A little about me

Hello! I am Prady. Welcome to my corner of the internet. This site serves as my technical diary where I document short, practical articles -- sharing useful commands, concepts, tips and tricks from my professional life.

Things I encounter daily that require searching the internet for answers -- those are exactly the things I write about here, so others (and future me) can find them quickly.

Posts are kept short -- typically 1-2 minute reads focused on a single useful concept or command.
