Is Software Development Hard? Or, We are making it complicated?

When Idealist Software Architect Meet Reality

When Idealist Software Architect Meet Reality

My name is Vishwas. I am a software architect. I recently joined this new organization. Actually, they hired me because they were impressed with my work in the tech community.

It seems they are going to get a big client project soon, and they want to make sure that the project is successful. I am also excited to work on this project.

An Amazing Lesson I Learned From My Ex-Manager

An Amazing Lesson I Learned From My Ex-Manager

If I ask you, “have you ever worked on a project with unrealistic deadlines?”, some of you may reply “dude, that’s our default mode of working” 😉

Yes, we have all been there at some point of time in our careers. If we are in this situation once in a while, that may be acceptable. But if we are in this mode of working on a regular basis, then it is very difficult to cope with it.

When you finally meet your hero

When you finally meet your hero

It’s already 8.50am. I got stuck in the traffic, and I doubt I would be on time for the meeting by 9.30am. Somehow, I managed to reach the office by 9.35am, and it looks like the meeting is not yet started. Oh, I didn’t tell you why I am so excited for this meeting, right. It’s actually a workshop, and it’s going to be conducted by Mr Vinod. THE AWESOME VINOD.

The Tiffin center with IT culture and yummy food

Usually, on Sundays we get breakfast and dinner from outside instead of preparing at home. We know a nice place from where we usually get the breakfast, but yesterday we wanted to try some new place. After searching around for 30 minutes we finally found a new tiffin center.

I went to the shop and asked the person sitting at cash counter what I want, and she repeated my order loudly to the people preparing the food.

The other side of successful life

The other side of successful life

I have been waiting for the movie “Ranga Maarthaanda” ever since it was announced because I am very interested in films, film making process, how the actors lives are, etc. Yesterday the “Ranga Maarthaanda” movie got released, and it is about the life of a very talented and popular stage actor. I have watched the film and since then so many thoughts are going through my mind continuously. Somehow I feel I am doing the same mistakes as the lead character in the movie did, who ended up having a miserable life at the end of his life.

Why I don't read personality development books anymore?

Why I don't read personality development books anymore?

I want to be successful in my career. Who doesn’t? Everyone wants to be successful. But sometimes we don’t know how to deal with a problem, then we seek advice from others like our elders or books etc. A lot of people, especially youngsters, try to read books which can be broadly categorized into Personality Development or Self Help books to become a better person.

That’s a wonderful thing because life is too short to make all the mistakes by yourself and learn from them. Most of the problems we face today might have already been faced by lot of other people, and they might have figured out how to handle them in a better way. So, it is best to learn from those experiences instead of doing the same mistakes again.

Oh yeah, Indian Software Developers Code Sucks!!!

Oh yeah, Indian Software Developers Code Sucks!!!

In India, there is a news channel called TVx. Whenever they don’t have any other interesting news to grab people attention, they start telecasting their all-time favorite programs like Is the world is going to end in 2048? or Is Mayan’s prediction about world ending is right? or Is IT employees are suffering from psychological problems? etc.

In the same way, some websites keep writing articles like Code produced by Indians is bad quality or The Indian programmer myth etc for every 6 months. The 2020 Q4 edition is released, grab while it is hot!
