(Tech Lightyear Series) Software Development in under 100 seconds
Of the many pieces of (constructive) feedback I've received over the years (in both personal & professional life), one that has been a common occurrence is "Can you be more succinct?". And while I've always tried to do that (and also want to believe I've made some good strides in that aspect), I realize I've ways to go. So, here is another attempt (read: challenge) at getting closer to that finish line. I'll be doing a series that I've ambitiously named Tech Lightyear (as in, how much can we learn if we traveled at the speed of light!). And the requirement I've set myself is: no more than 90-100 seconds, tops. Whatever I want to say, that's how long I get. And we shall see how goes! Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com.
