the rediscovery of love for programming

07.04.2016
over the years ( 8 years ), i have ignored working on my programming / coding skills. but then this recent visit to bangalore ( india ) for attending a conference turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I stayed with my senior for a few days and observe his working style. he has been my inspiration for so long but this time i got real insights on how he works (a millionth part of it, maybe), etc.

i am loving my new love for coding ( HTML / CSS ) for the starters.

update 16th December 2018:

So I did code pretty much on and off so nothing was substantial. I hope to do a lot more python coding in coming days. Let's see.

Best VPS ever - DigitalOcean

If you have ever bought services of VPS, you know that it could be quite painful process. Specially when the company plans to abruptly shut down their operations and delete your data ( all of it ) after sending few reminders to migrate.

I faced this issue repeatedly with SpaceRich and it was painful. Thereafter I was looking for a company which would provide me with 1) Affordable VPS Solution 2) Effortless Transanctions 3) Painless Subscription

I discovered DigitalOcean somehow and it turned out that I am using DigitalOcean for little less than 2 years now and since now the subscription has lead to amazing experience. I never had to struggle with any support as I didn't need any. I pay monthly which is very convenient. It is super affordable ( starts from $5 per month for smallest plan ).

Therefore if you are looking for a VPS Solution then don't look any further and visit: https://m.do.co/c/c8f509a8a528

Major learnings from trading / investing in stock exchange ( stocks )

following are the learnings which brought different extreme emotions to me. I hope you ( the reader ) will get benefitted from them by following them ( at your own risk and while using own conscience ).

  • If you are having limited money and you have placed an order and are unsure of it getting crossed / completed then CANCEL the order prior to placing a new one else you may get doomed ( in a metaphorical sense ). As transaction takes place in microseconds and there is no way you can control them so save yourself by never doing it.
  • When you are selling your shares, you should know that they don’t get sold at once but are sold in chunks. You should understand how many shares are left to get sold before cancelling and putting new price for the new trade ( of selling ) in this case. Check the Trade Report instantly to know how much shares have been bought / sold at any instant.
  • maintain enough liquidity for day trading that even if you invest ( trade ) it all, you will still be able to breath in and out properly and also stay alive without having even slightest fear. treat that money as value investing. but then always day trade in companies which are having financials rock solid or at least the assets leads double the debts.

Quote by me:

  • if you aren't sane at the time of transaction, you will surely get insane after the square off.

Learnings from Casey Neistat

Below are the Notes from a video I watched of Casey Neistat:

  • believe in your story, source is invested in the story / subject.
  • work is more important than India. motivated > inspiration.
  • Absorb the motivation around yourself.
  • make something which people will care about.
  • vitality just happens. you can’t you anything about it but to make the best video.
  • story should be important. cinematic product appeal.
  • advice to filmmakers  - do the work .inspiration is cheap. WORK is important.
  • through working you learn.
