- The automatic gear shift of my car Tata Nano XTA is bricked. My local mechanic at Carz Tec made it worse. Today, I managed to send it to the nearby Tata Service Center Adishakti Cars using TVS Roadside Assistant service.
- The first person TVS Roadside Assistant assigned the ticket didn’t show up at my place. He would never tell me the time. He supposed to come at 5pm. But at 11:30pm he was still 20 km away but claiming to be at the shared location😠. Finally they arranged someone who can read the map.
- Install a tow hook in your car and/or find out where it is. Also keep a small cable with you.
- I still don’t have experience with Adishakti Cars. Let’s see how it goes.
- I found BBC Radio 4 – In Our Time podcast. So far, I am really enjoying it. I listened to a few old podcasts. Work in 20th century was excellent. I like the soft spoken host and his style. He invites a few experts to the studio and discuss a grand theme with them. The town square of European and American public discourse seem to be so vastly different. While intellectuals seems to be more common in Europian public discussions, no one seems to give a shit about what they think in the USA! By no mean, I mean to suggest that it a bad or a good thing.
- When you onboard a new member to your team, how long does it take for them to become productive? Especially when they are not familiar with tooling. I suspect the negative compounding effect to be very strong. They will spend a lot of time dealing with papercuts from not knowing tools, frameworks and possessing tribal knowledge of the codebase. Also the story of the codebase is not an easy thing to acquire.
