Ways to Distinguish Yourself #205 – Dis-Engage When Your Work is Valued Less | Life Beyond Code
Venkk, You bring up a good point. Mentors come into the picture to solve the "I don't know what I don't know" problem. I do have plans to write on cross-cultural communication but I don't know when I will get to it. In the middle of a few projects now...

Cody, You have a good point. But you are a good example right here. You moved to Thailand and the time difference between us is insane. But we end up working on projects together. So, good help is valuable in all economies :) Best, Rajesh

Vinayak, it can be painful if you let the feeling linger. Best is to move on wishing them well. It is not worth thinking about it except for reflecting and learning from the experience. Best, Rajesh

Apples and Oranges: The pitch for pre-paid gas option | Life Beyond Code
Thanks Ravi. Personally I never sign up for the pre-paid option. The logic I use is quite simple (my bird brain can't process complex logic anyway) Option #1: Pre-paid will cost me about $45 for the full tank. Option #2: Self-fill. The risk is that I...

Hi Mohan, Thank you for the comment. I am sure we both will agree that this is an exception and even during business trips, you can opt to fill the gas yourself. However, this is precisely the kind of exceptions that the car companies want to bank on....
