If you are going through midlife crisis or stagnant career Remember this The friends and family in your life don’t need a superstar CXO, tech lead, managing director. They need someone real, present, and fully invested in them, just as much as they are invested in you.

I'm far more ready to hire a so-called "dehati" who is eager to learn and upskill themselves than a brilliant asshole. Even if the slower growth person doesn't work out, they will just be a problem for themselves. The brilliant asshole has the capability to be a problem for the entire team. No way I'm risking that.

Google's move to stop catering to the every whim and priority of pampered wannabe activists was the final nail in the coffin of "bring your whole self to work". Please don't. Bring your work self to work, save the rest for yourself and after hours. thefp.com/p/when-silicon-val…

Do you like hacking/debugging linux, docker, k8s, ecs and so on? DM me with a small intro or upload your resume to recruit.svs.io and reference this tweet. This is not a standard devops role. If you've ever dreamed of working at Hashicorp you'll be a good fit. No this is not for Hashicorp, just to be clear, but it's a sweet job nonetheless. And if this isn't you, pls RT.

Anyone who shouts at colleagues/team members has no business being a leader. And no business being in a corporate set up. Do not normalise shouting in organisations. If you get shouted at, call it out Just because 20 years back, it was glorified in many orgs by many leaders don’t make it right Be aggressive, not rude. Be aggressive with action, not voice

A sad day Danny Kahneman, 1934-2024 Most people knew him as a thinker. I knew him as a person.

I am interested in meeting some young software engineers (2-6 years experience) - who are specially good at platform engineering. Who should I meet in Singapore? It’s possible that they may end up working on something very interesting. Retweet please. #Stealth

I read news every week about layoffs and downturn. In reality, i am not seeing while hiring new talent. Cash salary asks are still unreasonable and candidates quote similar offers. Salary asks don't add up in P&L. Not surprised with losses in startups.

Learned the hard way, anxiety does not solve problems, and neither does anger or frustration. So instead of getting anxious, even if it's last minute, let's put our best effort, to solve the issue.

One of the biggest drivers of success is the belief that you can figure it out as you go along. Some obstacles can't be overcome before you start. Start small and show up every day.

Ownership matters, makes you feel significant and useful. What ever you do, do it as if you own it. So own and drive something, and if it’s not there, then go find it, hunt the ownership initiatives, make it happen. Life is too short to just cruise or to be a pillion 👍🏼

The people that don't show up at the office will end up working for the people that do.

I have been using Jodo to pay my child's education fees and would definitely recommend fellow parents to use Jodo. Congratulations to them on their Series A funding.#Feespaid via @jodo_in
