As businesses grow and evolve, the amount of data they generate can become overwhelming. Sales teams, in particular, may struggle to keep track of customer information, sales data, and inventory without a reliable system in place. Accurate data entry can provide a solution to this problem, and can have a positive impact on sales in several ways.

Improved Customer Targeting
One of the most significant benefits of accurate data entry is the ability to identify and target the right customers. By recording customer preferences, purchase history, and other relevant information, sales reps can gain insights into the products or services that are likely to interest each customer. This information can help sales reps tailor their sales pitches and offer personalized recommendations to each customer, increasing the chances of a successful sale.

Better Sales Forecasting
Accurate data entry can also provide sales teams with valuable insights into past sales performance, enabling them to make more informed decisions about future sales strategies. By analyzing trends and patterns in sales data, sales reps can develop more accurate sales forecasts and adjust their approach as needed. This can help them anticipate changes in demand, adjust pricing strategies, and make other strategic decisions that can lead to increased sales.

Streamlined Sales Processes
Data entry can also help streamline sales processes by providing a centralized database of customer information, inventory, and sales data. This can help sales reps quickly find the information they need and reduce the amount of time spent on administrative tasks, freeing them up to focus on selling. By automating certain tasks, such as order processing and inventory management, sales teams can improve efficiency and reduce errors, ultimately leading to increased sales.

Improved Customer Service
Finally, accurate data entry can lead to improved customer service, which can have a positive impact on sales. By recording customer interactions, preferences, and feedback, sales reps can gain insights into the needs and concerns of each customer. This can help them anticipate questions or issues that may arise, and proactively address them. By providing a high level of personalized service, sales reps can build trust and rapport with customers, ultimately leading to increased sales.

In conclusion, accurate data entry is a critical component of a successful sales strategy. By providing valuable insights into customer preferences, sales performance, and inventory management, data entry can help sales teams improve their targeting, forecasting, and efficiency. With the right systems in place, businesses can leverage the power of data to increase sales and drive growth.
Surviving Months Without a Keyboard
Published: 2023-03-03 10:24:41

Do you spend a lot of time working on a computer? If so, you’re not alone. Many people in the IT industry rely on computers for work and leisure. But have you ever considered what would happen if you couldn’t use a keyboard for several months?

I recently experienced this firsthand when my primary hand started to hurt 24/7. Sleepless nights full of pain and inability to do anything with my right hand. Considering it from today’s point of view, my inability to use the keyboard was just a minor nuisance.

Yes, I could still write with my left hand, but did you ever try that? Writing more than a paragraph was traumatic because of the slow pace and constant need to check for typos. It’s frustrating.

My doctor initially tried to immobilise my hand and prescribed painkillers, but the problem persisted.

Unfortunately, seeing an orthopedist took almost three months because of the high demand for them. Ultimately, it took him ten minutes and one injection to restore some of my hand function. That doesn’t mean my hand is OK and I can do anything like before. I still struggle with tasks like turning keys in locks and opening bottles.

While waiting those three months, I’ve gotten help from an ambulance surgeon specialising in hands. He diagnosed me with arthritis in my thumb joint and inflamed tendons in my palm. He gave me another brace from my general doctor and some anti-inflammatory meds.

I share my experience not to elicit sympathy but to warn others about the importance of caring for your hands. Investing in ergonomic equipment like a comfortable mouse and keyboard can prevent injury and promote good hand health, whether in an office or home. Also, rest your hands and do not overload them as I did.

After talking to the doctors, I understood that the excessive use of mice, which Windows forces you a lot, can significantly strain your hands and cause repetitive strain injuries if not arthrosis. As someone who has mainly used Linux and relied on keyboard shortcuts for years, I found the frequent use of a mouse in Windows, which my employer required me to use, frustrating and detrimental to my health.

Hand injuries can be a massive problem for a computer user. They can be costly regarding lost productivity and medical expenses, so it’s worth preventative measures like investing in a proper ergonomic keyboard and mouse – but even that can’t save you from a chronic overload of your hands – it can just postpone the problems. Regularly performing hand exercises is vital to keep your hands healthy and preventing injuries.

Your hands are your most valuable tools; neglecting them can have serious consequences.

## Progress

### chores

[invalid module names errors have been improved](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21412), it now says that a module name must be a valid Nim identifier.

[fixes the linkerexe of riscv64 in config](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21292).

[csources_v2 can build the ORC-booted compiler; building now uses strict mode](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21292).

[saves one unnecessary compare which is also a small regression](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21413).

[closes #17864; add a test case](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21434).

[use {.push warning[BareExcept]:off.} to override settings temporarily](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21390).

### Nim now parses the whole module at one time

[fixes #19795; fixes #11852; fixes #19974; remove parsing pipeline, Nim now parses the whole module at one time](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21379)

#### destructor analysis

Now the destructor analysis can analyze the whole module at one time, which means the declarations won't affect the analysis of global variables.

```nim
type Vector = seq[int]

var vect: Vector = newSeq[int](5)
doAssert vect == @[0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

let vectCopy = vect
proc p(): int = 3

doAssert vect == @[0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
```

You don't need to put the global statements to a function anymore. It can be run with ARC/ORC as it is.

#### push pragmas

`push` pragmas now work within functions.

```nim
proc foo(x: string, y: int, res: int) =
  {.push checks: off}
  var a: ptr char = unsafeAddr(x[y])
  {.pop.}
  if x.len > y:
    doAssert ord(a[]) == 51
  else:
    doAssert x.len + 48 == res

foo("", 0, 48)
foo("abc", 40, 51)
```

### fixes object with distinct defaults or `initTable` defaults

[fixes #20695; fixes object with distinct defaults and tables](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21428).

```nim
import std/[tables, times]

block:
  block:
    type
      Default = object
        tabs: Table[string, int] = initTable[string, int]()

    let d = default(Default)
    doAssert d.tabs.len == 0

  block:
    type DjangoDateTime = distinct DateTime

    type Default = object
      data: DjangoDateTime = DjangoDateTime(DateTime())

    let x = default(Default)
    doAssert x.data is DjangoDateTime
```

All of them now works.

### Work in progress

[Overrides =copy for PackedSets](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21417).

[abolish using passes in the compiler; simplify compilation pipeline](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21402).

[fixes #21326; fixes #7375; fixes #11986; fixes #9607; `getAst` uses type info to annotate the type of quoted variables; no more type erasures for quoted variables](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21433).

My Nim Development Weekly Report (2/19)
Tags: nim
Published: 2023-03-03 10:16:46

First of all, the Nim development follows [The Roadmap 2023](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/503), which specifies
what features might be implemented or removed in 2023. As we can see, completing incremental compilation and recursive module dependencies
might be the most important tasks to be done in 2023. You might subscribe to the roadmap and write down your expectations of Nim in 2023 there.

## What have I done in the past week

I work on all kinds of problems such as bugs, features, clean-ups and most importantly the roadmap.

### Clean-ups

[fixes comments about type bound operations](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21373)


[remove legacy code; the first iteration now can build Nim with cpp backend](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21373)


[closes #1072; add a test case](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21396)


[use {.push warning[BareExcept]:off.} to override settings temporarily](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21390)


[add deprecated warnings for {.deadcodeelim: on.}](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21277) because the dead code elimination is always on.


### Bug fixing


[fixes #21360; discarding empty seqs/arrays now raises errors](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21374)


### Features


[fixes #19291; implements `wasMoved` hook](fixes #19291; implements `wasMoved` hook)


### Roadmap


[fixes #19795; fixes #11852; remove parsing pipeline, Nim now parses the whole module at one time](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/21379) which now is listed on the roadmap and is the first step towards removing the need of forward declarations, which also fixes push pragmas within procs and fixes procs/iterators declarations disturbing the destructors analysis. 


**Potential implications**

- Top level `{.experimental: "codeReordering".}` won't work anymore, you must pass it to the command line. This is beyond repair with the new parsing strategy.

- `{.overflowChecks: on.}` and `{.overflowChecks: off.}`,  which were misused to override settings temporarily, won't work like before anymore. The last `overflowChecks` setting will decide whether overflow checks will be enabled.


## What you could contribute to 


[nimble develop -g doesn't work](https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/issues/1069) A possible solution is to add "g" to where "global" is placed.


[add changelog for nimble 0.14.0 breaking changes](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/21392)


[remove `codeReordering` in `db_connector/db_sqlite`](https://github.com/nim-lang/db_connector/issues/16) Replace `codeReordering` with forward declarations.

Load Balancing: The Key to Scaling Your Applications
Tags: loadbalacing, computerscience, algorithms
Published: 2023-03-03 10:00:00

Load balancing is the process of distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure that no single server is overwhelmed. By using load balancing, developers can achieve scalability, reliability, and fault tolerance in their applications.

## **What is Load Balancing?**

Load balancing is the process of distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure that no single server is overwhelmed. This is done by a load balancer, a device or software that sits between the client and the servers.

There are different types of load balancing methods, such as:

- Round-robin
- Least connections
- IP hash
- Least response time

The load balancer uses these methods to distribute the traffic to the servers, ensuring that the load is distributed evenly and that no single server is overwhelmed.

## **The Benefits of Load Balancing**

Load balancing provides numerous benefits for software development, including:

- **Scalability:** By distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers, load balancing can handle an increasing amount of load and traffic without a decrease in performance.
- **Reliability:** By distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers, load balancing can achieve fault tolerance and continue to function even if one or more servers fail.
- **Performance:** By distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers, load balancing can achieve better performance and response times for the user.
- **Flexibility:** By distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers, load balancing can be more flexible and easier to maintain.

## **An Example: A Social Media Platform**

An example of load balancing is a social media platform. The platform consists of multiple servers that handle the processing and storage of the user's data. These servers are connected to a load balancer that distributes the incoming network traffic among them.

The load balancer uses a round-robin method to distribute the traffic to the servers, ensuring that the load is distributed evenly and that no single server is overwhelmed. By using load balancing, the platform can handle a large number of users and a high volume of traffic without a decrease in performance.

## **Conclusion**

Load balancing is the process of distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure that no single server is overwhelmed. By using load balancing, developers can achieve scalability, reliability, and fault tolerance in their applications. Start exploring the world of load balancing and see how it can benefit your software development process. Load balancing is an essential component of any scalable system, and it's important to consider it from the early stages of development to guarantee the success of your application.
Adding Auto-Complete Feature in VS Code terminal
Tags: webdev, tutorial, programming, productivity
Published: 2023-03-03 09:57:05

PowerShell 7 is the latest version of PowerShell, and it brings many new features and enhancements that make it an attractive choice for developers and system administrators alike.

One of its most useful features is the auto-complete feature, which can save you time and reduce typing errors. In this article, we'll show you how to add the auto-complete feature using PowerShell 7 in Visual Studio Code (VS Code).

**How it works?**
Actually there is no AI or magic, but this terminal auto completes based on bash history and tries to auto complete the command you used most frequently.

**Step 1: Install PowerShell 7:**

First, you'll need to install PowerShell 7 on your system. You can download the latest version from the official [PowerShell website](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows?view=powershell-7.3). Once downloaded, install it by following the installation wizard.

Supported versions of windows

![Supported versions of windows](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/dxev4rxp2diwnqvromb8.png)

**Step 2: Add PowerShell 7 in VS Code**

```json
{
  "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "PowerShell 7",
  "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
    "Command Prompt": {
      "args": [],
      "icon": "terminal-cmd",
      "path": [
        "${env:windir}\\Sysnative\\cmd.exe",
        "${env:windir}\\System32\\cmd.exe"
      ]
    },
    "Git Bash": {
      "source": "Git Bash"
    },
    "PowerShell": {
      "icon": "terminal-powershell",
      "source": "PowerShell"
    },
    "PowerShell 7": {
      "args": [],
      "icon": "terminal-powershell",
      "path": "C:\\Program Files\\PowerShell\\7\\pwsh.exe"
    }
  },
}
```
Note: Path may vary if you have choose different installation location. Here I followed all the default settings while installing

We added new profile **PowerShell 7** in terminal and set as default one.

One of the most essential and inevitable obstacles any organisation faces multiple times throughout its life cycle is the need for change. Organisational transformation requires empowerment and participation at all levels. As one of the team’s leaders, you must practice the E’s of Leadership. Empower, Enhance,  Enable, and Engage. Empowerment is based on the idea that providing team members with the resources, authority, opportunity, and motivation to do their work and holding them accountable for their actions will make the team happier and more proficient. As a leader, there is a fine line between holding and letting it go. In other words, allowing others to take leadership of their roles results in high impact and positive long-term effects for the company and its individuals. All the results of these Actions do tune the culture of the Organisation. But remember that building a culture that supports team empowerment doesn’t come overnight. When it comes to empowerment in the workplace, it’s all about communicating the right messages to the right person at the right time and in the right way. For example, you may be sharing the right messages, but if you don’t communicate them correctly, you may not get your message through! There are plenty of definitions of great leaders. But they all have one thing in common: great leaders are great communicators. Improving communication and knowledge sharing in the workplace is crucial to foster a culture of empowerment and improvement as a leader. Winning the change fight is much more likely with truly empowered team members that lead the change.

GitLab's Integration with AWS CodePipeline for ECS
Published: 2023-03-03 09:01:11


## GitLab's Integration with AWS CodePipeline for ECS

Aws codepipeline provides integration with most of the third-party repositories but for Gitlab’s the pipeline doesn’t supports the build in integration therefore it becomes challenging for developers to have a complete stack set of CICD pipeline.

This blog is more about how we can overcome this challenge and build a complete end-to-end pipeline. There are different ways to achieve this. Here we are using one of the easiest technique

The following diagram depicts how the CICD pipeline is set up for GitLab’s using s3 as a source and its different components

![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2476/1*qBnbcVlaPNSKT3sIhQfKfQ.png)

In order to integrate Gitlabs with Code Pipeline, the GitLab gives us a provision to do this by using the **.gitlab-ci.yml** file. The GitLab file should include the script with the required set of IAM Permission to S3 bucket which allows users to push the Object to s3 bucket. The file should be included under the project repository.

Therefore, whenever the developer commits the code into the GitLab’s repository with the use of GitLab-ci.yaml file which contains the script to push the repo code to the desired s3 bucket. Once the Object is uploaded into the s3 bucket the Code Pipeline has an event that is S3 as a source which in turn helps to trigger the pipeline and later executes the rest of the phases for the code pipeline will be executed.

**Steps**

 1. Create the S3 Bucket. This bucket will be used to push the object.

 2. Create the gitlab yaml file which includes the below scripts.

![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2452/1*h5e3omx9IV5Sbb-LxdDF-A.png)

The above sample contains the variables and script. Script bascially includes the logic to upload the code to S3 bucket. Gitlabs provides the pre-defined variables like **CI_COMMIT_SHORT_SHA**. This commit code can be used to reterive the last commit hash made to the repository. We can used this commit hash code as a tagging to the bucket.

3. Create the IAM user which has permissions permisson to S3 bucket to put object as well as put object tagging.We are adding tag to a bucket with the commit hash code which help us in order to back trace any request in case of any issues.

![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*LuJRgbLygrp6PY1xFMXKEw.png)

5. Configure the AccesskeyID, AccessSecretkey in Gitlabs under Secret Variables.AWS Cli will automatically consume these varaibles whenever the scripts executes in order to upload the files as a zip to S3 bucket.

![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2524/1*nFCD8C52TT7f0tLncI7V7w.png)

5. At last create the Codepipeline with S3 as source with Build and deploy steps.

## Conclussion:

This is one of the easist techique which overcomes the challenges to setup end to end CICD pipeline quickly.
