    Bugs are the bane of any software developer’s life. Many of us would much rather focus on adding new functionality than fixing things that are broken. It’s sad truth in engineering that a vast majority of time is often spent isolating and squashing bugs. I’ve come across two bugs which…

    Today’s inaugural Low-Key Hillclimb ride took us up Montebello Road. I had ridden the climb three days prior with my former co-worker, Jorge. There were a little over 50 riders, and the vast majority of them looked really good. I was a late-comer to the world of cycling, having picked…
