The Irregular Journal of a Pseudo-Random Software Engineer
It’s fun! No doubt about that. If you are a web developer or a cloud enthusiast like me, you will love DigitalOcean. I found it to be a true personification of creating cloud infrastructure that scales as you grow. Unlike the wild pricing jungles of Azure and AWS, DO has a pretty neat price sheet. […]
I am back from two days of sheer coding, brainstorming, strategizing and bonding. It was one of the most tiring weekends I’ve ever had. I drove more than 100 kilometers going to and fro. When Shivam told me about the 2018 edition of Hackeam, I was not immediately excited. It was when I heard about […]
I have said it before. Rails is awesome. I find myself creating a new web application in Rails rather than, say, ASP.NET or even PHP much more often. It is intuitive and uncomplicated. Command-line tools and pre-handpicked components allow me to focus more on writing code and implementing business logic. While working on a Rails […]
Wikipedia defines blind cricket as “a version of the sport of cricket adapted for blind and partially sighted players.” Before yesterday, I didn’t know it existed. Shame on me! It is not every day that you get a chance to meet players of an international sports team. That happened to me at Disability Matters Asia Conference 2017, yesterday, July 28, where […]
The screenshot says it all. I did it! It’s a proud feeling. Now rather than rambling here, I’ve done that on the beautiful git repository I have created for my Ruby on Rails blog. Check it out – https://github.com/anuragbhd/ror-blog.
Ici je suis écrit en français. C’est mon prèmier blog en français: un effort sincère sans beaucoup d’aide de Google Translate. Je n’écris pas beaucoup mots que je ne connais pas. Mais je ne devrais pas me limiter à l’écriture de blogs pour apprendre le français. Je devrais écouter des chansons françaises et lire leurs paroles. Et […]
Don’t let “edition” in the title mislead you into believing I’ve had a lot of fun trip to Bangalore before. But I’m hoping I will going forward. Nishith and I went on an official trip to attend Microsoft’s March 16-17 Tech Summit event. I have nothing much to say about the event other than it was […]
Everyone is talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI). Recent times have seen a big surge in AI research and huge investments in that direction by corporates and academia. Major IT and consulting players have even declared AI as an emerging trend, and have started offering AI-based services to their clients. Working at Accenture Labs, it’s a […]
You have no doubt heard of Progressive Web Apps by now, PWA for short, haven’t you? No? That’s okay. The thing is still pretty new. Although the concept is not entirely unique, recent advances in web standards & technologies have now made it possible to create mobile-first web apps that work equally well on desktops […]
Stack Overflow is an interesting place. I have never really used my SO account, other than to ask a couple of meteor.js questions. That was 4 years ago! SO is something I visit almost everyday. I know you do that too, so keep that condescending smirk to yourself will ya? I think time has come […]
