How I dealt with burn out?

A month ago I was constantly feeling stressed out, tired and not getting proper sleep. To put it simply I got burned out. The interesting thing is it is not because of my official work pressure. Currently, I am working with a cool client, we are delivering the features on time and the team is friendly…I have nothing to complain about my official work. So I thought (and tweeted) it might be because of the things I do in addition to my regular job.

Few Things I learned in the HardWay in 15 years of my career

I started my career as a Java developer in 2006, and it is almost 15 years that I have been continuing as a software developer. Along the way I have experienced some amazing things, and a lot of shitty things as well. As I am not a super smart person by birth I ended up learning many things in the HardWay. In this article I would like to share some of my learnings.

My 2020 year review and plans for 2021

I would like to share how was my year 2020 and what I am planning to do in 2021. As we all know 2020 was a rough year due to COVID-19, lockdown and all, but 2020 is a good year for me in many ways. It used to take minimum 2 to 3 hours of daily commute for office, now that I have been working from home I am able to use that time for other activities.

My proud moment as a mentor

As software developers, most of us implicitly assume gaining strong technical skills might make us successful. Many of us assume being good at cutting edge technologies, mastering keyboard shortcuts, being able to work on front-end, back-end and infrastructure etc etc will make us successful in our careers. Yes, the above mentioned skills definitely help, but just being good at tech skills might not make us successful. There is more to it.
