I came into software development struggling and fighting. I wanted to be an architect, or an artist, because I could draw fairly well and had a knack for shapes and designs.
Engineering was a safer choice, it would feed me in the future and it would allow me to make a decent income. 
 It is the safer choice, it has continued to feed me (on my own dime) for the past 8 years or so and it has…

If you have a good testing infrastructure, you can do anything with your code. Everything becomes easy because you know that as long as the tests are passing, everything is A-Okay. The only downside is that testing is hard, man.

I am trying to get into Stoicism and last night I read this quote: 
 “Nothing is slower than the true birth of a man.”

Welcome to Week 4 of Google Summer of Code. It said in one of the emails from Google, that time will move pretty fast. Yep, 4 weeks over! 
 Let’s look at the tasks to be completed in this week.

Okay, so in week 2, I’ve had some good challenges to overcome. I was given 3 tasks this week: 
 
 To cleanup esquery.py file. This file is the primary file to create elasticsearch DSL queries which are sent to elasticsearch to get the required results. 
 To create from scratch, a new notebook which queries elasticsearch enriched indices and calculates the metrics. 
 To think about…
This week was interesting! I read the manuscripts base code and played with a lot of functions to learn how they work. It was fun because after being stuck on a few functions and classes, I finally understood that I should burn my laptop, giveup and go home. Good bye!

Before the orgs were announced 
 Since I enrolled into Engineering back in 2014, I wanted to participate in GSoC. I tried to apply in 2016 and 2017 but didn’t get in. This is my final year of Engineering and this year I meant business. 
 I was interning at Network Intelligence India (1) Pvt. Ltd. when the program schedule for 2018 was announced. I didn’t have a concrete plan in…
