“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry.
Many times over the years I have thought about a great programmer I knew that loved assembly language to the point of not wanting to move to C. I have to fight some similar feelings of my own around using existing massive codebases and inefficient languages, but I push through.
I had somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I might be missing out on the “final abstraction”, where you realize that managing people is more powerful than any personal tool. I just don’t like it, and I can live with the limitations that puts on me.
I suspect that I will enjoy managing AIs more, even if they wind up being better programmers than I am.
I met an Indian friend this evening. He flew all the way to the Taj Mahal to propose to the love of his life. She’s not Indian.
Can you believe the security and police stopped him from proposing? The police confiscated his ring. He then had to bribe the officer to get his ring back. He then snuck the ring in and proposed quietly without attracting attention.
What is India becoming? An anti-love state?
Good morning @IndiaInNepal pls feed ur people properly. Teach them good manner n best civic sense on India Nepal boarder. Because u r 6th big economy n 4th powerful country. Pls! 🙏 Otherwise it will be romour that India is nothing.
India has one point of leverage over the US, where it can really hit it where it hurts - India's most valuable export: it's talent.
Indians are by far the most successful and wealthiest diaspora community in the US. Nobody else even comes close. If somehow India decides to weaponize this emigration, and threaten to reduce or restrict it even slightly (you don't even need to carry out the threats) - it won't be surprising if the US suddenly becomes agreeable and starts talking like a responsible adult.
And as a (significant) bonus, India will get to retain more of its talent.
Alas, the very idea is unthinkable. If even the slightest attempt is made to control or even manage Indian emigration to the US in India's national interests - the loudest opposition will come from Indians themselves.
First it was the airport dance reels, now it’s floor picnics at international terminals. 😭😭
Watching Indians justify eating meals on the airport floor as a “benefit” is peak cringe.
Looks like civic sense was left behind at the check-in counter.
A video showing a group of Indian tourists performing Garba on an airport tarmac in Vietnam has triggered widespread debate online over travel etiquette and public behaviour abroad.

Only question: why can’t we just act normal when we’re abroad? Foreign jaate hi sabka dance kyun bahr ane lagta hai ? Why do we feel the need to stand out everywhere across the globe? Everyone else is sitting quietly and enjoying the moment, but our people somehow have to pull out a full Chaiyya Chaiyya performance.

Strongly condemn the attacks on the UAE that resulted in injuries to three Indian nationals. Targeting civilians and infrastructure is unacceptable.
India stands in firm solidarity with the UAE and reiterates its support for the peaceful resolution of all issues through dialogue and diplomacy.
Ensuring safe and unimpeded navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is vital for enduring regional peace, stability and global energy security.
🙏 Welcome the resumption of the pilgrimage for Indian friends to Kangrínboqê Fēng and Mapam Yuco (Kailash Manasarovar Yatra ) in Xizang Autonomous Region of China 2026!
We are pleased to facilitate 1,000 Indian pilgrims this year.
May this Yatra become a bridge of faith, friendship, and people-to-people bonds between our two great civilizations. 🏔️🇨🇳🇮🇳
I am very concerned about the threat of forced eviction looming over several thousands of residents of the Bagmati informal settlement in Kathmandu. I have expressed my concerns about this situation in the past. I renew my call for a solution that fully respects human rights.

We are deeply disturbed by @POTUS sharing this hateful, racist screed targeting Indian and Chinese Americans.
Endorsing such rants as the president of the United States will further stoke hatred and endanger our communities, at a time when xenophobia and racism are already at an all time high.
We ask @realDonaldTrump to reconsider, delete this post & recognize the indelible contributions of Asian Americans to our great country.
