A team's culture determines whether speed compounds or just gets you to the wrong place sooner.

i’m convinced most join gym, learn guitar, start coding, take up science, create content… not because they’re passionate about it but because they’re longing for a sense of identity and belongingness.

and they’d much rather cherry-pick a template than sculpt one from scratch.

scrum and soccer are very similar

90 minutes of running around and sometimes something happens

If you want to keep your job, open every Slack channel and send "what is our AI strategy here" everyday for the next 30 days.

Airbnb has a blueprint of their entire customer journey on their office walls.

They then map all product, policy, and service updates to it.

More companies should do this to avoid shipping the org chart.

In love with the new @Angular tutorial!

Just open a page, code and learn.
No setup. No stress. Just play. 🥹

Today we released TypeChat: an experimental library that makes it easy to get well-typed structured data!

This makes it way easier to build natural language UIs: take a user request, turn it into JSON, validate with the user that it's what they want. ✅

It is hard to grasp for some engineers early in their careers what took them here won't take them there. Shipping features will probably can take you to senior, shipping 10x more features is not how you'll become a principal.

As a #WindowsInsider, I was thrilled by Day 2 of #MicrosoftBuild2023. Kudos to Rajesh & Panos for their impressive #Windows11 keynote. The insightful sessions on #Azure, #OPENAI, #CopilotX, #WindowsCopilot, #MicrosoftFabric and #DevHome were highly engaging. #MSBuild2023

This would be the biggest comedy of errors in Indian media in last few months.

The Indian Express puts out a news title claiming that Ayurveda advises consuming jalebi+rabri (type of Indian sweet) for management of migraine.

BUT, the actual content of the news deals with debunking this misinformation which was initially put up on Instagram by an Ayurvedic practitioner.

Now, the apex pseudoscience authority in India, Ayush, does a "fact check" on the pseudoscientific news piece and warns people and The Indian Express NOT to print such claims - when the news content was actually fact-checking and debunking the very pseudoscientific claim.

But the real comedy comes when Ayush themselves start patronizing Ayurveda by misinforming the public that migraine is well described in Ayurvedic texts and MANY STUDIES on benefits of Ayurveda on migraine is published in literature (there is none actually)

Ayurvedic texts do not describe migraine but mentions "headache" in general in the chapter on "Diseases of the Head" and talks about treatments that include putting cow and goat urine in the nose, burning the patient's skin, making the patient consume fats+sugars (probably where the idea of Indian sweets came in) and more importantly, instilling blood of animals in the nose and making patient smell fumes of rotten fish to drive away bacteria and worms causing headache.

This is real Ayurveda.

Do not, for ONCE believe what AYUSH is telling you. It is the biggest disinformation campaign on Indian public health.

Don't become that sad architect. Be an engineer. Own your code in production. This is the way.
