Finally, I am starting a newsletter! Presenting .... *drumroll*

By Meghna Bhave • Issue #1 • View online

Hello!

Welcome to the community! This is super exciting to me. I have a lot to share, and not all of it finds its place in the articles I write.

So why Off-by-One? Well in the world of programming, Off-by-One is a common error, where a loop executes one time too many (or too less) due to a boundary condition. Usually, an easy adjustment of the condition fixes the bug.

This newsletter is for those off-by-one errors in our lives. Easy adjustments, slight shifts in perceptions, and micro-improvements that make life better. I’d like to share stories from tech, productivity, and life that resonated with me, and what I picked from them that made life all the nicer.
