Saw a drone light show for the first time on New Year's Day. Was the tech powering this inspired by the leprechaun display at the Quidditch World Cup?

I'm happy to see a lot more open skepticism about microservices in the last year. They're a bad match for most systems, but programmers (and especially programmers' career aspirations) love complexity.

I hope that in business school, they teach folks to respect engineering & engineers - what with software eating the world and all.

I like sending long texts, writing personal invites & thank you notes. I feel like a millennial with a Gen X head stuck in a Gen Z world.

Solo passengers are the unsung heroes of long-distance travel. Them offering to selflessly move is how many families are able to travel together & comfortably despite poor planning. I hope that these kind souls get to sit at their own seats in The Good Place at least.

There is a lot to miss about going to the office: Reliable collection of my parcels, free document printing among other things.

You may be a wily negotiator but you can never beat the salary hike that you got at your first job: Infinity (according to JavaScript, at least) percent!

I have noticed sometimes that our valuation of advice received is inversely proportional to our familiarity with the source. It goes: Family < Friends < Trusted Experts < Random Internet Person. Is this universal behaviour?

"Commenting for better reach" is hands-down the most cringeworthy social norm that I have seen on LinkedIn so far.

Looking to get fitter over the next few months. So I turn to a friend, @praveen_s07, a trusted fitness expert, and ask him: “Will you be my Beedi Rayappan?” #SarpattaParambarai
