Many are saying that TheLiverDoc is arrogant blah blah. If exposing pseudoscience and unproven old practices is arrogance, then India needs such arrogance to mainstream scientific thinking, at least for the purpose of educating people and promoting professional social reform.

For some godawful reason and against my better judgement, I feel like weighing in on the Liver Doc vs Vidit debate. It is hurtful for Vidit to have someone discredit his family online. Although, liver doc did not know say his father is a bad Ayurvedic migraine specialist, or

At some point in their career, devs forget they're "engineers" and start role-playing "Frontend Engineer", "Backend Engineer", etc. This is all programming. You can do this all. Doesn't mean you have to master it all. Be good at many things. Be an expert in a few.

I no longer see Kotlin Multiplatform as a risky bet. Instead, it evolved into the best long-term option for building Android and iOS apps together. Summed up my thoughts about KMP in this post: techyourchance.com/kotlin-multipl…

A coroutine can only be cancelled when it gets suspended, so blocking or CPU-intensive operations often need a special attention to support cancellation.

Interesting but not surprising to me. The caveats 1) these are some of the most skilled software developers in the world, and AI helps them less than average devs 2) they are working on their own, huge codebases, so their brain beats the LLM on context

Bridges and flyovers are collapsing like dry leaves in a storm, one after another. And yet, some fool dares to boast about 'world-class infrastructure' built with taxpayers' hard-earned money? Who's accountable for this criminal negligence?

And this is why VCs won’t invest in the space. Absurd policy towards buses. And transportation in general. Rickshaw unions really think that their livelihoods are threatened by Rapido. It’s absurd. The pent up demand for transportation is order of magnitude higher than the

Nobody does 8 hours of deep, focused work a day. Most people peak for 2-3 hours at most. There is absolutely no point on forcing people work for 8 hours straight. They’ll simply end up pretending they do. Trust your people and let them find the best way to be productive.

There is no ‘honour’ in killing your child. It’s a dishonourable, depraved, criminal act and those supporting Deepak Yadav for killing his daughter are criminals too.

As someone who read far too many novels in college, I'd strongly advise against it. Read for pleasure, of course, but keep in mind it won't directly advance your career. The folks who truly focus on their studies during those four years get a significant head start in life - one

Please add Previews to your Composables. The fact that you don’t need to write XML now is not an excuse to not add previews. I know many devs were used to have layout previews always broken when working with XML, but that’s not a good reason either. You and your teammates will

If you want to develop an early morning creative routine, you’ve got to do it on the weekends too. Waking up late on the weekends resets all the work you did during the week to get in the habit of waking early. Habits are formed everyday.

Newsletter #222: Your Soft Skills Aren't Soft at All. Of course, soft skills matter, but which ones? In my opinion, every engineer should be better at these two: active listening and clear communication. I shared what I've learned about listening with intent and communicating

One of the most confusing comparison in Kotlin Coroutines is between CoroutineScope and coroutineScope. CoroutineScope is a function (fake constructor), that creates an instance of CoroutineScope, with context specified in argument. It also adds Job(), if there is no Job

You can test your entire Compose UI without ever launching an emulator. Headless. Fast. Deterministic. You can assert layout, semantics, and interactions in milliseconds. Still not the default for most teams. Why?

Tech communities have become more toxic than ever these days. Everyone can have their opinions but they shouldn’t force it.
