A lazy day

 Today I did a midday nap, and it felt amazing. I am not sure if because of my high intensive workouts or something else, like the autumn weather, but I am not in my lack of motivation phase and I need to take it a little bit slow.

If your body is showing you need a rest, it is better to rest than to push yourself to the limit and be unproductive and tired.

A lot of time, we are way too hard on ourselves than we should be. Another tactic is to start small. For example, if you are not used to do 20 pushups, you start with only 1 per day and every week you increase it. This will give you the resilience to continue with your goals and to progress faster than if you had just tried to push yourself.

This result in a lot of guess work and a huge stress on the engineering team during the launch day. On the positive end, they did have stage and prod environment, which is a best practice approach. Scalable system architectures are now critical, yet comprehensive load and performance testing remains insufficiently prioritized. Similar things happened to Healthcare gov on it’s launch day. The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
