2 posts a day for 10 years.
A lot of posts in there are philosophy that came out of thinking exercises.
I never really did this to grow my account. Watching how people think online, trying to make sense of all the spectrums, predict the future - it was simply fun.
I normally would get more engagement when I post on LinkedIn, but X makes me think more, hence X has always been where I reside.

I think bursting fire crackers is a fashion. If people get something new and more fashionable, they will start adopting that instead.

I don't think vibe coding is that fast if wanting to build reliable systems.
Chatting with claude itself gets you into a rabbithole of engineering concepts. Its just better to know engineering and tell claude to do a specific thing while being confident it solves the problem.

Honestly would like Twitter back and more intellectual discussions over here. I don't want this to be a "news app".

Why is whatsapp MacOS app so bad, everything is so slow. Is it Apple gatekeeping or Meta not building a good one?

I think all stories or even history is a kind of archeological record of perceptions across multiple generations.
If majority of current populace wants Ravan as an anti-hero, that's what he becomes.
I personally expect movies to do what makes them money.
I’ve been rooting for #Ramayana since day one. I genuinely want this film to go global and take our stories to the world.
That said, ill-informed takes like these do little to serve the epic or its legacy.
Ravana was a rapist, not some misunderstood anti-hero in need of redemption. The Valmiki Ramayana recounts his sexual assault of Rambha, a celestial woman who was his nephew Nalakubera’s intended wife. His intelligence, scholarship and devotion do not erase his transgressions.
We’ve had enough attempts to turn Karna into a hero. We don’t need another exercise in glorifying Ravana.

In pursuit of telling AI how not to write English, I have learned a lot of English grammar, identifing parts of a sentence, types of sentences - things like euphemism, negative parallelism, and what not.
Its more like now I have a reason to learn English grammar.

Here we go again folks, wish you all great smoking time.
Oct to Feb, I think moving to Himalayas or NE or simply out of the country is becoming more of a reasonable choice now.

In many cases yes. But I think power users would always want a UI - maybe a HUD if not on screens.
If I was starting out, I would NOT learn UI design.
I honestly don't think UI designers will be needed in 10 years because nobody's gonna browse websites or apps. They're just gonna talk to it.
The future of usability is all about training the model, not the interface design.

Given the AI era we all are individual businesses now.
everyone should make personal brand ad.
it shows that you are more just a talent.
but i hope founders know that
someone who is able to make such good videos (should) eventually become a creator
arbitrage of having personal brand >> any job benefit
that person will eventually realise it, and founder will not be able to keep them

Realistically this is not possible, you will have to launch a nationwide public servant report card and incentive program and launch it like a white revolution to make public servants do their jobs without prompting.
Its just energy efficient to prompt for the immediate things or engineer ourself the solutions at this point of time.
Respectfully, I disagree. If everyone just did their f-ing jobs in an ideal world, we don’t need to be on our toes.
Everyone sees what’s wrong, why can’t the ones in power just fix things without prompting? Its because they don’t want to.

We all don't need 100 Calebs, we just need to think this way.
I think what is actually needed is for Indian people to actually give a damn about their cities and fellow citizens.
Anybody using the "I pay taxes, I shouldn't have to do anything" excuse should go live in another country. India isn't developed, it's developing, so it needs patriots, not parasites. If this triggers you, it means you're part of the problem.
If you're not happy with the footpath (or a pothole, or anything else which is broken), fix it, or call someone to fix it, and don't give up until it's fixed. Be relentless. Be vocal. Be creative. Make it your mission to get that one thing fixed. Look at what Virendra (@Virendra0698) did by just calling the right people and being respectful (but also persistent). He and Arun Pai (@arunpaiblrwalks) along with the help of GBA and some wonderful volunteers turned an unofficial garbage dump into a pristine, beautiful footpath through sheer force of will.

God bless all of us if we are training models on human prompts, because this is how I write prompts and I am sure all of you do too.

Don't just read books to agree upon whatever the authors write - they can be wrong too.
I believe some of the best outputs of reading happen when you are like, wait, I don't think this works as written - I have a better way of understanding this concept.

I think Starlink will be useful when I decide to have a farm house in middle of nowhere and work from home.
Also customer service and tech wise Airtel, Jio these guys are not great. Both of them apparently owe me money 😂
Airtel: Booked Wifi TV request more than a month back, paid 500, no service provided and money still with them.
Jio: Had paid a 6 month plan, moved to a different location where they cannot provide fiber service -- as per policy they should return the remaining money beacuse they are not able to provide service - 2000 blocked over there.
I think ACT also owes me money for a similar reason but haven't explored much.
Even if starlink is costly, atleast Elon can bring better tech and service.
Starlink in India would enable high-speed, affordable Internet connectivity for those who can’t afford current prices or who don’t have a connection at all!
