Disclaimer: These are just my thoughts. Or rants. :P Every day I code. I face problems. Usually I get immersed in the problem. These days I try to be lazy. I try. I think of how to go past the problem, get rid of it, not face it in the future, make my life easier. I also don’t like to sit idle, waiting for my tests and build. I have a macbook pro 2017 version and even that’s not enough sometimes 🙈 we really need to work on better software folks.

So I’ve planned to run a bit. To practice for a marathon - 5km one. I have run crazily once for 7.5 km. Almost killed myself in the process 😂 Yesterday I ran okay. I ran twice yesterday. Both times quite slowly, atleast that’s what I believe. It looked like I was running very slowly. But you should have seen the amount of energy that I was spending to do that.

Have you ever done remote pair programming over the Internet? Or tried to share your screen over the Internet to show someone something on your screen? Using slack, team viewer, zoom, and what not. How was the experience? Being a programmer, I’m sure a lot of you spend your time in the terminal, editor / IDE and the browser? And probably more! Like slack :P Now, let’s say, I’m going to use slack / zoom to just do audio call over the Internet, or use something like Google Meet or even just a phone call using my mobile network or over the Internet using WhatsApp

So, today I found something funny and interesting. Someone in our slack #tech-reads channel shared a tech read by antirez, the creator of redis software. This is the link that they shared - http://antirez.com/news/123 I immediately tried out the command in my terminal and it was cool! See the recording here - The commands used in the recording are below $ redis-cli 127.0.0.1:6379> lolwut 127.0.0.1:6379> lolwut 10 1 4 127.0.0.1:6379> lolwut 1 1 4 127.

Long ago, in one post I wrote about how to debug Go program in Intellij IDEA / Goland. I realized not everyone uses IDEA ecosystem though, as they are paid. You could check out the IDEA community edition though, which is free. And you can install the Go plugin from here. In my case I used to use IDEA Ultimate and evaluate it (Evaluator version) for free, now I use a company license.

A friend of mine recently shared some posters about a cyclathon / cycle rally He knew that I have been cycling a bit recently. He asked if I wanted to come. I said okay and started planning for this event The theme being “pedal to fight cancer”. The fund from the event would go to Cancer children at Adyar Cancer Institute in Chennai, where I live The first thought was - it’s too early 😂 But I just registered.

It’s been so cool to make my own breakfast. Like, some of it, if not all Two things that I have tried recently - sandwiches and omelette wraps. 😂 This is my own recipe - so my version of how I made the food, and how I named it too 😛 Sandwich Let’s start with the sandwich I got some veggies first - cucumber, carrot, tomato and some sprouts. I decided the sprouts will be like a side dish.

I’ve been cycling for about two weeks now I use the smart bike app to get a rented cycle and I got a helmet for my saftey and I drive almost everyday in the morning and sometimes I have ridden in the evening too during weekends So, why and how did I start doing this? I think the first inspiration for me is my friend Nimalan. Who started cycling and putting posts about his trips and more.

This is a story by me :) We are in a grade 10 class in AllCool School. Students are studying chemistry and their professor has asked them to solve a problem Aman has finished the problem and he is acting as though he’s not done and is pretending he’s thinking about the problem and is looking around to pretend he wants help. While looking around he is thinking “Damn, I wish I could keep looking at Rahul.
