Building CardRecommend and a few other projects 🚀

Into tech, credit cards & startups. Sharing what I build, learn and mess up along the way.

@Sarakhan49309 Wow congratulations 👏

[Akash Elhance @AkashElhan37908]

@shubhranshu2009 Keep going brother

@Alexel_Official @Worshipperfx Sure

I disagree. I've built and deployed production applications using AI, and it has helped me solve real performance issues.

From tracking page load times and fixing N+1 queries to optimizing slow database queries, implementing Redis caching and background workers.

AI can handle much more than just generating UIs. It can identify bottlenecks, suggest architectural improvements and help optimize production systems.

Of course, you still need to test and verify everything, but calling vibe coding a scam is ridiculous.

Every time I check South Korea's KOSPI index, it seems to be either up 4% or down 4% 😭

The volatility is honestly crazy.

Genuinely curious how people invested in this market handle such wild swings.

Are you planning to stay invested for the long term, or thinking of booking profits and exiting?

Would love to hear from actual investors.

@Treasure_ETC I'm from India 🇮🇳 and currently building a few projects using Next.js, Django and AI. One of them is CardRecommend, a credit card comparison platform.

Pretty new to X and hoping to connect with people in tech, startups and AI. Still figuring things out here 😅

2026 has been a brutal year for tech employees.

Major reported layoffs and workforce cuts:

Oracle — 21,000

Amazon — 17,500+

Dell — 11,000

Meta — 10,400

Microsoft — 5,300

Cisco — 4,000

Block — 4,000

Uber — 3,300

Intuit — 3,000

Atlassian — 1,600

Canva — 1,271

And now Qualcomm is laying off employees too, including in India.

These are some of the biggest companies in the world, yet job security seems to be disappearing.

Everyone keeps saying AI will create new jobs. Maybe it will, but right now thousands of people are losing theirs.

And the only advice employees keep hearing is to upskill.

How much more are people supposed to do just to keep their jobs?

@AnupamMittal Well, looking at your tweets, nobody would guess your own company is running at a loss either. 😅

[Akash Elhance @AkashElhan37908]

@itsdanalex AI will probably create some new jobs, but let's be realistic. Will it create anywhere near as many as it replaces? So far, I see more jobs being cut than created. Right now, AI seems to be creating more hope than actual opportunities.

@b4dgerr 2015, in college. Started with the classic Hello World in C, followed by endless diamond and pyramid patterns 😂

Half of our programming classes were basically about printing stars in different shapes.

@payalpixel Will Gemini 4 Carbon be available in Antigravity?

I'm using Google AI Pro through Jio, and I still don't have access to Gemini 4 Argon. Been doing all my coding with Gemini 3.8 Flash.

Sometimes I feel Indians have a problem with their own films. People tried to boycott Dhurandhar too, but it went on to become a huge hit. Now look at how Ramayana is being trolled even before release. There's nothing wrong with criticism, but we've become so quick to hate and call for boycotts without even giving a film a chance.

@TejaswiPalam 4–5 hours every day is practically a full-time job 😅 Really hope all that hard work pays off for you. I've heard X payouts can be pretty low compared to the effort involved, but I hope you end up earning something worthwhile. Wishing you the best!

[Akash Elhance @AkashElhan37908]

@aarushisharmaX What a Diwali gift from these companies. Imagine celebrating with your family while worrying about losing your job.

Years of hard work, good performance, and still no guarantee of job security.

Sadly, this is becoming the new reality in tech.

@WokePandemic Finally, someone understands this. People keep accusing the makers of glorifying Ravana, but a powerful portrayal doesn't mean glorification. Ram's character requires restraint, patience and emotional depth, which are much harder to portray convincingly than outright aggression.
