Hi All !
Here is the weekly summary of Technical / Non-Technical topics that I found very resourceful.
Technical:
- If you had only 60 secs to check the performance of a linux system, here would be a check list to find the bottlenecks ! “Linux Performance Analysis in 60,000 Milliseconds”
- We all know the importance of cutting and parsing only required parts of an output in programming. Awk on a whole can do much more than that. Here is – “Why you should learn just a little Awk”
- I found this resource on github which is suitable for almost every programmer, System and Network administrators, DevOps, Pentesters and Security Researchers. – “The Book of Secret Knowledge”
- On a lighter note – Remember the first time you opened a Vim editor and didn’t know how to exit ? Here is a funny milestone on same ! “Stack Overflow ~ Helping One Million Developers Exit Vim”
Non-Technical :
- Learning never ends. So it is good to know the best ways of learning. Here is a discussion on the same. – “Ask HN: What are your best learning methods/hacks/tips? “
- Learning is important true, but we forget what we learn if there is no repetition. I use Anki for spaced repetition. Anki works wonders. Reviewing notes multiple times based on the ones you mark Easy, Medium or Difficult. – “Anki”
- Quote I’m pondering :
“I don’t give explanations anymore, and I’ll catch myself when I start giving explanations like ‘Oh, I’m sorry, I can’t make it. I have a doctor’s appointment. I’m really sick. I broke my leg over the weekend’ or something. I just say, ‘I can’t do it. I hope everything is well.’ “

Have a great weekend!
