  • Catching up with the workload

    The thing about joining a project in the middle of it meant that you didn’t know much about how things worked around before you came. And that also means that you need to have a lot of catching up to do. Your question might be, “Where should I start?” And it might be challenging to Read more

  • This is where I learned to walk a lot

    Just a day in at work (first face-to-face work since the pandemic) already required me to walk around the University Campus.

This puts gas stations under pressure to change their business models. From IN FOCUS: Singapore’s electric vehicle revolution is coming – does this spell the end for petrol stations?: With most Read more

  • The nitty-gritty of troubleshooting

    We don’t think about functions failing until they do. It’s because we expect that they continue to do the work they ought to do. And when we are catching up with a deadline, this somewhat unanticipated breakdown becomes a source of unwanted irritation. When troubleshooting, we are compelled to explore what went wrong–which means that Read more
