Nice write up. It looks like we did our bachelor's around same time though it seems you don't have any kids yet, right? Having a kid has complicated a few things but hopefully nothing too bad

Agreed, last few years I have been working in semi-leadership position. At first, I thought I wanted to move to management but it wasn't exactly what I expected. However, my technical skills suffered. I tried to go back to a simple dev

For last few years, I have been telling myself to take it slow and do what you are doing now. I got a easy but a boring job. I figured this way I will save all my mental energy for my projects after work. But this is slowly burning me out.

Agreed. Right now, I have about dozen unused names that I bought because I was working on some ideas but got side tracked. Maybe I will finish these projects next year or next decade. But I don't want some 3rd party deciding if I shoul

One of my client charged $100k+ for their SaaS product. It simply guided clients to setup their IT budgets. They had 10s of customers. The value this software provided was worth it to the right customer.

Also in countries like India and Pakistan with very high percentage of smokers, we are seeing very low COVID19 cases. While a lot of people are skeptical of the official numbers from these countries, I think they have free media and if case

A lot of devs don't realize that other than your HR manager, you can ignore others. Anytime a PM asked me something unreasonable, I simply said no and if They pretended like i need to obey them, I got my real manager involved. It alway

I am confused, are you using MomentJS for fancy output like 3 days ago etc or for simple output like 5/31/2020? I can see how it is useful in former case but seems overkill in later case.

Forcing companies to host hateful content will drive away regular users. That's not good for business.

This is 100% true especially stupid libraries that are someone's class project. And JavaScript developers are so used to dependency hell that one of my developer imported 3rd party package for date formatting.

Of course, no one planned it. But encouraging or demanding to take shortcuts is what caused it. I have been in software industry for 15 years and this happens all the time, being forced to release unfinished features, asked to ignore securi

This is really amazing, I never thought that there are people who would accept wrong food in a resturant. Also finding it kind of unbelievable that there are so many people who accept cold food. Is it because right now a lot of us are feeli

I don't think you can make excuses for UberEats or whatever. Food delivery is not a new problem. I have been ordering pizza and Chinese food for more than 2 decades. It is very rare when we received cold pizza. And most of the time whe

I use Fi, when it was Project Fi they had great support. Now it is Google Fi and my last interaction with their support was bad enough that I am ready to switch. I would never trust Google with my business.
