“Design and
programming are human activities; forget that and all is lost.”
The writers of an Extreme
Programming guide pay tribute to a quote by Bjarne Stroustrup, 1991 the person who gave C++ to the world.
“One may not be Roger
Federer, but one can always strive to be Lleyton Hewitt.”
It’s great if you are a natural talent, but being the best us
we can be is under our control.
BLAST FROM THE PAST
“If Shahid Afridi is
18, then I’m 24.”
Cricket commentator Geoffrey
Boycott isn’t foolish enough take Shahid Afridi’s age at face value.
Thanks to Nikhil ‘Chops’
Anand for this cheeky quote.
APP OF THE WEEK
Well, I thought of sharing some of the apps/tools I use both
at work and at home and here we go.
.
If you were expecting a mobile app backed by the cloud, I
don’t blame you. But I thought of starting with a simple, but awesome app for
Windows. It’s a must have for noting down all your to-does and avoid pasting
post-it notes all over your workstation.
Thanks to Deepak
for the suggestion. WORD OF THE WEEK.
Oh yeah, sharing new words we learn isn't a bad idea either, isn't it?
Pivot:
You can google for the usual definitions of this word. But my favorite is the one in the start-up context by
Eric Ries - "Pivot is a change is strategy, but not a change in vision." But it's being used way too often and should have probably been voted as one of the words of the year in 2011.
Usage Example: "If you have been reading my posts or you bother scrolling down to the older posts, you'd know that I pivoted."
:)
