The Wind of Change, 2012 Edition
Recently, I was quoted in an article about early retirement, which resulted in a hilarious number of people reacting with “What? You retired???” Most of the people who reacted this way are people who have known me for a long time, and were surprised that I was even talking about retirement. They probably missed my [...]
A question of ethics
If you involve me in a process that I find out to be of questionable quality, repeatedly object, recuse myself immediately after, and ask you not to use my name to rubber stamp your questionable results, but you still do, what does that say about you?

20 Tips For Your First Job

Corruption

Change of Twitter ID to @AtulChitnis
I have changed my Twitter ID from the old “@achitnis” to “@AtulChitnis”. People who were following the old ID now automatically follow the new ID, so there is nothing you need to do, except to remember to write “@AtulChitnis” (upper/lower case does not matter) instead of “@achitnis” when sending me a message on Twitter. Why [...]
