Random Thought (Sept 04, 2022)
এলাকার আন্ডার কনস্ট্রাকশন বিল্ডিংয়ের নিচে বসে আছি। আসলে প্রায় ৪০ মিনিট আগে খাবার অর্ডার দিয়েছিলাম তাই বসা। কার্টের ভদ্রলোক বলেছিলেন ২০ মিনিট লাগবে। সামনে আর কোনো কাস্টমার নাই। তবুও কিছু বলতে পারছিনা কারণ উনি প্রায় ৪০ মিনিট ধরেই রান্না করছেন আমার সামনে।পাশেই দুইটা কুকুর ঘুমায়ে ছিল। বাচ্চা কুকুরটা একটু আগে ঘুম থেকে উঠে আমাকে দেখে…

Rainmakers
“Rainmakers generate revenue by making asks. They ask for donations. They ask for contracts. They ask for deals. They ask for opportunities. They ask to meet with leaders or speak to them over the phone. They ask for publicity. They come up with ideas and ask for a few minutes of your time to pitch…

একবার কাটলে কেন তিন-চারটা শিলাই লাগে?
আমার আম্মা তো একবার শিলাই করলেই কাপড় আর ছিড়েনা! I used to have a big confusion when people say that they had 3 stitches or 5 stitches in a cut. Made no sense. It’s one cut. Why would you be so clumsy that you need to stitch it five times? Turns out – medical stitches…

Hi, what are you doing these days?
If you have an organization, initiative, or skill that you believe I should promote, then please do let me know. I would love to know more about what you do, and maybe shout out a little for you too! I believe that as a friend, you deserve this much from me, and shouldn’t have to…

How good do you think you are at what you do? – Because it matters more than you think it does.
The classic Dunning-Kruger finding: People who perform worst on a task are supremely overconfident in their ability to perform that task. But that’s not the problem. The first rule of the Dunning-Kruger club is that you don’t know you’re a member of the Dunning-Kruger club. And that’s the real problem.

Defining stuff outside a class – the cool Dartlang Feature
Coming from a java background, I think I had it hammered into my brain that we must stuff every variable or function inside a class. Partially because it makes us think that this OOP Paradigm is the mother of all paradigms, or maybe just because there is no other way to handle this. But sometimes,…

The very model of a modern Major General
Initially, I came across this video while researching for a thesis on Music. Strange world, I know. But I think you should listen to this. And in your free time, read the comment that was below it too: I am the very model of a modern office manager though I admit that title is a…

Have you heard of Passive Haptic Learning?
We have all heard of how haptic feedback is good for the brain. But have we really explored the world that it opens up?

Did you know that .net isn’t as limited as you think?
I learned today, that provided a few libraries, and some quirks – you can actually communicate between .net and your Java code. Now, this might sound stupid, but I also learned that .net does not restrict you to a single language. It sort of works as an API that may be accessed regardless of whether…

lovelyShit: Using Gulp-JS yet?
To be honest, I am fairly new to JS automations. A year ago, I used to imagine that Gulp JS is all about automating complicated tasks – until I realized that it is way more than that. Gulp can automate most tasks, and you can define tasks as anything between: Take a file, do…

lovelyShit: Life Is Beautiful (1997)
There are good movies. There are great movies. Somewhere around a thousand points above them lies Life is Beautiful.

The Palihapitiya Ideals
While it is over 56 minutes and crosses the average attention-span – his insight is actually a really great life advice that I would suggest you to watch; maybe over 3 dinners instead of that one episode of The Good Place or The Shannara Chronicles, if that makes it more appealing. As a short note,…

lovelyShit: The curious case of Irani’s Tata Steel Downsizing
What would you do when faced with loss at your company? Downsize and get rid of employees that aren’t too useful? Well, Dr. J J Irani thought differently – and on a fine morning, his downsizing offer came about: Workers under age 40 would be guaranteed their full salary for the rest of their working…
