If you work in software, chances are you’ve felt it at some point. The industry moves fast, tools change constantly, and it’s impossible to know everything. Add in domain expertise and other requirements, and you’re bound to feel lost.

But here’s the twist, it’s not a bad thing!!

When you shift your mindset, imposter syndrome can actually become your biggest driver for growth.
In my latest post, I share:

Ways of Working: Different Management Styles Across Cultures

Farzan — Sun, 19 Oct 2025 16:03:52 +0000

One of the hardest things I’ve had to figure out in my career is how differently people make decisions at work across cultures.

In some countries, managers decide, teams execute but in some places this doesn't always work.

At first, it was confusing. Was I being rude for making a quick decision? Or too passive for waiting?

Over time, I realized it’s not about which culture is right or wrong, it’s about learning when to decide fast and when to open the floor.

Too much control can slow innovation and kind of create chaos in its own way.
Too much freedom can create chaos.

The magic is in finding the balance.

I wrote more about this — the lessons, the cultural surprises, and what I learned from both worlds — in mynew post

I made a simple vscode extension for json comparison

If you have two JSON files that should be identical but are hard to compare due to the unordered nature of JSON, this VSCode extension can help by sorting then comparing them making it easier to focus on real content differences.

This extension sorts JSON files before comparison to make it easier to spot the differences in JSON files.

We’ve just published a blog post about how we rebuilt our 3D viewer from scratch, enhancing performance, flexibility, and user experience.

In this post, we dive into the challenges we encountered and the strategies we used to engineer faster rendering, smoother interactions, and better adaptability for future features.

🎥👀 Check out the demo video at the end to see some of the exciting features we’ve integrated into the new viewer!
