Exactly 8 years ago, I discovered a security flaw in Gaana, and reported it to @satyan, and they were kind enough to reward me with a bounty. That motivated me and I reported security flaws in 40+ companies after that including Telegram, Redbus and many more Gaana's parent company Times Internet put me on a retainer for a few months, they're India's largest digital products company, I reported security flaws in their subsidiary companies, which formally kickstarted my security career and there was no looking back. I was 17 and knew nothing about how the world of finance works. With all the money I made I started trading Ethereum, arbitraging and invested in altcoins. I mined bitcoins on my school computers in 2013, so was always fascinated about crypto. I've always been a security maximalist, but haven't been much active in it lately, I aim to focus more on security in the coming months. I stumbled upon security by clicking on a random youtube video titled "How to code a virus" and then here I am today. The quote tweet below is what changed my life
Replying to @satyan
@satyangajwani I have discovered a major vulnerability in Gaana And I would like to get in touch with you to disclose it.

the number is misleading, it is just a random number estimation founders don't need to make their unlisted sell proceeds public, so only way is ask the founders how much they made, they can't interview 248K founders throwing random numbers to sound cool.
88% of VC-backed founders who exited their companies got $0. Eduardo Azevedo and Kent Smetters analysed 157,669 startups and 248,454 founders from 1987 to 2025. Let that sink in...

when people don't have real achievements like 10x better latency than competitors, they start moving the goalposts to things like having a loving family and being happy with your life

i need the confidence of polygon taking a shot at stripe
Watching big companies scramble to glue together a stablecoin payments stack they never actually built together is painful. At Polygon we’ve never had that problem. We built the Open Money Stack as one product from the very beginning, with one team and one roadmap. Even acquisitions immediately fit into it. When someone wants to talk about onramps and then has questions about wallets or cross-chain transfers, they stay with the same people. You want a custom chain, same team. You want dedicated blockspace, same team. You want a stablecoin checkout flow in your app, same team. You want an insanely crazy custom unique solution that requires multiple domain experts to work together--again, same team. There’s no handoff, no separate wallet team or chain team or checkout team, and no one telling them to talk to someone else. We’re smaller, we move faster, we're more global and we came out of crypto with deep payments experience already in the building. That combination is difficult to assemble after the fact, and it’s why the conversations we have with customers tend to stay in one place from the first call to the last.

elon said he'd said human's to mars on spacex rockets by 2025, any update on that yet?
SpaceX will capture an asteroid with more gold than Earth's crust and land Optimus robots carrying American flags on Mars within 8 years. Starship parks Psyche in geosynchronous orbit over an American Pacific atoll. No humans within 50 miles. Optimus robots extract the metals. Delivery to Earth is free though some burns up on entry. Bezos said 15 years ago Earth gets zoned residential as heavy industry moves to space. Vast distances make emissions irrelevant. The same fleet lands on Mars in 8 years max. Optimus robots deploy solar panels, batteries, compute, and Starlinks for 4K video before humans arrive. SpaceX moves the factories off the planet.

this is what i call code written by most devs pre-ai
there’s a new category of content i like to call “human-generated slop” content so bad that you know that even ai couldn’t have made it when the lack of taste is unmistakably human

It's official. ETHIndia is coming to Mumbai on 4th November as a one-day conference. One real question: What Ethereum actually means to India? Part of @EFDevcon in Mumbai. Mark your calendars, more details soon!

story of my life, but will make sure no astra, sol, terra, luna shit in sight.
My life consists of telling fable to write plans for lower cost models to implement. It's like we've re-invented outsourcing to China from first principles.

讲个扎心的事实: 程序员失业后,一般不会直接去送外卖。 而是先走完: 独立开发 → 跨境电商 → 炒股炒币 → 做自媒体 全部折腾一遍以后, 才正式解锁: 外卖、快递、网约车——铁人三项。

Haiku is smarter than Astra, and no one can change my mind.

Astra is stupid
Astra is simply not as brilliant as Fable 5.1 It forgets to look around the corner and isn’t capable of full builds I am having to do extra turns and double check its work 🤷‍♀️

if you want to save your time and money, use Fable 5.1 over Astra, openai models are stupider than a potato.

used to see such tweets from crypto boys back in 2022-24, life humbled them too fast.
if you’re not making 3L/month, living in india, at the age of 20, sorry you’re not good enough

on crypto twitter, when someone suddenly starts tweeting a lot it is either - A) joined a new role B) Got unemployed C) Got liquidated and lost everything.
