Hi Friends!

Greetings from Mumbai!

This past week, last week was productive and more and more learning for me.

I wrote multiple micro essays on different topics. Insipired from writers like David Perell and Seth Godin.

If you want to keep up with my writing, follow me on Twitter.

Here is this week’s Saturday-Pentacle. Enjoy!

Issue 211 // Week 8 // 2022

A good resource if you want to learn about GitHub —

Getting started with GitHub – I’ve been tinkering with NoCode tools but while doing that I stumbled upon GitHub once again. I’ve used version control systems before, but never got around working with GitHub on any of my previous projects.

What made me wonder was it’s not just that you can use it for code and development pipelines, but also for documentation and version controlling of documentation.

In their getting started page there is a lot of good info to get started with version controlling and related stuff like –

Create and use a repository
Start and manage a new branch
Make changes to a file and push them to GitHub as commits
Open and merge a pull request

If you are curious about GitHub, this is a good time you get started.

My recent LinkedIn Article —

Managing Turbulence – We all face highs and lows in our lives. But we never know how long each phase might last. In this article, I try to explore that, how to manage turbulence? What we can do to avoid such situations and if not avoidable – how we can prepare ourselves to get through them?

A Tweet thread I loved —

I loved this thread by RomeenSheth. His thoughts on the world’s most valueable skill, check it out.

The world's most valuable skill:

Clarity of thought.

The problem? There's no school for this.

It takes time, patience and a lot of early career fumbling.

Here are 10 cognitive distortions I faced early in my career and an insight on how to break through each one:

A podcast episode I loved —

Boyd Varty — The Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life (#571) – and when you think there are no more interesting podcast epiosdes coming up with great storytelling, there comes this one.

Boyd is really a Lion Tracker and there are a lot of stories in this episode, but a terryfying story of plane crashes in his childhood start from 12:55. Check it out, I promise you’ll burst out laughing.

Quote which I found meaningful –

Writing solidifies your learning, so if you feel like you’re forgetting most of what you consume, you should probably write more.

Until Next Saturday!
