A Great Single Interview Question for Technologist

by Mike

There are many different skill set looked for in a various roles in software development environment but as I progress further away from day to day detailed delivery task, I am venturing into a completely different realm of the void between technology and business. My role of an Application Architect of past 4 years have been scary and exciting at the same time.

Now, what would be a good question to ask in an interview if I was to find a replacement for myself?

Here is a vague yet specific question I have been asked before. It’s not a very technical question on the surface but can turn into a technical discussion or a one long complaint session:

Why Do So Many Software Projects Fail?

Your response?

New name, different approach to things.

by Mike

I have been contemplating on change of this blog’s name for some time now.

It’s been years since I actually had interesting enough things to blog frequently or rather I’ve had the longest blogger’s block!

In anycase, I’m back with number of interesting things happening in my life to worth keeping this blog active for next while.

First of all, what does the new title Geek Meets World really mean?

I’ve been a geek for most of my life and as I grow older and become more mature, I have grown to accept my inner geek and at the same time have become quite proud of it. For years, I have been observing the world around me and suspected that I take on and understanding things in a slightly off-phase spin. This resulted in humor sometimes but other times are down right disastrous.

Here is to the second coming (actually a fourth coming, I think) revival of my blog that used to be known as Random Mine.
