I am a self taught programmer (python). I learned things because they required to solve some problem. You face problem and then you find solution. I used to solve puzzles in childhood for competative exams. But now as adult, it is very diff

If possible, I will always go with cheap servers on digital ocean/linode. Don't buy any cost-saving marketing gig from cloud vendors. Serverless could work for you if your workload is unpredictable. But it makes everything complic

I have mentioned this before and mentioning again hoping someone from google will read. Google support literally sucks or they don't know how to do business at all. People are willing to pay for support, so someone at google can listen

Software developer jobs pay so well, many programmers don't know what to do other than that. I feel need of disengagement with laptop so many times but damn I don't know any other thing to pay bills. Also there is always fear of l

Agree absolutely. I think real problem is our interview process. More focus is given on solving tricky questions than overall craft. In day to day tasks, how many times you have to implement those algorithms ? (I am not against knowing algo

I don't know if I am alone or not but I indeed love testing and documentation along with coding. Testing itself is very challenging. Never understood why QA folks are underrated. While for me documentation is like a sharing my cool stu

Been there. Simple python django app. Max 20 APIs. Expecting 100 requests per month. But POs and directors wanted shiny DevOps tools. Problems with typical MNCs. Every quarter manager/director comes with some new hype.

Thanks for putting this down. I too have sweet memories of original article. After reading ESR article, I chose Python over Perl few years back, and kick off my career. But the most important thing article taught me is about hacker mindset.

This is the reason I hate google. No customer support at all. They will just provide link to forum. I will go with Microsoft anytime for business software than Google. I feel like it is company built by nerds with zero business sense. If yo

This always amuses me. > FWIW, the foundation of it all is the act of making a distinction. Agree. Distinctin is more like creating a new pattern, giving rise to dualism. But new term itself is a relative to old one. So old is always par
