I have given this a lot of thought, and I haven't been able to come up with any reasonable long-term solution that avoids major refactors or swapping out libraries and tools. I am leaning toward pairing React with React Router for crea

I still see many job postings for Angular, mainly from government institutions and non-tech companies. In my region, Angular for the frontend and Java with Spring Boot for the backend still account for a healthy number of job postings.

Two things concern me about Kotlin: 1. The language and its future are heavily intertwined with JetBrains and their motivations. It's difficult to say whether this is a good thing or bad, but issues like the one discussed at https:&#x

Even though I am not as proficient with Rust as I am with the languages I use at work, it has quickly become my favorite language as I dive deeper into it. It has helped me connect many dots that were fuzzy in my mind, like static typing, e

I am in the same boat with you. I have also come to dislike having AI code generator inside my editor. Recently, I started looking into learning Rust seriously and decided to go with RustRover (the rust IDE from JetBrains) and I find that s

+1 for 'A Philosophy of Software Design.' I read that book a while ago and really liked his views on a lot of things. Off the top of my head some of them are: complexity being the greatest enemy of software engineers, the importan

Magit, the git client for emacs, fits the bill perfectly. It is a masterclass in simplicity, effectiveness, and discoverability. It is one of those rare tools that makes you better at the underlying tool it abstracts over; instead of introd

Upon first impression, this is incredible! Audiobooks have enabled me to enjoy fiction books that I, otherwise, would not have been able to due to time constraints or other commitments. Perhaps, in the near future, AI will be able to make m

I have seen many people mention using goodreads, and other web apps to track their reading list. I don't understand using a webapp for this simple use-case. I have always used a simple org file, with the author's name as the first

This reminded me of a short TED talk, I watched many years ago, where a guy showed how to tie your shoes. Here it is: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zAFcV7zuUDA&pp=ygUUdGVkIGVkIHR...

Tintin was, and still is, immensely popular in my part of India. My parents were fond of Tintin while growing up, and they introduced me to it as a child in the mid-2000s. I loved reading the comic books; in fact, I read some of them many t

Wow! this brought back a whole lot of memories. I spent countless hours of my childhood on de_dust, de_dust2, the Italy map and the pool one. I still remember the "Roger that", "Fire in the hole", "Follow me",

This year I have set my goal high: completing 100 books from start to finish. For this, I need to consistently read about 2 books per week(2 * 52 = 104). I plan to read the classics and the most recommended books from the West and India. Th
