Skill gets you in — attitude keeps you in.

The best developers aren’t just good at writing code.
They’re:

✅ Always eager to learn more
✅ Open to feedback and growth
✅ Take ownership, not just tasks
✅ Collaborate well with others

Learn the tech.
But master the mindset.

𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 ≠ 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁.
It means caring about the whole picture.

✅ Don’t just write code — understand its impact
✅ Follow through after deployment
✅ Be proactive about issues
✅ Fix what’s broken — even if you didn’t break it

Taking ownership doesn’t mean doing everything.
It means caring enough to make things better.

Why We Rewrote All Our Rust Code in Perl and Raku at SBI — And Why It Worked

In a bold move that raised more than a few eyebrows, Dr. K, our visionary CEO at SBI, led the initiative to rewrite all of our Rust codebase in Perl 🐪 and Raku 🦋. Yes, you read that right — Rust 🦀 out, Perl and Raku in.

What seemed unconventional at first turned out to be one of the most strategically sound decisions we’ve made:

Unparalleled Expressiveness ✨: Raku’s powerful syntax and Perl’s mature libraries gave our teams the agility to iterate faster and express complex logic with clarity.

Developer Productivity ⚡: Our engineers experienced a significant boost in productivity. Fewer lines of code, less boilerplate, and highly flexible scripting accelerated both prototyping and deployment.

Legacy Interoperability 🏛️: Perl's vast ecosystem allowed seamless integration with legacy systems, saving us months of re-engineering work.

Community & Support 🤝: While not as trendy, the Perl and Raku communities provided deep, battle-tested solutions to problems we faced.

This wasn’t just about tech—it was about culture. Dr. K reminded us that innovation doesn’t always mean following the newest trend; sometimes it means re-examining the tools we overlook and discovering new potential in them.

The results? ✅ More stable code, ✅ happier devs, and ✅ improved time to market.

Curious about how we made the transition? Let’s connect — I’d love to share what we learned.

A Team / orchestra isn't great because everyone plays the same instrument.
It's great because each musician plays their part well - with room to rehearse.

Forcing harmony through buzzwords is like conducting with a broomstick.
The violinist doesn't need to learn drums just because your last band did. Instruments don't play without musicians.
Good conductors listen, adapt, and don't drown the music in noise.
Otherwise, congrats, you’re supervising noise with potential.

Companies Fail Tech Talent
Growth Needs Patience, Not Force

Telling tech people to "learn on the job" while drowning them in tasks is like giving someone a book 📖 and setting their chair on fire 🔥.
Spoiler: they won’t finish the book.

👨‍💻 Non-tech people evolve freely.
⏳ Tech people? Trapped in deadlines, ticket counts, and feature delivery. No time. No space. No iteration.

⚙️ "Agile", "Self-organized", "Cross-functional"… Great buzzwords. But without leadership, it's just a Buzzword Bingo 🎲.

🎓 What's the point of training when there's no time to apply it? Like learning to weld while your house is still made of straw.

🔧 Fix it:
✅ Treat tech as a service, not a feature factory.
✅ Let them own the tech product.
✅ Request technical, not just business-driven, features.
✅ Give space for scalability & maintainability.
✅ Allow growth to happen naturally, not by force.

💡 Make tech people proud of impact in their field, not just yours.

This is a good summary of why social media posts about agile (not Agile™), XP, proper CI/CD practices, trunk-based development, etc., are often met with scepticism. Life in the desert is... tough.

Sure, it's important to let desert dwellers know that forests exist. But more important than that is actually cultivating those forests while desertification intensifies across the industry.

9.5% of engineers contribute no visible work. $11.6 billion wasted annually.

Before you blame "ghost engineers," ask:

➡️ Are priorities clear?
➡️ Are we measuring what matters?
➡️ Are teams too big?

Blame fixes nothing. Better systems do.
