Nico Hulkenberg made it to his first podium today after 239 race starts. The Hulk always had it in him. Amazed how long some drivers wait patiently for this moment. Endurance is key ! #f1
Reading sci-fi keep me sane. Gonna start some Indian author sci-fi this week - The City Inside - by Samit Basu.
Deep work has been a mountain for me to conquer in my career. I finally figured out that it requires a lot of mental clarity on priorities, a bit of meditation, and self interest to be consistent at deep work habits.
The habit of questioning everything and learning every concept in-depth is absent in most careers. People tread on the periphery only to see if that’s enough to do their jobs. But those who dwell deep into technical details are the ones who are truly worth having in your team.
Heartfelt, and deserves total respect. Sometimes fans can be cruel, but what a way to deal with the criticism by #MarcusRashford theplayerstribune.com/posts/…
The Garnacho goal reminds everyone of Rooney's overhead kick, one for the posters for sure. But the best takeaway from the #EVEMUN match was the really impressive debut of @KobbeMainoo, here's hoping he will bring a change of luck.
I just published The Power of Servant Leadership: Leading with Compassion and Empathy link.medium.com/KHqG3lwtBEb

Yeah, so I helped the Excel team with this. Excited that it's out! techcommunity.microsoft.com/…
Neymar heads to Saudi pro league too. Gotta start watching the league seriously now. Meanwhile Inter Miami CF have started a dream run under Messi’s leadership. Should I watch MLS too now ? What a weird football season this is going to be !

You cannot fail a sprint. Sprints cannot fail.
The purpose of a sprint is to produce management data. A sprint that delivers zero stories has produced very important and useful data for managers.
I love reading stories published in SciFi magazines. They carry so much imagination stuffed into a tiny story. Amazing ! Try reading one of the latest I loved : Cheaper to Replace by Marie Vibbert clarkesworldmagazine.com/vib…
So true. I did burnout multiple times at the start of my career. Wanted to do everything and learn anything new I see. This advice was needed back then, to help me organise my efforts and time smartly.
"When you’re just starting out in your career, each task you’re assigned may feel equally important. But putting 110% into every item on your to-do list is a recipe for burnout." hbr.org/2023/06/how-to-stay-…

A recipe for massive technical debt: 📉
🚫 Throw a large number of developers at an empty project...and tell them to hurry.
🚫 Don't bother with communication, planning, or collaboration. We don't have time for that.
🚫 Give them no clear technical guidelines or direction. Assume they'll figure it out.
🚫 Skip types. Assume we can move faster in a "dynamic, fast-paced environment".
🚫 Ignore key aspects of quality like security, performance, accessibility, readability, and reuse. Assume we can tack those on at the end.
🚫 Skip reviews / pairing. Assume whatever everyone writes is fine.
🚫 Don’t configure CI, source control, testing, formatting, or linting up front. Assume we’ll do these things later.
Good luck.🤞
Arsenal FC have built a strong squad and are decent contenders for the title fight. The squad is impressive with Havertz and Rice. And we have the likes of Troussard who will be gunning to make a mark. Arteta is going to have yet another successful year with these smart choices.
