I am really surprised to read this article on acm. I have nothing against the author. From a technically stand point, I am genuinely disappointed in acm for publishing it. I'm pretty sure, of getting downvotes for these. But heres my c

Its good old Goodhart's law - "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." This culture of submitting a PR to get into conference or get some swag has been there for a while. If I recall correctly, durin

I feel, its important to keep practicing every now and then. I usually swarm hard during job search and eventually lose touch. The again, have to go through the cycle. But every time, I go through, its lesser effort than before. But if you

My undergrad college final year students were one of the last ones where many of us inclined towards coming to US for grad school. This was back in 2013, when INR was also doing very poorly and I remember, my semester fees was as volatile a

Leetcode inherently isn't the problem. But the reliance on leetcode for whole of the interview process is. I have taken far more interviews than I have given and one thing I have observed over a period of time is that, engs right out o

I am soo glad, I pushed back on python migration in my team until 3.6 was released. We were running large amount of django code base in 2.X and 3.6 was the only version which had some reasonable improvements to upgrade to. I sincerely hope

Cannot agree more. If WFH, was really that effective, then most of the jobs would have been outsourced by now. Like it or not, there is location bias in workplace. Pre-pandemic, I have frequently seen remote folks working hard to be seen an

This article has reduced the argument for staging, calling it unnecessary. Its upto the devops to use staging effectively. It you have a waterflow like deployment and useless e2e tests running in staging, then it wont be helpful. Instead, i

I feel so old now. There was a time, when I used to discuss with senior engineers @ Yahoo! to use NginX over Apache. Nginx was the hot thing, popularizing C10k [1]. Now in my current team, I have junior devs in my team pushing for Envoy ove

Robinhood (RH) cannot cure stupidity. The only thing, they did was to kill all brokerage fees to trade stocks. This has made it easy for value investors like myself who occasionally trades stocks. Having said that, I do believe there are lo
