I'll be speaking at @clojure_conj 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina

I'll be sharing my story of switching from a career in law to the world of tech. If you're attending, please reach out – I'd love to connect!

I managed to take down my entire server with a personal project. 😅🚨
A rogue Java app caused a silent but major outage on my GCP VM. I wrote up a quick post-mortem on how I found the culprit, fixed the mess, & what I learned so it never happens again.

What’s the difference between testing 🧪for bugs and searching 🔍 for bugs?

Property based tests search for unknown unknowns 🕵️ without relying on the programmer’s ability to enumerate test cases.

The energy at Eden Gardens as Kohli scored his 49th, was out of this world. Its always special when it’s good old Kolkata.

@IndianDiplomacy @NLinUK can you help?

[Oitihjya @oitihjya]

Important & horrifying thread - getting your purse stolen in a foreign land (UK) which carried your residence permit etc

And having no empathy or help from London police despite clear CCTV footage (including the thief’s car number).

@IndiaNetherland @metpoliceuk

[Mourjo Sen (মোর্য্য সেন) @mourjo_sen]

The hotel staff saw the CCTV footage of the thief and called the @metpoliceuk and we were told verbatim that they noted the case down but due to shortage of staff, they will not be able to come to visit

My wife put her purse beside her, on the same chair that she was sitting on. Exactly one minute later, she was looking for my Kindle and noticed her purse was missing.

The UK is often seen as the pinnacle of the first world. This is a story of how Indian tourists were looted of their identity, in the city of London in 2023.

@mogverse I’m hoping the temperature dips a little in the coming week here in Kolkata. So it could (🤞) be around 16 degrees in the evening. A light jacket/sweater would suffice!

It’s heartbreaking to have to switch on the fan while it’s still January.
