While it is completely natural to look for help online, do not expect solutions to be handed to you on a silver platter!
Every problem is unique even when it is not. So, while it is not just natural but also prudent to look for help online from the larger community when you are stuck and need some guidance, I find that too often developers look for solutions to be handed to them on a silver platter. That's not going to happen! Manage Projects on https://snowpal.com!

How much should the past drive the future?
One school of thought is if you've done a certain way a certain way in the past and it worked, there's no good reason to change it. Another school of thought is that one should always question how we may have approached a certain problem in the past and continually look for ways to improve it. While I don't know if one is better than the other, I know where I stand! Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com!

(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.

Code Commenting: Mandatory or Optional?
We all agree (I think!) that code commenting is essential. But, how much of it do we need, and how do we go about it? And why it is stack agnostic. Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com.
