On hiring Full Stack Developers

Dear recruiters,

if you are looking for:

– Java, Python, PHP

– React, Angular

– PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB

– AWS, S3, EC2, ECS, EKS

– *nix system administration

– Git and CI with TDD

– Docker, Kubernetes

That’s not a Full Stack Developer.

That’s an entire IT department.

Yours truly

On accepting people as is

I think the hardest thing for anyone is accepting that other people are as real as you are. That’s it. Not using them as tools, not using them as examples or things to make yourself feel better or things to get over or under.

On being unable to forget

रातें देंगी बता, नीदों में तेरी ही बात है
भूलूँ कैसे तुझे? तू तो ख़यालों में साथ है

raatein dengi bata, neendon mein teri hi baat hai
bhooloon kaise tujhe, tu to khayaalon mein saath hai

Song – Bekhayali
