- My second round at Fortanix was a failure!
- It was a medium leetcode question to be solved inside a browser. Yes, a leetcode for senior roles and that too in a browser! I mostly use vim with a buttload of plugins. Maybe I should start asking if leedcode in browser would be used for evaluation and just say no.
- Review article of a very interesting book. Here is a mindmap from Reddit.
- An old friend, Somya Mani and her husband John, came to visit Monday morning. Flight from Vienna to Bengaluru took almost half day and both of them super tired. Both slept after having breakfast. I got busy with office meeting and they went to their hotel. We may have dinner sometimes this week.
- The engineering workflow that I designed for my current employer might get adopted this week. One of the founders is very interested in it and we refined it over the weekend. Tomorrow I need to sell it to the team. Ideally I should practice the presentation. I will if I get some time in the morning before I drop Ookie to the day care.
- Many of the street lights in my neighborhood don’t have a proper switch. I’d loved a light sensor based but a manual one is also fine since labor is cheap. But the current way is monumentally bad and pretty dangerous.Â
- I opened account on to learn trading! My niece has been sending me screenshots of how much he is making every day. I made 2500 in half an hour from 10k investment and lost 8k next day. This platform requires constant attention which I don’t have. I’ll probably learn a few more things with very little amount of money and move on. Its not for me. It is pretty addictive though.
