Restarting a Project from Scratch !

Why Programmers Want to Start Over Have you ever felt the urge to scrap your code and rewrite it from scratch? If so, you’re not alone. Many programmers have this temptation, and there’s a hidden reason behind it. The reason is not that the old code is bad, but that it’s hard to understand. There’s a fundamental principle of programming that explains this: Reading code is harder than writing it. This is why reusing code is so challenging. This is why every developer on your team has their own favourite way of splitting strings into arrays. They create their own function because it’s more enjoyable and simpler than learning how the existing one works.

Road construction in Goa - A nightmare for commuters

I have been commuting from Margao to Bambolim for work every day, and I have to say that the road construction that is going on near Verna is driving me crazy. It has been four days since they started digging up the road, but I don’t see any progress. What’s worse, they seem to have no regard for the peak hours of traffic on that route. They start their work at around 9:30 am and continue till late evening, causing massive jams and delays for everyone. ...

Hack Proof Encryption ? read on…

The point of using encryption and other cryptographic methods isn’t to create a 100-percent foolproof, uncrackable system. The only positively unhackable system is a computer that’s turned off, and even that isn’t a guarantee because someone might be able to physically walk up to it, turn it on, and hack it. The point of all this work is to make it so difficult to get at sensitive data that hackers don’t even try, or they move on after a few failed attempts.

Too Much Change?

Dealing with Change …my friend told me we were going through too many changes in our lives. I felt overwhelmed and confused by his words. So I did something silly and reverted my fb profile picture to an old one. I guess I was trying to hold on to something familiar and stable. But I don’t think that really helped me cope with change. Maybe I need to find a better way to embrace it.

Go Programming Language - What's the Deal?

Google came up with a new programming language called Go, which is supposed to be super fast and awesome and stuff. But do we really need another language? I mean, come on. It’s hard enough to keep up with the ones we already have. Go has some cool things going on, like goroutines, channels and interfaces. But it also has some weird things, like no generics, no exceptions and no inheritance. So it’s not for everyone. ...
