Code forlorn love-torn

This blog is like an old friend. Come back anytime, no questions asked. Or, old friends should be like technology, full UX guaranteed regardless of how rusted the friendship conversations have become.
Being reminded of UX from meself doesn't feel so great, though. I have messed my head with a holistic responsibility of a website, which has driven me into a machine-bound creature.

It was a sloppy weekend that which just finished 3 hours and 18 minutes back. The hangover of Friday continued into Caturday, and Caturday's despondency continued into Sunday. That's what having a troubled profession, travel itinerary and relationship brings. One moment, you are on, and off the next, or onto some divergent path while seeking to attain focus (and hence progress). Now do I get iapain's state, about 8 years late from when he expressed it, after a client meet one day, on a project back in college days. That project went great, regardless and led to our own "Long Way Round" from Manali-Leh - I commend him 8 years late on how well he managed things from his messy PoV [well, just tweeted about it too]. 8 years older, and I've only come to realize that..

Speaking to S I had a general feeling of doom come over, realizing the pace of technology. Here I am barely able to stand straight, and he's feeding me on Clojure and the future of realtime apps. For one, I didn't know that Whatsapp was built on Clojure, for the inherent features that make such heavily-decentralised management possible. In the meantime, I thought Go was the future. Seems like the only thing allowed is to not stick to one platform.. or stick to a philosophy instead of a framework. Well, me and my amateur notions from a PoV further than ever before.
