Hackathon is a side-effect of a wider change in modern software development. We seem to have successfully commoditized a portion of it. This portion called "apps" is mostly a cosmetic rearrangement of underlying components. Flush

For some people the sense of fellowship is more important than self-being. If you are one of those, well, it's going to be tough for you. Anyhow I would recommend: 1. Take little walks during work. 2. You also need a sound board, a col

I struggled with similar problems. So I have three fixed buckets of time now. First bucket is the job. Second bucket is for one side project. Third bucket is for anything under the sun: Linux kernel, Reactjs, Rust, Android, ML... I call the

Since many of these bugs are also simultaneously raised by OEM's they are closed internally without feedback. And feedback to what bug, they are so many for the same! Also lot of them are feature enhancements and are really opinionated

"Culture fit" is quite stupid. A fair amount of conflict is key to fiery technical debates and keeping out the complacency. Imagine if the parliament worked like that. Hire people who would own a responsibility and have the abilit

Why is it titled India's answer to Google Glass? Possible explanations: 1. The editors know that Indians are susceptible to jingoistic patriotism. "Wow Indians did this? Really?" 2. The editors think that Indians as a collect

This is really old. C++, Java are mature languages. Scala hit 2.11 in March 2014, while Go version 1 was released in March 2012 and currently is at 1.3. Versions don't tell the whole story, but they do matter.
