Hi, I’m Mayank Gupta.

Here you’ll find my ramblings about Web Strategy, Digital Experience Platforms (DXP), Web Development, Marketing Technology, Team Management, Leadership, and a little bit about my life.


What others says about me?

Also impressive is the constant and continued enthusiasm Mayank brings to his work and workplace, – I have seldom seen someone so consistently go the extra mile and doing so with a smile and swing in his step.

~ Nik Crosina

I usually introduce him to my colleagues and friends as someone who has answers to all my questions that Google doesn’t. With Mayank, it’s that feeling where you know someone is always there to get everything back on track, you just need to mention it to him!

    Unlock n8n’s Full Potential on Mac Studio: Role of Metal API, Secure Cloudflare Tunnels, and Continuous Operation with PM2

    I read Emotional Intelligence 2.0 back in 2018, and made a point of deciding I wouldn’t let fear dictate my life. But lately this feeling started creeping in – that lost, uneasy feeling, mixed with the fear of the unknown, and honestly, the worry about AI taking over jobs. It was hitting me and a…

    Heading to WordCamp US: A 20-Year WordPress Story

    It feels…full circle, honestly. I’m actually going to WordCamp US 2025. And it’s hitting me, this little wave of – well, not just excitement, but recognition. Like, twenty years. Twenty years I’ve been tangled up in the WordPress ecosystem. It’s almost comical when I think about it. I remember stumbling onto it back in the…

    How to easily transfer files from Android to MacOS without USB

    While, Jack has done a great job in listing here the two methods to transfer files between an Android & a Mac – the issue that I faced was that to follow both the methods I’d have to arrange for USB C to USB adapter and that somehow didn’t feel right with all these wireless…

    The software is wrong, not the people!

    Quoted below is the whole post that I published back in 2011. And of course me being me, I let it die with the previous versions of this site. And if not for the archive.org, this would’ve been lost completely. Thank you Archive.org! Due to WordPress Vs WPEngine debacle, which has been covered in depth…

    The Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness

    It’s a very practical book and a must read/listen for anyone and everyone. If anything – this book should be taught in schools, say 10th to 12th grade students. That way, they’ll learn about the reality of finance, investing and money management at just the right age – where it won’t be too overwhelming for…

    OS war is truly over!

    Back in the Reviewsauarus days, I wrote a blog post, which became popular thanks to Digg (anyone remembers it?). The post was about Windows Vs Linux and in it, I had to defend Windows even though it was the most popular desktop OS at the time with more than 98% market share. At the time,…

    Wardley Mapping – Business strategy made easy

    The world of business strategy got a lot more interesting when Simon Wardley decided to share the mapping technique through his book – Wardley Maps. Simon was kind enough to release this book for free and I’d highly recommend reading it. What are Wardley Maps? Wardley Maps, is a strategic thinking and communication tool used…
