Gentle reminder that vaccination is given from taxpayers' money. Its not a "free" gift from state or centre. They just happen to be the ones deciding on behalf of your money. When you withdraw money from bank, the teller doesn't say - Hey, take some free cash from me.

Over the last many years, I took 100+ interviews for product/startup roles from APM to CPO. These are 7 basic mistakes that I've seen people make in pressure of an interview and these can be easily avoided -.

Unpopular hiring opinion -. Instead of hunting for rockstar engineers, designers, PMs, business folks prioritise hiring hungry people with strong potential and help them become rockstars at your company.

Happy Father's Day. I lost my papa in January after a long and painful fight with cancer. Didn't feel comfortable writing about it yet. We did all we could running around in hospitals in 2020 trying to save him from covid and cancer. But he succumbed post surgery.

Curbing the urge to start solving when people share their problems is one skill that few have. Mostly, people just want to vent. Giving them solutions isn't always the best way to listen. Took me years to understand this.🤦.

As a hands-off CEO, if you keep asking - "Can we do more stories/features/code this week" or "Can we reach our deadline faster", without understanding how the team operates, and why they give the timelines, this is what they hear -. 1. The seasoned ones think - "Hmm, need to.

Lately a lot of 15-22 yr old followed me (they put in bio). Folks,. 1. You're much smarter than 15-20 yr olds 2 decades back. 2. You have an insanely better internet. Use it wisely. Learn and create. 3. Don't doubt yourself or compare to oldies. You'll build a career much faster.
