Long since I stopped working
Recently, I came across an interesting perspective on modes of professional life of knowledge worker
The professional life of the independent knowledge worker occurs in four different modes: insanity, give-back, work, and fun.
If you are serving people you don’t like to be with and are not getting paid, that is insanity.
If you are serving people you enjoy being with but are not getting paid, that is give-back.
If you are serving people you don’t like to be with but are getting paid, that is work.
If you are serving people you enjoy being with and are getting paid, that is fun.
Well, on retrospection, I think it has been years since I stopped working, going by this classification, an interesting one at that; essentially what I do is either a give back or fun

About
Software engineer’s blog!
Software engineer referred here is not a person with designation “software engineer” or similar but a practitioner in perpetual quest in balancing academic interest with business priorities.
This is blog of my forays into software engineering!! Indeed, software engineering is not new; it is there for decades now… to be precise, since NATO conference 1968. But does it make sense? does it have practical relevance? in the context of business imperatives? what does practical adoption involve? … and many more questions follow
In my business, my endeavor to deliver business success to my customers leveraging software engineering principles, best practices, tools, technology and so on… and my learning and experiences are what I seek to share here
