Back in my college days, I had no idea what I wanted to do, so I chose to pursue Chartered Accountancy Course, which focuses on finance, accounting and taxation. It just seemed right at that time as everyone around me was doing the same, so I decided to become a sheep and follow along.

I am on a ship, at the center of the sea
All I see is water, it’s all around me

On the lands of the andaman, sitting on a remote beach.
A little kid playing with the sea-sand caught my attention.

I know you are long gone.
I know you won’t come along.
I know I have been there too long.
I know you have got your groove on.
But tell me, do we ever really move on?
Or it’s just the mask we put on?

Software developers create computer programs and solve technical problems using their creativity, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills. They are very straightforward, logical, and sometimes eccentric thinkers.

I own a smartphone.
But my phone is without a camera.

Debugging is quite a common task in programming. You code something, and it does not work as expected. You coded it, so you know what the expected behavior should look like. It gives you an error message as well, with some information about the error. You read the error, try to make some meaning of it, search it on Google, look at Stack Overflow, read the docs, and ask your dev friends or a random developer online for help. And that’s how you usually find a solution.

More often than not, we try to put a leash on people we love and force them to do what makes us happy, what saves us from embarrassment, and what keeps our pride alive. We tell them we love them and we know what’s right for them. But, do we? Is it really love? or ownership, if we are making decisions for someone else based on what benefits us.

This post is not about software, technology, or any interesting story. If you are reading for something interesting, skip it. This post is just a collection of some of my random thoughts about life, love, relationships, society, and pain. I am not even sure what I am going to write. I will probably ramble a lot.

We all love comics. Comic strips does not intimidate struggling readers with an overwhelming page of text. With easy-to-read short sentences and visual cues, comics are much more engaging than a novel or a short story.

Internet is a term we are all aware of. We are using the internet every single day of our current modern life. You have access to whatever information you desire. Everything is perfect, then why do I say it sucks?

A few days back I posted Let’s talk about failures, where I talked about the importance of sharing failures out in the open. It received a good response and some people told me they liked the idea. It got me thinking if people are liking this idea, why is it not a real thing yet. Is there any existing platform where I can create a resume of failure and share it publically?

When you started to use the internet google search is probably the first thing you learned. What is it to learn about a super simple website with only one input box to enter your query and a search button to find any information you may want? Everyone knows how to Google, but very few know how to search on google efficiently and get the results quicker.

Mess-ups. Mistakes. Blunders. Screw-ups. Failures. We all experience them in various forms. The big. The small. The duh why did I do that? Of all the things in the world to have a conversation about, failure seems an odd choice.

In part one, we learned that you already know how to code and probably do it every day. You only need to learn the syntax of the programming language you choose to code in.

You probably think the title is clickbait, but it’s not. Just read along, and I will prove it in the next few minutes.

ConfluxBot was launched as a SaaS (software as a service) product in late 2018. There was no other software available in the market similar to ConfluxBot, and I knew it had the potential to become my hero product.
