Citizen action works. Inspired by @caleb_friesen and @Virendra0698, I reported my first pothole this week. This is at Nehru Circle near Malleshwaram. Reported 27th Oct. Resurfaced 30th Oct. Thanks to @GBA_office and Assistant Engineer Ningappa Kadakol for the quick response.

The best part, I used @usefaff to report this issue. I gave it a google maps pin with the coordinates visible and a few pictures of the pothole from different angles. @usefaff found the right ward, submitted a ticket on the Sahaaya portal and gave me a daily update.

When I was 16, a group of kids from school and I embarked on a 10 day, 750 kms bicycle ride from Bengaluru to Chennai and back.

Current state of EV charging infrastructure in the US. Most fast chargers are in a big box store parking lot, without even a garbage can. #roadtrip

Our family of four has been living and hiking at different national parks each month since May. We’ve grown our collection of National Park cancellation stamps. We're building something to guide other enthusiasts to stamp locations easily. Check it out. np-stamps.netlify.app/
Spent a few hours at Isamu Noguchi’s playscape in Atlanta’s Piedmont park today. I heard about his designs on @99piorg when my daughter was learning to walk and playground visits were becoming a family ritual. This visit made me feel like a kid too. 99percentinvisible.org/episo…

Today felt a little more normal. I vacuumed and mopped and we hiked 2 miles with Snape from the @CityofSanMarcos Animal Shelter and he’s a good boy and I hope he finds a forever home soon.

Completely agree with this. It makes more sense to focus on a higher functional test coverage metric.
100% unit test coverage is for folks with too much time on their hands. End-to-end tests are cheaper and more effective for less effort. 80-100% those instead.
