If you're around Pathankot or in Dharamshala for the IPL and are stuck due to the current situation, I have a homestay in Dharamshala that can comfortably accommodate 10–15 people. Feel free to reach out. Please retweet so it reaches someone in need.

Did I see this right. The CEO of Zomato is hiring a Chief of Staff.

It's an *unpaid* position for all of the first year, where the applicants needs to pay 2M INR (about $24,000)

Tell me you are hiring someone who comes from money without telling me you are doing this.

So I signed up for YouTube premium and it comes with YouTube music.

I no longer need my Spotify sub right? YouTube music does the exact same thing as Spotify it seems?

This is out now: "What Every Developer Should Know About GPU Computing"
https://t.co/9xQibwqEoG

It took longer than anticipated but good things usually do take time. Big thanks to @msharmavikram for reviews and suggestions, his feedback added another level of depth.

GPUs are a very different beast, and as an outsider you will encounter a ton of new terms and concepts you have never heard about. This article won't make you an expert because for that you need to read a whole book or take a course on this topic. However, if you wanted to learn how do GPUs work and what distinguishes them from CPUs, then this article is for you.

Here's what you will learn:
- A high level comparison between CPU and GPU architectures
- A deeper look at the GPU compute and memory architecture
- How a kernel executes on the GPU
- Dynamic resource partitioning and Occupancy

I hope you enjoy it. I will try to share a summary here later.

Hi Friends, I need your HELP.

My technical books - System Design Interview Vol 1, Vol 2, and Machine Learning System Design Interview - are being illegally sold on Amazon .in (Amazon India).

I’ve been battling this issue for months. My publisher and I have filed dozens of copyright claims, conducted test purchases, and collected evidence - but the problem persists. I feel lost and helpless.

100% of my books sold on Amazon .in (Amazon India) are pirated copies. This means:
- More and more developers are receiving low-quality, pirated books
- The pirates profit off my hard work
- My books are getting hundreds of incorrect 1-star reviews due to piracy

The pirated books are linked to my Amazon listings, so reviews meant for the pirates end up on my product pages.

If you are in India, the books are now exclusively sold through Shroff Publishers.

You can help by:
- Sharing the post to spread awareness as widely as possible
- If you work at Amazon, please help escalate the issue

This issue means so much to me as an author. Thank you for reading and for your help.

Scrum is a cancer.

I've been writing software for 25 years, and nothing renders a software team useless like Scrum does.

Some anecdotes:

1. They tried to convince me that Poker is a planning tool, not a game.

2. If you want to be more efficient, you must add process, not remove it. They had us attending the "ceremonies," a fancy name for a buttload of meetings: stand-ups, groomings, planning, retrospectives, and Scrum of Scrums. We spent more time talking than doing.

3. We prohibited laptops in meetings. We had to stand. We passed a ball around to keep everyone paying attention.

4. We spent more time estimating story points than writing software. Story points measure complexity, not time, but we had to decide how many story points fit in a sprint.

5. I had to use t-shirt sizes to estimate software.

6. We measured how much it cost to deliver one story point and then wrote contracts where clients paid for a package of "500 story points."

7. Management lost it when they found that 500 story points in one project weren't the same as 500 story points on another project. We had many meetings to fix this.

8. Imagine having a manager, a scrum master, a product owner, and a tech lead. You had to answer to all of them and none simultaneously.

9. We paid people who told us whether we were "burning down points" fast enough. Weren't story points about complexity instead of time? Never mind.

I believe in Agile, but this ain't agile.

We brought professional Scrum trainers. We paid people from our team to get certified. We tried Scrum this way and that other way. We spent years doing it.

The result was always the same: It didn't work.

Scrum is a cancer that will eat your development team. Scrum is not for developers; it's another tool for managers to feel they are in control.

But the best about Scrum are those who look you in the eye and tell you: "If it doesn't work for you, you are doing it wrong. Scrum is anything that works for your team."

Sure it is.

Looks like ⁦Chidambaram⁩ is really going after Byjus.

Points raised:
1 - Why is it called edtech and not hardware?

2 - Why are salaries classified as capital expense and not operational expense?

3 - Call to open up Byju’s financial statements.
