And here's the first one!!
Kicking off the insights series with Open Source & GSoC. Sharing what I've learned and hopefully making it a little easier for someone who's just getting started.
Give it a read and let me know what you think! ❤️

Anthropic just dropped Claude Fable 5.2.
In 5 lines:
- Up to 30% faster than 5.1, uses fewer tokens
- 69.9% on FrontierSWE v2 (5.1 was: 56.3%)
- Safety filters block ~55% fewer requests
- 90%+ of code merged at Anthropic is now written by Claude
- 1,000 agents formalised Fermat's Last Theorem in 30 hours
Benchmarks are Anthropic's own.

Opened Instagram for "just one reel" before my exam.
Closed it 2 hours later. 😭
My friend @Nihal_rodge had the same problem. Instead of deleting the app, he built one.
Built by a student, for students. Live on Google Play:
play.google.com/store/apps/d…
LockFeed gives you a pop quiz before Instagram or YouTube opens.
→ Right answer? You're in.
→ Wrong 3 times? You're in anyway. No punishment, just a tiny bit smarter.
Questions from what you're actually studying: JEE, NEET, UPSC, chess, puzzles, 7 languages. No ads, works offline, data stays on your phone.
Be honest: would this stop you, or would you get it wrong 3 times on purpose? 👀

1400 DONE on DIWALI 🪔
And, here's what all crazy things I did in the last 1 month:
- Finally built and shipped my portfolio: parascodes.is-a.dev/
- Shipped cp-mac, a Homebrew package that solves the include <bits/stdc++.h> problem on macOS: github.com/Paras-ydv/cp-mac
- Got the opportunity to be a Speaker and Judge at Hacktoberfest 2026 at Newton School of Technology, Rishihood University.
- Changed my phone finally after 5 years.
- Took a live session on Open Source and GSoC with 150+ students on @sheryians_ platform.
- Published my first X article about open source which is a banger on its own: teapaw.org/parascodes/status/2118…
- Went deeper into production infrastructure, learning how UAT and production environments work, along with AWS, ECS, Fargate, VPCs, Caddy, Terraform and more. And, handling production work in my internship.
Now, the post Diwali work will be crazy.
Planning on so many good stuff.

A friend of mine has built something genuinely interesting!! 👀
Meet Bell AI - an AI-powered voice assistant designed to help elderly people live more independently.
It makes automated calls to remind them about medicines, medical appointments, and other important tasks, while allowing them to interact through natural voice conversations and confirm task completion.
The idea is to make everyday assistance more accessible without requiring elderly people to navigate complicated apps or interfaces.
Built by @_karsh0506 @itzdeveshvaidya and @ayeayushh ❤️
Check it out: bellai-app.vercel.app/
Do give it a try and share your thoughts with the team!! 🤝

The music from the college fest was loud enough to make our feet dance yet we had a 48-hour hack to finish!
WE SUBMITTED "ZEROREJECT"!

Last 3 months of vengeanceui.com
140k+ visitors
1.3 million page views
the best memory of my college life :)

I know people who have built some insanely good projects, but barely anyone knows they exist.
And I think that's a problem worth talking about.
Over the past year, I've grown VengeanceUI to 40K+ monthly visitors and 1,200+ GitHub stars.
Along the way, I learned a lot about getting your project in front of the right people, building an audience, and turning something you made into something people actually use.
I'm thinking of writing a detailed article sharing everything that worked for me, what didn't, the mistakes I made, and what I'd do differently if I were starting from zero today.
No generic advice. Just my experience, actual numbers, and practical things you can try with your own projects.
Would you guys be interested in reading something like this?
