@kavyaj93 @ResumeyPro I am a big fan too!

[Amarnath @amarnus]

@kavyaj93 Not a big fan of the guy but given that he concedes that there are exceptions, how do you see his point about WFH being a privilege with inequitable distribution across the workforce i.e. seen as a right by some while it is simply not an option for others.

Engineer when asked to provide T-shirt size/effort in person weeks/complexity estimate for vaguely defined high-level product requirements

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.

[Amarnath @amarnus]

@kavyaj93 Haha. Nice! I have been trying to guess the word that was your fourth try. Was it "chomp"? The word on that day was "scare".

[Amarnath @amarnus]

This has been happening to me all week! When you are one letter short and there are multiple valid candidates, it is just luck, no?

#Nelson should just make a spin-off series called "The Adventures of Mahaali & Kili"

[Amarnath @amarnus]

@kavyaj93 Wow. Nice! That's a good tip. Will try that.

I operate a mesh of microservices at work & a mesh of natural lizard repellants at home.

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

@bpsagar Hahahahaha. Perfect Internet response to something that would probably work as valid management/coaching advice.

[Amarnath @amarnus]

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.

[Amarnath @amarnus]

@govind201 Hahaha. Been solo passenger for many years - so hopefully that empathy that I have should stick.

[Amarnath @amarnus]

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.

Q: How did the cyclist with a poor sense of navigation get good at solving the Sudoku?
A: By backtracking regularly

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!
