    Thanks for doing these in-depth interviews, Rahul. I love to hear about the adversity people overcame to get to where they are - with Kunal and Igor. I've also heard you talk about important communication is in engineering. Would love to see a video on how you or others you've spoken to develop that. It's a common thread I've observed in interviewers at FAANG and I wonder whether it's self-selected or bred inside these organizations. What can someone do to develop clarity of thought in addition to teaching and writing on a topic?

I don't know why people can't take the myths the way it is. Btw, what's your take on his course or his perspective on job and coding and stuffs

    Kunal's community is really cringe. The tech growth community will start seeing people asking the same old boring doubts- "Sir, how to learn DSA?", " Should I do CP?", " How to get a job at Google?", "how to learn dp?". The reality is 90% of them are not putting in work and will keep asking you the same questions over and over again. I don't want tech growth community quality to downgrade. I am a part of slack community but recently the quality of audience has downgraded sadly. It is still an awesome community and I want it to grow more .Kunal is awesome but his viewers are not so please think carefully about collaborating with Kunal in future.
