The title of IT manager is not relevant any more. A strong IT team with someone filling a role of "facilitator"(Not Manager) can get a lot more done than a sole IT manager taking all the decisions.

This comment is really a tangent to the above topic. Like 8 years back, I was in a java one conference, James gosling was on stage and some one asked him a question about emacs. His reply was, there are so many good editors now and emacs wa

Having a hyper interest for 6 months is a feature not a bug. I see it as strength. In a span of 6 months you can contribute more and then later find some one who is excited about it, transfer it and move on.

I am very satisfied. So far, I sat for a maximum of 3 hrs at a stretch and its still comfortable. After 2 hours, my legs start getting cold, probably because the blood is not flowing there, after that I adjust the recline and it feels bette

After so many articles and discussions like this one here and reading about iclubby and emperor workstation, I took the task to my hands. Couple of days back, I hacked together a good reclining chair that is a lot comfortable then sitting.

The best way to be a team lead is not to be one. Companies impose a title "team lead" when its not necessary at all. If you are skillful, helpful and bring good energy to the team, other people will respect you, trust you and learn from you

In early stages, aspiring programmers need mentors. It would be interesting to know how many people who consider themselves good programmers, spend a reasonable amount of time mentoring other jr. programmers. Looking back in 7 years, there
