P. A. Sangma as a President!

I'm a great fan of P. A. Sangma. About 10-years ago, I created/started his Wikipedia page. I'm glad to see the quotes I have added then are still there:

"Adventurism is easy, but restraint is far more difficult." - Against nuclear weapons in Lok Sabha debate
"Do you want to kill the whole world nine times? Do you want to kill the whole world 13 times? And, how can you kill a person a second time?" - Against nuclear weapons in Lok Sabha debate

Problems with CakePHP - follow-up

Some people have responded including the Datepicker fame Marc Grabanski . So, this follow-up... First of all, I was not ranting nor complaining; I've just blogged/documented my experience.

Prediction: Expensify will crash through its insane question-based hiring process

I have huge respect for David Barrett for his technical background. But, his company, Expensify is following a modern psychometric test called a question-based hiring process .

I just thought of blogging my thoughts here to see how Expensify evolves.
