Let’s play a new game to improve our lives

Do you feel bored when you keep doing the same thing for years without any new improvements, and no one gives you trustworthy support or encouragement?

Don't you feel that you've been living in your comfort zone for too long, to the point where you can't challenge the outside world?

Let's build your reputation within the community, among your peers, and with people around the world. Then, you can learn about new trends in working experiences, life, and technological advancements, especially in areas like AI, ChatGPT, Big data management, and Cybersecurity. All of these areas require individuals with advanced capabilities in human leadership who can interact effectively with others.

People are great and powerful, especially they could produce much more productivities with courage under a superb leader who truly understands the human mindset and can manage it well.

Education related to soft skills training should be provided to all Chiefs or Heads of Companies who are essentially managing hundreds of staff under their supervision. The problem of high staff turnover each year is not due to the size of the companies but rather to issues with the Chiefs' leadership. Obviously, they couldn't control their emotions and anger towards the staff in the appropriate situations.

Experiencing tough and difficult managers can be beneficial as it prepares you to embrace new opportunities in the future. When you become a leader, you must evolve to exhibit good leadership as well.

Don't be afraid to move out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself with new experiences. Believe me!

When playing chess, if you don't move your pieces, do you think you will win the game?

Jensen Huang says kids shouldn't learn to code — they should leave it up to AI

 But this isn't the first time a tech exec has predicted the death of coding.

At the recent World Government Summit in Dubai, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made a counterintuitive break with what he thinks is a long tradition of tech CEOs advising youngsters to learn how to code. Huang argued that, even at this early stage of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, programming is no longer a vital skill. With coding taken care of by AI, humans can instead focus on more valuable expertise like biology, education, manufacturing, or farming, reasoned the Nvidia head.

Grab launches Web3 crypto wallet in Singapore

Grab has integrated Web3 services into its platform, allowing users to set up their own Web3 wallets within the app. With Grab’s Web3 Wallet, users can now earn blockchain-based rewards and pay with NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens).

What is Active-Active Clustering

What is Active-active Clustering?

Active-active clustering is a data resiliency architecture in which client workloads are distributed across two or more nodes in a cluster to keep your data safe and available in the event of an unexpected component failure.

The Benefits of Active-active Clusters

Common benefits of active-active clusters include:

• High availability of mission-critical apps across data centers, campuses, and metros
• Load balancing across a cluster of servers
• Data redundancy and resiliency (maintain uptime even when one site fails)

Why Active-active vs. Active-passive?

When it comes to high-availability (HA) clusters, the two main configurations you’ll encounter in data storage are:

• Active-active clusters: Client machines connect to a load balancer that distributes their workloads across multiple active servers.
• Active-passive clusters: Client machines connect to the main server, which handles the full workload, while a backup server remains on standby, only activating in the event of a failure.

Life Was Born for Love in Digital Era

Life was born to help each other, give love to one and others. I'd thank lovely mother for giving a such great birth, a birth which has been striving so hard since Life was in a little younger lived with nature at countryside; far away from the city. More than 10 years was living with farm, cows, and stayed with grandparents or uncle. Life had never got a warm care from parents at all, due to economy constraint.

From nothing Life becomes better Life, a Life which not having much properties, and no much money, but it's an enjoyable Life which surrounding by good people giving happiness, respect and love. 

This life has not been contributing much money to other people or community.  It actually can afford for family and self-improvement only. However, entire Life has been sharing and contributing so much of knowledge, inspiration, experiences and skills to some of young generation which including sisters, brothers, relatives, friends, staffs under supervision and several small business startups as well as grateful to family by supporting them for living a better way.

Life now is starting to have more responsible since Lovely Son came out on a great day, 09 September 2021. Life seems like receiving more happier, a slight heavy responsibility, yet it's fulfilling with happiness, and meaningful in the family. Life with one daughter and one son is really completed.

It's a sort of another motivation and strength to commit the goal in the future to make sure that they have well-healthy and well-educated in the society by adapting to digital transformation and advance technology. Hopefully they could grow up to be a responsible person like daddy and mommy did in the past.

(x) Life has high academy but no morality is equal to "Nothing".

(x) Life has much money but no dignity and honest is equal to "Nothing".

(y) Life is fulfilled with Love and Happiness as long as having "Morality, Dignity, and Honest". 

Daughter and Son, you guys must remember and adhere to these things responsibly. You need to learn from professional and expert's experiences and get new concepts & ideas from them as much as possible, but don't copy them because the success is absolutely coming from your thought and your trust the most.

Pair Programming vs Mob Programming

Developers actually could design software and coding by following various technique or they don't even exactly know what approach they are using to develop the software at all. Normally they just do by their previous experience and follow their teammates.

Have you ever heard about Pair Programming and Mob Programming before? and which approach does it really suit with software development at your company?

Let's see the definition of both approaches as the following:

1. Mob programming (informally mobbing) (aka. ensemble programming) is a software development approach where the whole team works on the same thing, at the same time, in the same space, and at the same computer. [Wikipedia]

2. Pair programming is an agile software development technique in which two programmers work together at one workstation. One, the driver, writes code while the other, the observer or navigator, reviews each line of code as it is typed in. The two programmers switch roles frequently. While reviewing, the observer also considers the "strategic" direction of the work, coming up with ideas for improvements and likely future problems to address. This is intended to free the driver to focus all of their attention on the "tactical" aspects of completing the current task, using the observer as a safety net and guide. [Wikipedia]

After read this article, what do you think which approach is much better than? Please judge one for implementing in your workplace right now.

Nothing Lasts Forever in This Digital World

I believe that nothing happened without reason and nothing lasts forever. One day it absolutely will be changed. As same as #Messi30 recently transferred to PSG, he seems like shaking the world and shocked his fans globally. I'm sure that this is a right decision for France, Paris football club's economic will potentially get growth, and popular to another step.

Our life, career and love are the same situation, it never lasts forever. One day we will lose it from our life. So, what we have to do is starting to share our respect, have a kindness for one to another. Especially contribute what we have to other people for a better growth.

Innovative of technologies are being invented every seconds and new tech created in every day it changes so fast. As a geek, you must adopt and adapt to these new trends and learning something new as much as possible because nothing lasts forever!!!!

Right Tool for Organization Roadmap Management

I have been working with many organization in various business industries, I saw that technology implementation in their companies actually are very old school they mostly utilized incorrect tool to manage their data and planning. Most of MS Excel file is used to manage everything including financial & budgeting, project management, feedback or backlog management as well as product roadmap. 

When we use incorrect tool to manage data it will affect to our productivity slow down and especially has no efficiency and no teamwork collaboration. 

If you are on the top level of management, there is one Tool recommended to help you for product roadmap management it is easier to keep tracking your features priority planning effectively, it's called "ProductBoard". Since I'm starting to use this tool I feel that it is really powerful and help my work a lot. No more mistake occurred again since all data has been storing on the cloud-based ProductBoard system.

In according to my research, I found ProductBoard is the right choice for product / feature planning and feedback collection. Highly recommended!!!  => URL: https://www.productboard.com/

Yahoo Mail Made Me So Disappointed

It is the first email service I was using since I started my journey in University of Computer Science in 2002. All emails had been stored in Yahoo such as my lecture's assignment, University trips and photos with my classmates during bachelor degree for four years.

Especially I used it to communicate with my girlfriend where she was studying at Malaysia (now she is my wife). I had lovely stories with her a lot. We had many sweet emails and photos while we were in teen. Every time, I was bored most of the time, just sign into the Yahoo and read older messages and looked at old photos it made me a lot of power and happiness.

After left Yahoo Mail for few years, I felt to sign in and find my old memories with her then everything were gone :( , I'm so disappointed. Technology fooled me! I hopefully trusted on it but at the end of the day it fooled me, they just updated terms of condition and policy and wiped out all of user's personal mails and things. I thought that it is not only me had this experience but others also hurt by Yahoo.

See this article, they also had as same problem as  me:

What is Operator Framework?

 

The goal of an Operator is to put operational knowledge into software. Previously this knowledge only resided in the minds of administrators, various combinations of shell scripts or automation software like Ansible. It was outside of your Kubernetes cluster and hard to integrate. With Operators, CoreOS changed that.

Operators implement and automate common Day-1 (installation, configuration, etc) and Day-2 (re-configuration, update, backup, failover, restore, etc.) activities in a piece of software running inside your Kubernetes cluster, by integrating natively with Kubernetes concepts and APIs. We call this a Kubernetes-native application. With Operators you can stop treating an application as a collection of primitives like Pods, Deployments, Services or ConfigMaps, but instead as a single object that only exposes the knobs that make sense for the application.

Approval Process Workflow Automation

 

When employees and supervisors spend more time tracking down paperwork, sharing Word or Excel documents, managing emails, making phone calls than doing real work, it's a sign your approval workflow needs to be automated.

Approval workflow can be a challenge for large and small organizations since many departments still rely on manual, inefficient ways of making approval requests and providing sign-off. Also, these processes don't provide the transparency and audit trails needed.

I would recommended software:
