So many meaningful indicators in this post: On CI: "The process has become so streamlined that the rest of the team jokes about grabbing popcorn and waiting for the magic to happen." On Dev: "In just a few hours, we can turn an idea into an internal test track for our Product Owner’s feedback, creating a feedback loop faster than ever." On Updates: "I almost forgot what RN's Upgrade Helper looked like—it's like trying to teach an old dog new tricks. Expo makes upgrades smoother than a jazz saxophonist on a Sunday morning." This is such a helpful post for developers on "vanilla" React Native apps, looking at the direction that the platform's framework architecture is headed, and realizing how to migrate. Thanks 🚗 Steve Galili for sharing MyWheels experience. Promising outcomes to say the least!

If you had invested $100 in Amazon stock at its IPO in 1997, you would be sitting on over $150,000 today! That’s an astonishing 1500x 🚀🚀 growth over 27 years, with an annual growth rate of about 29.85%! 📈 While the stock market can be unpredictable in the short term, holding onto quality stocks for the long haul can yield life-changing returns. Imagine turning a modest investment into a fortune just by staying invested and believing in the company’s growth. #Investment #StockMarket #Amazon #LongTermGrowth #FinancialSuccess #WealthManagement #SmartInvesting

Layoffs! Nobody likes the word "layoffs," but why should we worry excessively? You might be wondering why I'm not stressed about layoffs, given they can shift you from earning to not earning. In my view, layoffs can be seen as an opportunity to shift gears and accelerate your career. Life is full of ups and downs—imagine how monotonous it would be without them. Prepare every day as if it were your last because nothing is permanent, except maybe PLASTIC! Jokes aside, here are some key traits to embrace: 1. Self-Belief: Trust in your capabilities. 2. Value Proposition: Organizations hire you for your skills and impact, not just their budget. 3. Skillset Over Dependency: You’re valuable for what you bring to the table, not just for the organization's current financial status. So, rather than lamenting over layoffs, focus on honing your skills and stay prepared to seize new opportunities. #CareerAdvice #ProfessionalGrowth #Networking #CareerDevelopment

I have known Avni for almost ten years and I am super glad (and not surprised) that her customer-focused approach remains unchanged. We were fortunate to have Avni Savant speak to our teams at G2 India. The session was inspirational, and we learned a lot from her. Avni has a wealth of experience, and we are grateful for the valuable insights she shared with us. During the session brilliantly moderated by Aravind Raj, we discussed several topics and gained a few key takeaways: ⚡ Creating an environment that supports a "fail fast" mindset fosters innovation, and consistent leadership support is essential. Interestingly, this is something that Roger Valade aligns with strongly, and we are just in the middle of an innovation sprint. :) 🧠 We explored areas where AI can be implemented to solve product use cases. Avni stressed that we don't need to reinvent the wheel; instead, we should learn from companies that have successfully adopted AI. The most doable areas for AI implementation are to improve developer productivity and summarize insights and discoveries. 📊 We discussed how squad-specific goals (OKRs) can be integrated with the company's larger goals. For example, we can analyze if improving our product's onboarding experience impacts the adoption rate, and understand if the release was successful. Avni emphasized the importance of using data to make feature iterations and prioritization decisions. 💬 We discussed the significance of product development teams being close to the customers and leveraging customer interviews, and feedback from pre-sales, sales, and support teams. 💗 Lastly, Avni highlighted the importance of self-drivenness and having a clear point of view in one's career. She noted that this proactive approach is valued and appreciated. We are truly grateful to Avni for her time and lessons!

𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱: 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝘃𝗮𝘁𝘀𝗮𝗿𝗶 𝗠𝗮𝗵𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘃 In the spirit of Samvatsari Maha Parv, a significant day in Jainism, we focus on the power of forgiveness. On this day, Jains ask for forgiveness from everyone—whether family, friends, or even those they may have disagreed with (Michhami Dukkadam). The goal is to cleanse the heart of grudges and embrace humility, selflessness, and a fresh start. But this tradition of seeking and offering forgiveness goes beyond religious practice; it provides valuable lessons for our professional lives as well: 1. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀: Forgiveness helps rebuild trust and collaboration. Imagine how much stronger teams would be if conflicts were resolved quickly, with a willingness to listen and let go of past misunderstandings. 2. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆: Leaders who embody forgiveness create environments where mistakes are part of the growth process, encouraging openness and emotional intelligence. These leaders foster a more resilient and connected workforce. 3. 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: In professional settings, conflict and miscommunication can harm relationships. Practicing forgiveness encourages open dialogue, allowing us to reconnect and move forward with positive intent. 4. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: Admitting mistakes and asking for forgiveness is an act of humility that builds deeper connections. In the workplace, this leads to stronger bonds and a culture of mutual respect. In today’s fast-paced, competitive environment, incorporating forgiveness into our daily interactions—whether with colleagues, clients, or even competitors—can create a more compassionate and productive workplace. As we reflect on the values of Samvatsari Maha Parv, let’s embrace the power of forgiveness in our professional lives. Let’s build teams and organizations rooted in understanding, empathy, and growth. Michhami Dukkadam—I ask forgiveness if I have hurt you in any way. 🙏 If you want to know more about this festival - https://lnkd.in/dfAe6knE #forgiveness #empathy #leadership #selfdevelopment #PersonalGrowth #peace #happiness #paryushanparv #seekforgiveness #positivity

I had an enriching conversation with Solomon Kahn - reflecting on my journey as a data leader turned operator, and sharing what we are building at HelloTrace However, it’s not until 25 minutes in that we actually get to Trace! We first discuss key changes in the industry over the past decade: - The rise and “professionalization” of the data engineering discipline. - A (related?) shift in data teams’ focus on efficient production versus effective consumption. - A potential regression in the ascent of C-suite leaders with data backgrounds. Expanding on the latter two points, I add that: - We’ve made remarkable progress in constructing complex data pipelines with better technology and leaner resources. - We’ve lowered the bar for accessing data and generating dashboards, BUT - Getting to the “what’s happening” via dashboards is just the beginning of the data team’s role on the consumption side. - For sustained value creation, the data team has to be integral to reviewing business performance, answering the “why” questions, and shaping the tactics and strategy. And that's where metric trees enters the picture! Thanks for having me on, Solomon Kahn 🙏

From Astrologer's Whispers to Real Connections: Reclaiming Belonging in a Lonely Age Have you ever consulted an astrologer, their predictions swirling in your head, only to feel empty when your day takes a different turn? The emptiness might not be about the details themselves, but about seeking outside approval for your happiness. This same feeling can creep in even when you achieve success. Remember climbing the career ladder, landing that dream apartment, only to find yourself lost in a quiet emptiness? In India's bustling cities, it's a familiar, painful emotion. We're surrounded by people, yet there's a little loneliness at the edges of our lives. Thinking back to Mrs. Deshmukh, your friendly neighbour with the legendary Til Gur Barfi's, who brought the whole neighbourhood together with tea and friendly chats. Those evenings of shared stories and laughter, a web woven by simple human connection, feel like a distant memory in our super-connected yet broken world. We chase success with thumbs glued to screens, building online bridges that leave us feeling more alone than ever. The pressure to create a perfect online self-drowns out the whispers of our own desires. But here's the real deal, that shiny designation and fancy car can't fill the hole left by genuine connection. There's hope, though! We can rewrite this story. Let's ditch the small talk and chase deeper connections. Share your fears and worries, break free from feeling isolated in this sea of ambition. Remember the warmth of family gatherings, the joy of shared childhood games? Revive those small traditions. Pick up the phone for a real heart-to-heart conversation rather than What's Apping. Every act of connection, no matter how ordinary, how small, builds a more satisfying life. Imagine hearing back from an old friend, reliving an old laugh, and being surrounded by people who truly see us, where we belong. Isn't that what life is all about? Together, one conversation, one meal, and one act of kindness at a time, we can tear down the walls of loneliness. We can rewrite the narrative of modern society, where connection becomes the foundation of a life well lived. It's not too late, or is it? #HumanConnections #BelongingMatters #OvercomeLoneliness #RealConversations #MeaningfulRelationships #CommunityOverConnectivity #AuthenticLiving #SocialWellbeing #RedefiningSuccess #TraditionsRewoven #FightIsolation #VulnerableAndReal #KindnessRevolution #SmallActsBigImpact #ReconnectingHumanity #IndianSociety #UrbanLoneliness #DigitalDetox #QualityOverQuantity #ConnectionCures Photo by Tim Marshall on Unsplash
