The very busy Software Developer

Do you see that Software Developer looking intently at his screen? His hands are hardly moving - may be just the first finger scrolling the mouse wheel up, down, up, down. His concentration is complete. His eyes never waver from the code on the screen. His thinking is so furious - you can almost hear the gears whirring in his head...

When you see a software developer like that - looking intently at the code with extreme concentration, then don't be under the impression that he is thinking very hard. Some think that he is trying to memorize the code. But even that's not the case.


It just means that he has no work OR he is feeling sleepy. And hence he is trying to look busy while trying hard not to fall asleep.

The Hurting Truth

A very important lesson: Truth always hurts.
Telling the truth will hurt.
Hiding the truth will hurt too.
Which truth to tell and which truth to hide? I guess it take a life-time of mistakes and hurting your loved ones to know that...

I guess it has to do with the nature of the truth. Truth, I guess, is basically words. And we all know how the wrong kind of words can hurt...
How I wish I could take back my words? But won't it mean hiding the truth? And then again, hiding the truth can hurt too, because such inconvenient things like truths never remain hidden, however much you try... What a dilemma... (Someone said very correctly, we mostly hurt our loved ones)
