advice, I'd really appreciate hearing from you," the Redditor concluded.

The post was shared a few days back. Since then it has accumulated nearly 500 upvotes.

Reacting to the post, one user wrote, "Don't take it personal to the degree that it affects your self confidence. End of the day they were bad managers themselves that they had no plan in hand and it has come down to this. Use this experience to spot red flags when you find your next company." 

"Expectations were set too high. If you didn't have a person dedicatedly helling you as a fresher, their need was probably of 2-4 years of experience and couldn't afford to dedicatedly help you out. They just didn't want to pay that much and expected you to be able to do it.It's not your fault," commented another. 

"It was a startup, they tend to overwork employees and mostly who stays and who leaves is decided by the upper management which has 0 technical knowledge. Not your fault. It's just if you would have become a full time and gained some exp it would have been good. But then what to do, fate. Find another one and try not to mess up this time," wrote a third user.

Harvard Astrophysicist Says He Found Alien Tech From A Meteor: Report

A Harvard University astrophysicist claims to have made a significant advancement in the quest for extraterrestrial life. Professor Avi Loeb thinks he may have discovered pieces of alien technology from a meteor that crashed in 2014 off the coast of Papua New Guinea. According to CBS News , Loeb and his team just brought the materials back to Harvard for analysis. The U.S. Space Command can confirm with almost near certainty, 99.999%, that it came from another solar system. The government gave Loeb a 10-kilometre (6.2-mile) radius of where it may have landed. "That is where the fireball took place, and the government detected it from the Department of Defence. It's a very big area, the size of Boston, so we wanted to pin it down," said Loeb. "We figured the distance of the fireball based on the time delay between the arrival of the blast wave, the boom of the explosion, and the light that arrived quickly." According to USA Today, the fragments the team uncov...
