About konark’s remark.
Yesterday konark said, You should write it, what went wrong. He said it playfully, but I kind of took it personally. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about it.
What went wrong? The problem is Vishvjeet, Venktesh, Mayank came back. Mayank I don’t even want to talk to. Farhin has a problem and bharath had a communication break down.
So visvjeet and Mayank should have gotten repremants and probably should have thrown out of the batch.
So I clearly kept the bar low.
Second is I taught them things that may not be the directly using at all. It would have been better to teach them about debugging than prototype and all.
Then I didn’t do much of the reviews.
Then my motive was mainly around learning myself. Not teaching them.
Then when it is first time you are pretty much guaranteed to fail.
What really hurt was the mistake I made was on the price of konark money and the money I demanded was unnecessary. and my reaction of failure.
- keep the bar high, if it does not meet then you need to fire them.
- review daily and rotational reviews for the last 3.
- design the course in accordance of the what people need in the industry.
You also need to help vishvjeet and mayank to get on the payroll.
You are the winner in terms of the learning, but I don’t like the fact that I did this in the expense of konark.
The goal for this time is to make sure all the people are employable with ease. and I will probably tone down the estimation this time. make it a priority if you are taking money from him.
