Work-Life Week 2 and 3 Log. October 23, 2014. October 26, 2014. And here it goes again, it’s Deepawali day (India’s biggest festival, also called festival of lights), and I finally managed to carve out time to log the last stage of my experiment. I managed to take 3 days easy, for my personal use, out of 11 – which is not bad. Managed to finish off major code piece, and was able to travel too (official though ;-) without letting the day-job’s responsibilities suffer. The distribution was as follows:.

The Dreaded Tele-Screen – 0x1
https://vijayants.com/2012/03/05/the-dreaded-tele-screen-formula
March 5, 2012. October 5, 2012. Appears so true while interviewing a prospective team member – but of course, there are other times too when you feel it materializing, especially during the coffee/lunch breaks etc. A vast majority of interviewers unknowingly recommend a candidate that is closest to them in aptitude and attitude. During the last couple of years I’ve put the theory of FEPS. Almost as effective as making them write the code in front… May be better. Average time for candidates to write the s...

Our XYZ is Equivalent to Principal in Other Companies… – 0x1

Our XYZ is Equivalent to Principal in Other Companies…. July 13, 2014. July 13, 2014. How many of us have heard this, and fumed over… In one breath, people generalise the myth that Indians are after designations more than any other geography, in the next, no one wants to play out of the box and start talking about pure talent (and designation pay being just the aftereffects thereof.). Wonder if the days of minimum/standard wages for formal sectors have yet arrived in India. Disclaimer: Above has been col...

Little Big Dreams (and of 4 equals 170). January 29, 2011. October 25, 2011. The street lights coming up during twilight made the effect of setting sun even more surreal than ignorantly blissful souls are sometimes prone to believe. Cars, buses and bikes whizzing past told a different story though, that of a week-day still alive with people some like myself, returning home, some in a mad rush to report to their work-benches on time. I reckon this must have been that girl’s first real purchase on her own&...

January 4, 2012. February 26, 2012. A Lesson from a Great Rival. Australian media also leaves no stone unturned in helping home team to score a few psychological points over the Indians, which earlier (read 15 years ago) was a reserve of Poms and the Springboks (err. Proteas). 100 100 and the Bloody Binary Dilemma. Will be / won’t be this time). How many times do we see ourselves picking up and licking our wounds from a terrible defeat in the starter? Watching the matches so far these are the leadership ...

Archive for February 2008. When Everyone Writes Software. Leave a comment ». There is a great article. In the New York Times today with Charles Simonyi about intentional programming. He wants to overthrow conventional coding for something he calls intentional programming, in which programmers would talk to machines as little as possible. Instead, they would concentrate on capturing the intentions of computer users. Also, check out this great interview. February 29, 2008 at 4:02 pm. Ignite was a blast!
