Read somewhere

There's a reason why the word "Niyati / (नियति)" ( meaning destiny ) originates from the word "Niyat / (नियत)" ( meaning intent )

@Hi_Mrinal Best quote I read today.

[Sunil Gupta @HeySunilGupta]

I’m completely stranded at Moscow airport… alone, helpless, and running out of hope.

No one from @makemytripcare or @etihad is answering my desperate messages.
Russia doesn’t accept Visa or Mastercard anymore.
I have ZERO cash left. Not even for food or water.

The Etihad ground staff is avoiding me more than my ex ever did — literally turning their faces away and telling me “just call customer care”… which has been busy for hours. I’m standing here like a beggar in my own nightmare.

I don’t know how I’m going to get home. I’m scared. I feel abandoned by the very companies I trusted with my journey. My family is waiting and I can’t even tell them I’m safe.

Please… if anyone from Etihad, MakeMyTrip, or even the Indian embassy sees this — HELP ME.
And if you’re reading this, just one RT could save me. I’m begging.

Couldn't agree more!

i have lost meaning. nothing feels difficult anymore.

earlier, there was so much joy in writing code by hand - finding problems, staying awake for hours just to solve that one silly bug buried deep in the code.

coding gave me a lot of joy, but with agentic coding, writing code by hand no longer makes sense - not because i want it that way, but because of the pressure from everyone around you. why struggle for hours when you can finish everything at 100 toks/sec?

it has left a dent in that joy i once carried. i wish i could go back to writing pure code with my own hands - no agentic coding at all - but there is no time for that. features need to be shipped quickly, and if you don't keep up, you get crushed by others who do.

some might say, "you still have to read the code and figure out if it's correct." that's true, but reviewing something is very different from actually writing it. the neurons fire differently for both - and they fire far more when your fingers are hitting those keys on the keyboard.

maybe the craft isn't dead, but it is slowly being asked to wait in the corner - and for those of us who fell in love with the process, not just the output, that silence is louder than any compiler error ever was.

One good game of chess is all it takes to be happy. And cherry in top is when opponent applause your game as well.

@samlambert @PlanetScale All the blogs from @PlanetScale are absolutely gold!

[Shreyansh Sinha @Rooks_ahead]

Enjoying the "One article: One week" goal I've set so far. Last week was about learning database sharding from @PlanetScale.Next up, will pick "Vector databases" and go in detail of how it does what it does. Time to lock in and go all out, one week at a time! #SoftwareEngineering

Extremely well written and easy to understand for beginners. Highly recommended!

Ever wondered how apps like Uber, Shopify, and Slack handle PETABYTES of data & MILLIONS of queries/sec without crashing? Enter DATABASE SHARDING: Split your DB across servers for epic scalability! Avoid hotspots, slash backup times from 11hrs to 2.7hrs.

@shiri_shh Hey!

[Shreyansh Sinha @Rooks_ahead]

@_vmlops Maybe as a next step you could build a tracker app to track your applications progress. Would be a good side project that can improve your chances even further, definitely a good opportunity to build something meaningful. Best wishes!

[Shreyansh Sinha @Rooks_ahead]

Since the last post on B and B+ trees got a lot of engagement, the next on the plate for me to do the same for databases sharding. Time to lock in and learn it in detail!

@BenjDicken Your @PlanetScale article is truly a gem to understand B and B+ trees. Thank you for writing @BenjDicken

[Shreyansh Sinha @Rooks_ahead]

@duru_tobe @PlanetScale @BenjDicken So true!

[Shreyansh Sinha @Rooks_ahead]

Just finished reading this awesome deep dive on B-trees and database indexes! Learn how they power fast queries in MySQL, why B+trees crush binary trees for disk ops, and tips like using sequential keys over UUIDs for better perf. Must-read for DB devs!

@davybuild @BenjDicken @PlanetScale Hope you find it useful. I have also shared my notes from this article.

Since my last tweet got some engagement, sharing updated notes on the PlanetScale B-trees article by @BenjDicken . Most content is from the original article, but I questioned Google Gemini 3 on my doubts to understand it better:
