Bar Camp Bangalore --- Come bar bar

Bar Camp!! Sadly as the name suggests its nothing to do with the liquor bar...but rather it gives you an high of a different kind. You actually get to rub the shoulders with the next big things of the tech world. For a techocrastic person like me thats enough. It was an awesome place to be in for a perfect weekend. And believe me guys I actually lived my college time. It the same atmosphere..similar people..and people who have taken the big step forward. Well this being a collectives edition had people with interest in similar topics sitting together wherever they found place...audi, classroom, corridor, hallway, lawn or the amphitheater. It was like, You want it you have it. This time had a lot of insights into a lot of topics that I attended. A full post on each thought of mine is on the way. So watch out.

I being in a transition from one job to another went there with an open mind. I was interested in startups and some new stuff that others are into. And I was not disappointed. I wanted to know more about the blogging world and meet more Bloggers. Again I was not disapointed. Bonus for me were Biking(Cycling) and photography collectives. I met a lot of people and got new insights into "How the Boys do it". More on that and others in forthcoming posts. Thats it for now

My learnings at Google

I just quit Google after almost 7½ years. When I had joined Google in 2016 I was exploring to start up with a travel planning, sharing and booking platform. But then when I got the chance to join Google I told myself that I will stay for 3-4 years and learn how Google's culture makes it build products that people love, at scale. Also, their engineering culture was something I had heard a lot about and thought this is my best chance to learn about and implement it in my startup. But then I managed to overstay at Google for various reasons.  There are various posts talking about what is wrong about Google here , here and here . But I wanted to look at its positives and I hope companies adopt it rather than a toxic culture which is brewing everywhere. Here are a few things which stood out for me (in no particular order): 1. Blameless postmortems : Blameless postmortems are a powerful tool for learning from incidents and improving system reliability. The key aspects of it are   a. Foc

Top reasons why Tata Elxsi should be blacklisted

Well that a provoking first line, but then thats exactly what I have to say about this company. Tata Elxsi should be blacklisted, but wait a minute by whom? Well the software developers fraternity. Its a blood sucking corporation which is right documented in the documentary The Corporation . Ok why am I telling this after almost one year of leaving it. Well when the fact is that I have nothing to do with it. I have already let out my personal experience here , here and here . Well it was not just me as its obvious from the comments but then it was general feeling of my friends there. Well all I can talk about is friends because I dont know how each and every employee of Tata Elxsi felt. Anyways heres one more story about the kind of harassment and employee of Tata Elxsi might have to suffer . Though I had read it earlier but am blogging now about solely because I wanted to confirm the news being true. And sadly it is true. An employee was indeed made to resign. And indeed its legally

[March 24] Interesting Things I Learnt This Week

 1. Ultrasound becoming Utra small - How MEMS technology has miniaturized ultrasound imaging. It discusses the limitations of traditional ultrasound machines. These machines are bulky and require multiple probes. MEMS technology allows for the creation of a single probe that can image the entire body. This probe is small enough to fit in a lab coat pocket.  The article also details the technical aspects of MEMS transducers. My Take : Any and all technology is bound to get cheap and miniaturized over time with progress in science and technology. Utrasound is something which can be thought of a speaker and a mic in very layman terms. These are bound to get smaller over time and be more effective. But like any other tool, this can be misused and the reason for skewed male/female ratio in India can also be attributed to ultrasound. My worry is if this tech is available more widely and portable, it will further skew the gender ratios in India(and probably a lot of other countries). This pa
