A passionate programmer, software architect, and a enthusiastic observer of internet technologies and usage. Having worked in a variety of roles, the essential passion that drives me is that of a Programmer. Architecture and Design issues excite me, Solving problems through programming is what I crave. C++, Java and Python I am quite competent at, Python being the most exciting. A number of other languages I experiment with.

  • Aaaaaaargh ! Working with maven after some great time on python’s virtualenv and easy_install (I love maven but not its xml config hell) #
  • Maven shows how well intentioned enterprise calibre features and controls and poor focus on usability can be such a pain in the ass #
  • @djspiewak Thanks, will certainly try it out. There’s got to be a better way to do things :) in reply to djspiewak #

  • Why is everyone up in arms on twitter replies ? A misunderstood change ? From what I understand makes difference to only 2% users. #
  • @Mendelt in my understanding, statistically only 2% of those who had non default settings are affected. Its a misunderstood change. in reply to Mendelt #
  • @Mendelt 98% of my followers who didn’t follow you wouldn’t have received this tweet yesterday or day before. For them there is *no change* in reply to Mendelt #

  • #humour I think twitter changing its replies behaviour is a conspiracy to make people aware of the non default options for following others. #
  • @sbidwai eclipse. Superior API. I think more users. But learning and getting competent at either is a pain. in reply to sbidwai #
  • @sbidwai All the time. Happens to people who are inspired by challenges and figuring them out but not by actually implementing the solution. in reply to sbidwai #

  • RT: @davetron5000: @surya_s More specific thoughts on why maven drives me batty: http://bit.ly/kvqHk #
  • @dushyanth completely agree. Have found metaprogramming (if feasible) or metadata based programming extremely effective. in reply to dushyanth #
  • RT: @marshallk: Is This Why Twitter Changed Its Replies Policy? http://bit.ly/Zw4PA #
