About manishjhawar

I'm a programmer who fell in love with computers and programming at 13 c.1988 learning BASIC on the BBC Micro B at school. Within a year, I was copying big programs (games and utilities) from books and mags, translating to BBC BASIC along the way. Soon, I was writing ones of my own: games, puzzles, mazes, database utils with random disk i/o, graphic screen dumps (as they were called then) to the dot-matrix printer (fx-80), banners, music demos, teletext mode quizzes, etc. Heck, I even taught myself 6502 assembly!

Today, having worn many hats, I'm mostly involved with full-stack platforms and infrastructure work in the Linux ecosystem to glue together a plethora of solutions leveraging open source tools and stacks with as little programming as possible myself :-(

    Can you please name the app? I've tried all I could find on Oneplus 2 & 6 but couldn't get the call recording working.

    +1 too :-) I'm using NixOS happily since 2014 after getting messed up in pacman dependencies on Arch and haven't looked back. But their too radical shift from LSB makes for a less …

    How about putting a link to the real job post instead of "instructions on where to send your resume" hidden in the application?
