Candost's Blog

Candost

I used to think that reading would make me wise. One day, ten pages before finishing a book, I realized that I had read that same book before. At that point, my perspective on reading and, therefore, my life had changed. Now, I don’t care how many books I read; I take many notes, connect dots, and share what I’ve found on my blog and newsletter. I’m interested in many things at the same time (I’m a multipotentialite). On this blog, you’ll find me talking to about multiple aspects of life like leadership, software engineering, philosophy, psychology, software architecture & design, urban & industrial design, exercising, finance, Formula1 Racing, eating healthy, and many more. I’m a software engineering manager; that’s my current job. At home, I’m a writer and an avid reader. I rarely watch TV, movies or TV series. I don’t have any social media account (except Mastodon where I have automated posting of my new articles). Hence, I often miss the popular culture references in conversations. That’s alright. I don’t have FOMO; I embrace JOMO. I rarely read fictional books.

When a new manager joins the team, team members often approach with suspicion. Accepting someone from outside as a new leader or supervisor is complicated. It depends on how well the previous manager was and how experienced the new leader is. However, if the new manager doesn't know the domain and the work, it...

Software deployment is one of the last but essential steps of the software development lifecycle. All planning, designing, coding, testing, and teamwork end up with deployment. Make it right; it's smooth and exciting. All the effort pays off. Make it wrong; disaster awaits: downtime and cluttered data are...
Hello friend! I hope you and everyone you care about are doing well and healthy. This first issue brings immense excitement. Putting myself in front of many people is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Even though I’m a bit an extrovert, it still frightens and excites me every time I start a live session,...
