@ku1deep @Anactofletting wasn’t it always a means to an end? nobody sold software, they sold a solution to a problem. s/w was just an enabler

Lesson learnt; stay away from MMT @makemytripcare

[Tanmay Madaan @tanmaymad]

Used MMT Taxi for the first time and had a such a horrible experience, the driver arrived 40mins late; broke my luggage handle while keeping it in the car; kept taking multiple stops on the way even though I told him I am late for my train. @makemytripcare

[Tanmay Madaan @tanmaymad]

I reached destination 1h 15m late; missed my train, had to arrange alternate bus booking (4hr in train vs 8hr in bus)

When raised a complaint, all I got it “here’s your refund of 200rs, chat closed”

Bro that refund won’t even cover my travel from railway station to bus stand

the Domlur - Indiranagar footpath went from literally unwalkable to pristine and pedestrian-friendly in mere days!

Bengaluru is setting an example for the rest of India on expedient public infra restoration

@volklub paaji - have a car with prefitted sunshades for the backseat, which got challaned near Doraha on the way to Khanna.

The challan says "Unauthorised use of sun film / Tinted Glasses / curtain"

But we don't have any tints applied. How should we proceed?

GoKwik is building a nice ecosystem around Shopify.

Checkout.
Cart.
Return prime.
Kwikpass

And probably some tools they are building and m not aware about.

I hope they hire me as their twitter influencer and start giving me some services for free too.

I once saw a codebase at a pretty large company with 100% test coverage, but the system was still broken.

Many big companies obsess over unit tests, and most of them chase the vanity metric of test coverage as an indicator of system stability. The obsession with hitting that 100% coverage mark leads to engineers wasting countless hours writing trivial test cases.

I am not saying, to not write tests at all. Tests are essential and you need to write the ones that matter, the tests that catch regressions, the tests that ensure the core functionality remains intact, and the tests that keep the system stable.

I prefer writing integration tests because they ensure that my system is stable from the outside and that the required user flows are working fine. I do write unit tests, but only for critical business logic and complex internal flows and edge cases.

Five pieces of code that I write unit and integration tests for are

1. for functionality that directly impacts the user experience
2. for the system's core business logic
3. for code that gets invoked frequently
4. for code that handles sensitive data
5. for code that changes frequently

So, when you write the next set of tests ask yourself, your lead, and your manager the tough question - "why?"

@abhnvx @Theshashank_p Is it the Indiranagar one at Bombay Shirt Co?

[Tanmay Madaan @tanmaymad]

@abhnvx @Theshashank_p Yo where is this in BLR?

i temporarily deleted my ig account for about 4 months until curiosity got the better of me today and i wanted to know what my acquaintances and frenemies were up to (im human and flawed). ofc the experience was disappointing. it’s only when you exit a place and re-enter it after some time do you see the complete and utter malaise and misery and status games people you know are stuck in. in some ways i think i wanted to feel a sense of superiority that i had matured and my peers had not, but really i was left feeling embarrassed and shamed that i had violated my inner sanctity. i’ve now permanently deleted my account. feels good.
