The first time I tried out converging skills to woodworking, it was a miracle I got anything done at all, too worried about getting the wood working piece right, it never occurred to me that the piece was incidental – it was the skills that mattered the most. This was even at the expense of ruining the expensive wood, teak incidentally that I was working on. It is better to work on ply boards or MDF for this. Convergence of skills to wood working is truly Baptism into true blue HR that I was to become later on. The years 2014-16 were monumental for Online Coding Practice. I am beginning to understand that to be a Coding Skill evaluator I would need to work with programmers who are looking for Online Coding Practice. This implies that they would have to be practicing their code while I work on wood to get to their coding skill levels.
The word “Baptism” conjures up memories, nay, it is the Christian equivalent of an “outward display of an inwards experience”. What was going inside of me when I took to wood, I will try to bring out into my conscious, it was the harshness of life that caused me to go into wood working, the daily toil, not reaching anywhere with my thoughts, even verbal diarrhea was not enough to let loose my frustration at not getting anywhere in life. The first piece I made was a wood foot stool from teak wood, though the picture below is a prototype of the slant cutting jig, I called the Ozymyth jig.
I had a wood working router, I had purchased on Amazon.in and I worked to get the cuts, the mortises and tenons and dovetails right with it.
I had no idea who it was that did the foot stool, though I tend to take credit for it, next was a coffee table which didn’t even compare to the foot stool, you might say beginners luck, if wood working has taught me something it is that my work with coders involved in Online Coding Practice requires:
All the three things were not part of my character, even now you see me go up proud to my first wood working pieces, as if they were really me, as I grew up I realized never to run after fame and glory, my personality type is one of The Anonymous Reaper and I prefer it that way. When you have done all the hard work with wood during the day, I can promise you one thing – A Good Nights sleep.
This is done in teak wood, Burmese teak and was the first piece I made, normally it is so with most wood workers, it has three mortises and slanted tenons. The beauty of the piece is that it is Online Coding Practice and woodworking at their best, I think it was done for PwC recruitment. All it takes is to think of coding while you wood work. I can list a number of coding practice websites, but nothing beats working with a coding evaluator while you practice coding.
I tended to think I evolved into being a Convergence artist, but I stowed away all my theories on evolution and instead today choose to believe that it was an intelligent design in my life that caused it to happen. Our brains are wired in such a way that we know even when we don’t know, and this intelligent design led me on to Convergence. I really ought to talk about this grand term that is an illusion as well a hallucination of my mind, but will not in this post, as a matter of fact, I will not till I have it said, that, “you are a convergence artist and do good work with programmers engaged in Online Coding Practice.”
My hands move to a rhythm, I think to myself, “Perhaps the day will end on this depressive note that I find myself in,” this might be the day that would epitomize all my struggles, it’s a cold night of 8th November 2015 and I get a phone call, still more depression, it is from somebody I don’t like, “don’t pick it up,” my mind screams, and I don’t. Honestly, the truth is, I went into wood working because, my mind screams again, “You wanted to impress her.”
Do you think, things have changed over the years? I believe that nothing changes over time, the reasons for this is Gods sovereign over “nothing” too. Ex Nihilo Nihil fit, which means Out of Nothing, comes nothing. The intelligent design in my life knew from the beginning that I was meant to be in Convergence, it’s my realization of this that is thought to be the change, but if you believe in a Top-Down methodology as opposed to Grounds up, you would say, “Hey! the intelligent design has remained the same for billions of years, so effectively nothing has changed.” There is really this thing to consider that a a “6 inch worm can’t evolve into a human being with a spine,” even if it is in a few billion years. Now this thought always gives me a good nights sleep.
