Then to fulfil the curiosity I would often read lot of blogs, articles on same topic. If I still feel that I am still not satisfied then I pick book on the topic.
I usually read around 20 books in an year and all are shortlisted [1] as per the above method. Last 3 books that I have read
- Code Breakers (I found the mRNA vaccine and gene editing fascinating) - How the world really works (To really understand that if the green future is really possible) - Natural Language Processing in Action (To understand how text models like GPT-3 really works

Writing is a way for me to clear out my head, I usually scribble a lot in my notepad and recently in Obsidian. From past one year, I also share the things out in public on my blog - https://binaryho.me/
The traffic is < 5 daily users but that's not discouraging as I find peace in writing.

It's difficult to build strong opinions on a topic. Mostly we go with the safe opinions that are acceptable by society.
And problem comes up when we mix belief, perspective, facts and opinions.
Thank you pg and dang!
For adults, looking smart is more important and if asking dumb questions hinders that capability, then we tend to avoid it.
Absolutely lovely!
One of the things that I have learnt is how important effective communication is for software developers. It can make or break the products.
You are feeling hungry and went to food court. The food court (open area) has a lot of options. You sit down in front of Domino's (Facebook), since you want to eat garlic bread. Now, you can't order from the counter directly. The waiter will come to your seat and ask for the order. You ordered garlic bread from the waiter, but the guy at Domino's counter went missing. Your order was not reaching to the chef in kitchen as Domino's counter guy was not present.
This explains why Domino's (Facebook) ecosystem was down, but what about other vendors? They had nothing to do with Facebook.
To understand this, we need to go back to our food court again. Now, there are a lot of hungry people sitting outside Domino. Since they were not getting answer from one waiter as why their food is not on their table, they started disturbing all the waiters. Due to this, majority of the waiters were trying to figure out where the Domino's counter guy went and other food joints (read websites) were not able to fulfil their own orders.
So although only Domino's was down, it appeared as if whole Food Court (Internet) was facing issues.
