I was too lazy to write blog post for a long time. To break my lazy streak, here is something I wanted to write and procrastinated for at-least 6 months.

This is something I’ve started in Jan ‘15. This is to practice a habit of keeping a log of stuff I do which took me a lot of time to figure out myself (may be I’m not efficient?).

It is no surprise that you know about Pixar if you are even remotely knew Steve Jobs and his history. And you definitely heard about Pixar’s movies Toy story,  Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Up & more.

I had my one-on-one meeting for 2012-13 appraisal this week. I was disappointed with the feedback given to me. Well, I have been _work_ing for very long time, and I know if you are not hurt then it is not an appraisal.
We received a lo..ong email from my manager couple of days before the one-on-one meeting, explaining his expectations from resources. A week after we submitted our self appraisal. Though unofficial first rule of appraisal is not to talk about appraisal, I couldn’t help myself from posting this.

TDD (Test Driven Development) was introduced to me around 2006 with PHPUnit. As a naive, I couldn’t see the benefits, eg., I saw the pattern of code has been updated very often (growing organically) and frequent failing test. I was like, Why should I write unit test to test my own code? with the same data I used for manual testing? As they say I was seeing the forest for the trees. I failed to realize the failing test is actually the benefit of practicing TDD.

Task management app with little twist. Yep, Dug instead of clippy while nagging.

Idea is to log all our project ideas similar to logging notes in nvALT. This app runs in the background and randomly nag you to split a one line task you had logged earlier to multiple small tasks.

Wish you all a very happy new year!

It is 2013, another chance for us/me to start a new beginning. I believed in Mayan so much, I never had a plan post 20th Dec 2012 :)
