Three reflections from David Heinemeier's recent interview

Image
I went through this interview article with David Heinemeier yesterday with much interest and anticipation. Before i get to the reason around my interest, here's an answer to 'Who is David Heinemeier?', just in case you didn't know: David Heinemeier Hansson is the co-founder of Basecamp and NYT bestselling coauthor of Rework and Remote. He’s also the creator of the software toolkit Ruby on Rails, which has been used to launch and power Twitter, Shopify, GitHub, Airbnb, Square, and over a million other web applications. Reflection #1: What caught my attention in this article was the below paragraph, which I also tweeted about: 'I’ve realized that the hard part about most books is not reading them but recalling their knowledge or insight when you need it the most.' This is very succinctly put up sentence. When I took up reading big time almost a decade back, I was driven by this quote from Prakash Iyer's article : "If you read for just half an hour everyd...

Express gratitude for what you have than regretting what you lost

I started running in late 2007. I remember my first running event was a 7 km run Bangalore, which I managed to finish huffing and puffing. That start, though not perfect, gave me the mental fuel and focus to sustain and make running a part of my life. In May 2008, I ran my first 10 Km run in an event called as Sunfeast 10 k run.

From 2008 till 2018, I ran 11 consecutive editions of this run. In between this phase, I gradually built the strength, stamina and hunger to run longer distances, up to 100km a few times and full marathons 15+ times. If my memory serves me right, I think post 2011 the sponsor of this run was changed to TCS (from Sunfeast) but what didn't change was my participation in this run. Year after year, for 11 years my routine was almost ritualistic. I prepared in the month...

Panel Talk on Resolving Technology Transfer Conflicts

Image
I recently moderated a panel talk at a unique conference with Academia and Industry leaders as a key Unicon . The focus of this conference was enabling collaboration between industry and universities and do justice to the role this partnership has as an imperative for disruptive leadership. This blog is dedicated to give a bit of a glimpse into this panel talk and some thoughts that emerged from speaking with some amazing people in this conference- Setting the context: I wanted to start by bringing forward 3 points about this exciting and relevant panel discussion. Few years back, I used to encourage my team to be well-versed with dealing with change, and staying ahead of it. In today's times, the narrative has evolved from being just change to that of "transformation", which is orders of magnitude higher degree than change. Bringing change is rather easy, but bringing in transformation requires a large scale of innovation.  Most progressive organizations cannot innovate...
