- I’ve been a little sick this whole week — a mild cold and occasional coughing. Running was a bit slow, and it took some effort to go out and run. Perhaps some flu.
- Almost everyone I knew from college has left or about to leave my neighborhood — for search of job, education, status, money or other foo and bars. Sometimes I wonder if there is a point anymore in investing time in people these days?! I wish I am wrong. I have cultivated a few good relationships with my neighbors. Making friends become harder and harder as you age. Looks like it is a universal problem in industrial part of our civilization — at least major newspapers often write articles about it.
- I am excited about what PHP has been doing lately. The language has added a few QoL improvements. Most recently the https://wiki.php.net/rfc/pipe-operator-v3.
- I am thinking of writing down what I learnt about hiring for a startup (in Indian context) in a blog post. A lot of advice I find on internet is not very effective in our style of society.
- I’ve been itching to pickup combinatorics — every problem requires a different trick, and the subject doesn’t require ten courses before making any progress. Like linear algebra, it is very computer friendly. One can do it a hobby or as profession.
- I plan to implement some routing algorithms for PCB routing to integrate into KiCAD. https://github.com/freerouting/freerouting the inspiration. Of course, it is in Rust with Python bindings generated using PyO3.
