Cognizant GenC 2025-26 Campus Hiring: Full Process Breakdown by a Selected Candidate

·1 views

A MERN stack developer shared a detailed first-hand account of Cognizant's GenC on-campus hiring process for the 2025-26 cycle, which spanned roughly three and a half months from November 2025 to late February 2026. The process consisted of multiple proctored assessments, including an English communication test, an aptitude test on the Aon platform, and a 120-minute technical assessment covering Java, SQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The technical round featured practical coding and query-writing tasks rather than purely multiple-choice questions, with strict one-way navigation that prevented candidates from revisiting earlier questions. Shortlisted candidates then faced a one-on-one video interview on the Superset platform covering projects, core Java, SQL, computer science fundamentals, and HR scenarios. The GenC role falls under the Information Technology track and offers a package ranging from ₹4.0 LPA to ₹6.75 LPA.

Developer releases open-source Python tool for rendering NOAA MRMS radar data

Taylor Creative Development has released MRMS Renderer, an open-source Python project that processes and visualizes weather radar data from NOAA's Multi-Radar/Multi-Sensor system. The tool handles the full pipeline from downloading GRIB2 files to rendering animated radar overlays on OpenStreetMap via Leaflet, all running locally without a hosted service. Benchmarks on an M4 Pro MacBook Pro showed the complete workflow finishing in roughly two seconds, with data download identified as the primary bottleneck rather than rendering. The project uses NumPy vectorization, ecCodes for GRIB2 decoding, and is published under the Apache License 2.0 on GitHub. It was originally built as research for a broader weather app called Weather Experience, but was restructured into a standalone, well-documented reference implementation for developers working with NOAA radar data.

Browser-Based File Conversion Keeps Your Data Local, No Upload Needed

Modern browsers can now read, transform, and export files directly on a user's device without sending data to third-party servers. Tools like I Hate Converter use browser APIs such as File, Blob, Canvas, and Web Workers, along with locally loaded WebAssembly modules, to handle conversions entirely on-device. This approach eliminates upload queues, account requirements, and server-side processing steps, making it useful for sensitive files like draft documents, scanned records, or internal media. Supported formats include common image conversions such as JPG to PNG and WebP, while more complex formats can be handled via WebAssembly libraries running within the browser sandbox. However, developers note limitations: lossy image quality cannot be restored through re-encoding, and large media files can still place significant demands on local CPU and memory.

Developer spends $58 on founder-targeted ads for new service, earns zero revenue

A developer launched a small conversion-copywriting service with a live Stripe checkout and spent $58 across four paid placements on platforms including LaunchPact and LaunchBuff to reach potential founder customers. Despite reported ad views and featured listings, none of the campaigns generated a confirmed human visit or a completed purchase. One visitor opened a $49 checkout session but left without entering an email or paying, and the reason for abandonment could not be determined. The experiment revealed that reaching a broad founder audience does not equate to reaching founders who currently have the specific problem the service solves. The developer has since simplified the landing page to show the price, delivery date, and a direct checkout link, and outlined a basic server-side funnel to distinguish real buyer activity from crawler traffic.

Developer Consolidates 6 Go Microservices into Monorepo, Achieves 15x Faster Releases

Software developer Amandeep Singh recently completed a project migrating six separate Go microservice repositories into a single unified monorepo setup. The migration involved rethinking architecture decisions, restructuring release pipelines, and automating the build and deployment processes. As a result of these changes, the release workflow became approximately 15 times faster than the original multi-repo approach. Singh documented the full process, including key architecture choices and lessons learned, in a technical write-up published on DEV Community on August 7.
