The analogy between engineers and the carpenters will help us to understand the role of software engineering and how to solve engineering problems.
Last year, I had a good conversation with my senior. During our conversation, he told me the metaphor that Software Engineers are basically Carpenters. What??… I was shocked for a while.

Describes how to use available tools for blogging and launch a personal blog with a customised domain without paying any penny.
As I promised in my previous article “How I have relaunched my website?”, I will show you the best and quick way to launch your blog.

This is a story about how I lost my website domain, what was happened with it and how I have relaunched my website.
I had my website on https://mayurkumar.info. I had put all my blogs and other free resources to download on this domain. I have done good SEO on my site and as a result, I was able to receive on an average 7–10k visits every month. Most of the visits were direct from Google. I was happy with that and was getting enough opportunities to work with those users. But, last year, I lost my domain.
