@rtfeldman Programmed for almost 20 years, been in management for almost 20.
Yep, been working almost 40 years, the last 35 of them in Tokyo.
I'm looking to retire soon, but hope programming remains a viable career for those who follow. It's fun af.

@RekkaAlexiel Oh, absolutely the same. I wanna move to a sunny tropical place after retiring, or at least spend a few months of the year there. When it comes to weather my Indian genes have won against my Canadian upbringing.

@ministerofcope But it's also punishing us gaijin!

I'm 61 now and never in my lifetime expected Indians to be a wedge issue in US politics.
Interesting times, as someone said...

@learning_yohei Hey @Philly_P87 , Wolverine is Canadian, eh?

@istvan_csanady Let me get my time machine fired up...

@HistoryBoomer In 1970s/80s Canada, Indian immigrants were doing well, but were more humble and kept their heads down.

Now India’s economy has moved up a bit in the food chain. Combined with jingoistic Hindu nationalism, much hubris has taken over. And hubris in newcomers annoys people.

@patriotEng1neer @HistoryBoomer British individuals weren’t kicked out of India. The independence process was orderly and peaceful.

Granted, there was a biblical-scale chimpout shortly afterward between Hindus and Muslims. Brown-on-brown violence.

@ChShersh In your dreams man.

Reality: I’m in the cubicle adjacent to you , trying to debug a 403 permissions error.

@mdsjql80 If it's clearly discrimination, hell yes.

@Noahpinion At this stage my life, 1 million would do for it me.

@Philly_P87 I used to eat ‘em sometimes, when skating on the canal.

[Shamalamadingdong @anroy_research]

This is quite beautiful.

This Bengali version of Devi Parvati Bhajan from Hanuman Ansh is pure gold. 😍🔥

The devotion hits different in Bangla.
Maa Parvati’s zid + that soulful melody = absolute goosebumps…

Not just a divine song, an experience. ❤️🙏

@gaiaslastlaugh I first heard it as BGM in a sporting goods store in Shinjuku.
And coincidentally a few weeks ago I tuned my car radio to AFN instead of J-Wave. The latter had been sucking for the past few years and I finally ditched it.
Now I hear this song almost once a day when I drive.

@Indicfederr0d Would love to go scuba diving there at some point

[Shamalamadingdong @anroy_research]

@PaulSkallas I’m loving how the Saudi’s are hitting back in this thread 😅

[Shamalamadingdong @anroy_research]

@SofySerene “Yummy❣️” is probably what I’d say

@The_FJC To start with, a non-AI one.
