Been a while..

When I was in college, I remember my pass-out seniors telling me
"life is not the same outside college, especially when you start working".
Back then, I thought it is a statement for the weak heart as I was a firm believer of
"you always have time to do what you want to do."
Well, now that I have been out of college for almost 2 years, here's what I have to say.

They were right. It's not. You don't necessarily have time to do what you want to do. There are always two sets of tasks boggling your mind - The important ones and the urgent ones.
Important ones like going to the gym, learning a new language, writing blogs, keeping contact with old friends. You want to do each of them but you never get time. You are constantly boggled by the more pressing, more urgent tasks - that nasty bug in the code, that awesome plugin and what not. They always take priority. Always.

So readers, find time for yourself. Regulate your life. Because if you just let life be, and keep on doing what you are doing, you will never have time to do what you want to do!

सूनापन

मुद्दत हो गयी उन तन्हायियो को गुजरे , फिर भी इन आँखों में नमी क्यों है  ? तोड़ दिया मोहब्बत पर से यकीन मेरा, फिर भी मेरी दुनिया में तेरी कमी क्यों है ? हसरत है क्यों आज भी तेरी चाहत की मुझे, क्यों याद तेरी जेहेन से मिटती नहीं ? जलजला क्यों उमड़ता है ख्वाबो में मेरे, उस आशिकी की आगज़नी क्यों है  ? सन्नाटो में भी क्यों सुनता हू तुझे मेरी परछाई से क्यों तू जाती नहीं ? इन डबडबाती आँखों को तलाश तेरी, आज भी कहीं क्यों है   ?

How the Python import system works

How the Python import system works From:  https://tenthousandmeters.com/blog/python-behind-the-scenes-11-how-the-python-import-system-works/ If you ask me to name the most misunderstood aspect of Python, I will answer without a second thought: the Python import system. Just remember how many times you used relative imports and got something like  ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package ; or tried to figure out how to structure a project so that all the imports work correctly; or hacked  sys.path  when you couldn't find a better solution. Every Python programmer experienced something like this, and popular StackOverflow questions, such us  Importing files from different folder  (1822 votes),  Relative imports in Python 3  (1064 votes) and  Relative imports for the billionth time  (993 votes), are a good indicator of that. The Python import system doesn't just seem complicated – it is complicated. So even though...

Advice to young web developers

I’ve been making websites in some form or another since 2008. After 12 years of experience I think I’ve accumulated enough knowledge to know a few things. Here’s some things I’d like younger developers to think about, in no particular order: Sometimes a website is just a website. The browser is already a client; HTML is its language. The web is built around server-side rendering. You can provide your data in more than one way; consider HTML to be one of several possible data representations. Scaling your server helps everyone. Expecting client-side scaling only helps people with the fastest computers and Internet connections. Not everyone has (or can use) a mouse. Not everyone has (or can use) a keyboard. Not everyone has (or can use) a touchscreen. Not everyone can see colors or pictures the same way you can. Not everyone can process information the same way you do. It is inhumane to move things around on people. The browser’s native HTML parsing is far faster than anything you can wr...
