Great Feeling

Hi Guyz,

I spend my past couple of days in big trouble with the database, tried lot of ideas and techniques to fine tune the database. For a while I was frustrated and curse myself that after having good industry experience, excellent technical knowledge and having big sites on my profile how this can be happen.

Last late night I worked with Onkar and Swapnil and tried couple of quick fixes by which my program won’t get the server down again and decided what to do at tomorrow morning with the queries which are responsible. Spend my whole night thinking about this.

Woke up and told Shweta that I think my programmer are only doing the things which I told them to do they are not using their brains; and this is awful situation. I am worried though everything is running so good, as usual she said “don’t worry I know you will settle the things”.

Came to office, was continually thinking “I believe, I hire only good efficient people who are good at their jobs though they are not so good in Technical aspect. In my past experience I have learnt; you cant create the person who is good performer at his Job. This is something should be in the instinct.”

After an hour I saw Swapnil was not doing which I told him to or what he suppose to do then I asked him about the same. He said “I am still wondering why these queries are not working, these are pretty simple one matching only 600 records, I want to show you something” and he has showen me that what’s causing the problem, that’s something wrong table level indexing technique which was unfocused since past 12 hours of direct and indirect investigation. I only said “Good” and instructed them for further related task and left away.

But in my mind I am feeling very proud and extremely happy that YES I have the performers not workers. Only performer can think the same way not a worker.

Congratulations to Team and Special Congratulations to Swapnil.

Keep it Up.
