Catalog of All My Articles on Medium
Bringing order to chaos is a superpower. In different situations, one can apply it in different magnitudes.
The new UI of Medium isn’t helpful when readers try to navigate to older articles in a writer’s profile. So, creating a living index here and updating it every time I publish something new.

Will it be useful?
When I think of pair programmers, I think of two buddies sitting together using a single computer and going through an activity loop involving talking, typing, and having coffee. And two weeks ago, I came across the following tweet by Github.
Yup, that’s right. It generates code out of nowhere. When they described it as an AI Pair Programmer, I thought it would be more of an advanced autocorrection tool for programming languages. Never expected it to suggest entire lines or functions.
The official name of the tool is Copilot

The Reality of Fears and a Fictional Character
A phobia isn’t something to be laughed at. Yet, some of them are quite odd that many people find such fears too weird to exit. That is until they actually meet someone who has the phobia.
Sheldon Cooper, the fictional character played by Jim Parsons in The Big Bang Theory needs no introduction. Along with his many unique traits, a handful of phobias that he possesses have also been mentioned, enacted, and laughed at in various episodes.
Let’s begin with Alektorophobia or fear of chickens
Young Sheldon didn’t really have a good relation with his neighbor who owned a rather cruel chicken.

Many Things Actually
“Don’t we already have helicopters?” I asked myself when I first heard about flying cars. What’s the fuss about having a new compact vehicle that can fly?
Apparently, a flying car is a vehicle that can both run on the road and fly in the sky. No, not like the run that aircraft has before a takeoff. Flying cars can act like normal cars on road and as well as fly while taking you from home to the office. Yes, we all wished for it at least once when we were stuck in a traffic jam.
The dream was first noted in 1936 by Henry Ford when he displayed “sky flivver”, a single-seat aeroplane
It had multiple technical…
Looking at Group Development From the Perspective of Educational Psychology
Team members don’t always have the same kind of relationships at different stages of the project.
In the beginning, they may be strangers and by the time of the project closure, they might be good friends or even foes depending on how well the project goes.
There is a famous theory that narrates the unavoidable phases for a team to grow, face challenges, solve problems and deliver results together. It’s called Bruce Tuckman’s phases of group development.
