One of the ways of increasing your visibility as a programmer is to maintain a public github account. There was an anecdote shared at #CASS2018 where person was hired w/o an interview because of the content of their github profile. #EnggEduMythBusting

Prof. @SaritaAdve: How do we get other computer scientists to participate in hardware/software co-design? Hennessy: Tell your software colleagues they’ve had a free ride for 30 years! It’s time to collaborate. #isca18

A snake caught in the act! This fossil found in #Gujarat is 67 million years old and captures a snake trying to swallow a baby dinosaur. The snake was buried in a mudslide and fossilized.
