If you reached this blog searching for some technical data on MTBF, you are in the wrong place.
I was in a discussion the other day with an EDA vendor discussing sync flip flops and MTBF and realized that this concept applies to us as well. How many times in a day does your brain reach a meta stable state where you cannot decide what you want to do, or if you want to do something or not. Trying to correlate with flip flops which are more a part of my life than my girlfriend, I think we reach this state when a stimulus hits us before we are in a position to take it, i.e., when life violates our setup or hold time. In a new team now, trying to work with a bunch of guys who have been doing this for the past 5 to six years and there is no sync flop between me and the rest of the team. Going into meta stable state every now and then

First Blog
This is definitely not my first blog, but this is my first blog on this page.
Today was the most productive day of my life. I broke my own record of the longest
perl script which does nothing. that is correct, this script actually consumes all the memory available without accomplishing anything. My manager on the other hand, broke his own previous record of the longest meeting which accomplished nothing.............
I sometimes wonder why people don't see through all these managers. Their vocabulary is limited to a very few words
1. Are we on top of everything for the release?
2. The goal is to stay ahead of the curve
3. The idea is to better leverage on the potential of the group
4. Where are we in terms of our goals and deliverables?
5. How is this new algorithm going to help solve our customers problems better?
6. The primary focus of the group remains unchanged
7. We have to try to see beyond our domain
8. What are our learnings, looking at the previous development cycle and what are our plans moving forward
I was actually in a meeting the other day, where 16 people talked for over one hour by randomly picking a statement from the above listed 8.
