Taming corespeechd

Is corespeechd burning your CPU? Read this. A couple of days ago I found my MBP was running fan all the time. Usually it is silent, but not any more. A quick check on Activity Monitor showed, it is a process called corespeechd — consuming something like 60% of the CPU. After a bit of research on Google, StackOverflow, Reddit & all other forums, below steps solved the problem. By the way, read more only if you are not using Siri on your Mac.

Found My iPhone!

Today, my wife lost her phone when we stepped out for a walk. When we noticed she lost it, we were already well into 2 hours since we walked. Thanks to “Find My Phone” feature from Apple & a good samaritan, we found it 2 streets away from home. They had placed it on a wall. Playing sound feature helped us to locate it. 5 minutes of panic time until we located & felt so good after we found it. Thanks to Apple! A fantastic product experience & we used every bit of it!

RCA — Ask How instead of Why

The other day, I bumped into this article The infinite hows by John Allspaw (CTO of etsy). It is about postmortem or Root Cause Analysis (RCA) when an operational incident occurs in a software application. Though, it is an old article I felt the thought process is still valid for current times. We do RCA in my current company and we ask the question of “Five Whys” to arrive at the root cause. Sometimes it goes beyond 5 Whys to 7 or 10 whys.
