Today was my last day at Sage (I joined Lockstep, which was acquired by Sage) I spent a little over two years working with the wonderful engineering team there. I learnt a lot from everyone on the team, and made some new friends (I knew one person before I joined) during my stay.

Most of the team was junior to me (in terms of number of years of experience.) But as I worked with them, I noticed that every single one of them were exceptional engineers. Without exception.¹

Today around 10am (or a bit earlier) we lost electricity at our house. Today is Thursday, and power loss isn’t surprising.

As far as I remember, my city always had scheduled power loss on Thursday. This used to happen every week when I was growing up. So much so, that my engineering college had Thursday as a weekly off, due to this. Over the years, things improved, but Thursday remained the day when local electricity company would could schedule the maintenance task.

Today was my last day at stck.me (Formerly Scrollstack.com) I spent more than a year working with the wonderful engineering team there. I learnt a lot from everyone on the team, and made some new friends (I already knew a lot of folks from this team before I joined) during my stay.

I will continue to cheer stck.me from the sidelines

Some of my contributions during my time with scrollstack:

• Improve the SEO of the hosted blogs by auto generating the Sitemap from the posts
• Integrate Honeybadger error monitoring tool for proactively addressing the issues in production setup
• POC to generate PDF from Post Source
• Multiple file support for Digital Goods like Gumroad
• Monthly Active User Metrics. Although we did not end up using it, I learnt about rsyslog and logrotate in the process
• Refactor tiptapy to use more Jinja and less python. This helped reduce the python code. Shekhar helped a lot on this process. 🙏
