@ProgressiveCod2 Interesting read!
By the way- out of curiosity, both Cloud SQL/RDS offer automated failovers with multi az out of the box. Flipkart might not be using them as mentioned in the article. But would there any value add on top of these cloud offerings to still build in-house?
Train 12155 running late by 4 hours today and we have no idea when will it reach delhi. It reached 7 hours late yesterday, 17 hours late a day before. Why are these trains even running and why are passengers not informed about what’s wrong??
@NWRailways@RailMinIndia @RailwaSeva
@RailwaySeva pathetic condition in Train 09322. No water, no pantry, old and used beddings all around, no attendants to distribute new linen, garbage all around. On top of this train is late by 3.5 hours. Please get this checked.

@abhinav Simple things that stood out for me- a. Selecting high value bets for the week, not more than 2. b. Hand written journal for daily tasks. c. Zen hours at min 4 hours stretch, like No to all meetings at least once a week. Sometimes also called as deep work.
