This blog, reborn

I was writing this blog not because I had something to say but I felt like I had to say something. I wanted to have an opinion on a lot of things and especially on the talks of the town in Tech. I was mostly correct about my opinions & predictions but it felt like I was doing it for the sake of being a journalist which I’m not. I never had the deep knowledge of these tech things. (Although a lot of times my knowledge was deeper than a lot of folks that worked with that tech)

When you have such broad scope, you cease to dive deep into a subject.

I never learned and understood things with depth. I had amazing breadth, I still do; I’m a generalist. But eventually I realized to create value for myself, I have to be a T-shaped engineer. Depth in at least one thing with breadth in others.

Right now, I’m doing my masters in CyberSecurity domain so I chose this to be the depth point. But after diving deep in Cyber, I realized that it’s a broad one complementing my earlier style. An accident of convergence. But it requires some level of depth in some things. The Fundamentals.

This blog is documentation of my understanding of things sans AI SLOP.

These are my perspectives on engineering. They could be debatable and sometimes wrong too. But they’re mine. I’m not aiming at being correct, just raw & real.
