Another interesting bit ā€” the Dong Khoi street used to be known as ā€œRue Catinatā€. I keep noticing the coffee chain ā€œKatinatā€ around Vietnam. Maybe itā€™s named after this street? (Which in turn is named after a French general) Anyway, hereā€™s a Katinat branch on the former Rue Catinat!

They seized approximately 75 dogs, out of which 74 were surrendered. So approximately one is left.

True, I work on a open-source database which has a 4-month release cycle & there's a QA team for that part of the product. There's also a closed source managed service, which is updated continously. For this, we only rely integration tests + monitoring.

The Nike running appā€™s guides runs also work amazingly. I wonder if there are any other running-specific podcasts?

If someone wouldā€™ve asked me 10 days ago, I wouldnā€™t have thought this was possible. I have learned that it comes down to endurance, not speed. Speed may come later, but first I need to go steady and be consistent!

even worse if the ā€œdecentralised AIā€ folks okay so youā€™ll run large language models on a blockchain? Store embedding data on IPFS? Cā€™mon

I think the reason is that engagement is not as high as people thought it'd be. Only for people with big audiences already

I have started writing little notes/thoughts over on my own site (https://palash.co), some technical, others not so much. These may eventually turn longer, refined posts, but currently I like to let them linger.

Burned out after 5 years, I took a 6-month sabbatical & lived in a house on the beach, learning to cook. Worked for another startup, took another sabbatical, and now I freelance!

A bit of a background: after studying computer science for 4 years, I decided to start my career in design šŸ™ƒ Got lucky, joined an early stage startup, and ended up working on all kinds of stuff. Learned to code on the job!
