A new era

 I am simply amazed at how quickly I was able to convert my ideas to code and deploy it within hours using the help of Cursor. It was using Sonnet as the model. I feel like this is such an inflection point in my career and the moves we make as software engineers is going to be crucial in leading us upwards or towards obscurity. My boss gives the analogy of game engines and how before their advent, video game makers had to write their own engines. After game engines were commoditized, the bar went up for the quality of games. Similarly, boilerplate code is now commoditized and the bar is going to be raised for writing clean, maintainable software as will it be for the quality and capabilities of software from the end-user's perspective.

Nano,Petro,Traffic... You get the idea?

Yes one preach-max post.But seriously guys read it and consider it. Hoping comments follow. The recent hike in petrol prices would have come as a big blow for most people.It sure will leave a huge hole in every pocket. I dont follow the oil economy or the inflation-fighting steps taken by the government but what I do realize is one thing.There sure is an upside to this. Ok before you jump and try reading the last para to see the tone and proceed to comment, let me assure you .I would be as happy as anybody else if prices of so many things fell.What I want you to do is understand a little observation I made. Usually, when I have some place to go in namma Bengalooru ,there would be ideally 2 choices - the bus or my own transport (ideally because the LL is still in the waiting :( . ). I am quite sure this thought process goes on in most peoples minds.They would think about the availability of buses to that place and their regularity.They would then find out the distance they would be ...

Yesterday

Kaalia the crow,Suppandi,Tantri The Mantri,Kapish and the other Tinkle characters. Math 100 page homeworks. Mom getting my shoes polished and ready. Trying to be tall enough to unbolt the door. Fist Blow exchanges with sis. Mickey-Mouse tiffin boxes and Donald Duck water bottles. Just 'half' a ticket for a bus ride. Forming circles on the playground for lunch. Bated breath to catch the 2 second 'car scene' involving Drew Barrimore in Charlie's Angels. Little Classroom Crushes. Horrendous Hindi Dohas. Enid-Blyton Adventures. 'Just Mohabbat' on Sony. Frantic 'chalkifying' the white canvas shoes. Rubberbands to hold socks up during inspections. 'Kings' with napkin-ball after lunch. 4-in-1 family rides on our very own 'Allwyn Pushpak'. Geography Map completions. Tazos and Trump Cards and tattoos and what not! Badge Fight with classmates. 'Son-Pari' on Star Plus. The cursive-Handwriting improvement nightmare. Pad-Cricket after Exam...

Kyunki...

No matter how many times they have featured on 'Things I Hate The Most' on Slam-Books and personality questionnaires, I have always been awed by the rich variety of 'saas-bahu' teleserials aired during prime-time. Why? Here is ,in no way an exhaustive list of their achievements( Due to obvious reasons I consider all the saas-bahu dramas to be a single identity) : The net worth of the jewellery in one scene overtakes the GDP of Eritrea. The costumes worn by a single person on one show beats the lifetime wardrobe of an average, sane mortal. The Bindis of a lucky select compete in size with Kosovo. The only set-up , fiction,non-fiction or whatever, where an older person plays the daughter if not grand-daughter of the younger one. The wiliness of the average bahu puts to shame even the most dangerous KGB spy. The make-up used for one complete episode can 'decolorize' entire Africa. The only family probably in the history of time to have 8 generations in one ...
