With a lengthy list of things that I'd like to do on the open source front, I've spent 100 hours playing Witcher 3. Didn't play any game since GTA V came out.

I feel ashamed for such a sort of procrastination, and I have mixed feelings when multiply 100 hours by my hourly rate.

But the game is great, and I feel that it's what I need right now.

How do you spend your time when not feeding the insatiable creative part of your personality?

Also, a fix the problem with an awesome TestProf's `let_it_be` I've spend so much time debugging has been just merged https://test-prof.evilmartians.io/#/let_it_be?id=state-leakage-detection

Happy to share the guide on how to painlessly work with Sidekiq and ActiveJob I've been working on for so long is out.

Sometimes the amount of open-source work is overwhelming. This is just for last two days.

It's really awesome to come back after two months to realize it's really lively and crowded here! Spent a fair amount of time to catch up.

Wrote an article after a long break https://medium.com/@philpirj/questions-to-ask-in-a-programming-job-interview-70b9ed49c53e?source=friends_link&sk=a2c5fad4864cc46bb05f5558f836343d

This talk is brilliant https://vimeo.com/9270320

All about the lack and overlook of fundamental research in different aspects of practical programming.

It touches so many topics that it would hardly fit into a toot limit.

Just watch it.

Mediating style discussions is hard.

Past discussion was mostly passive

My patch has been accepted to Sidekiq, and my article got its way to Ruby Weekly. What a week! 🙌

Question. In which namespace `B` is defined?

```ruby
A = Class.new do
B = 1
end
A::B # => ???
B # => ???
```

Are you adventurous enough to use Sidekiq via ActiveJob?

Would you like to hear a success story with a lot of "gotcha" moments?

Would you be interested in seeing a list of best practices digested from over a hundred of background job related code reviews?

Is it a common practice amongst company recruiters to send a not working link for the follow-up interview, and stop replying to emails? Is this a polite way to say "we're not interested"?
