@Janilokal True. Spending now moves from survival towards aspiration.
Curious if higher income drives English/Hindi adoption, or if it actually fuels demand for premium Tamil/Telugu/Kannada products.

At the same time…
A college student builds a simple Chrome extension that removes ads from recipe blogs and shows only the ingredients.
It goes viral on Reddit.
Within 4 months:
2 million users.
He sells it to a startup for $600,000.
Sometimes the hardest part isn't writing code.
It's deciding what to build.
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
I was working on writing this blog for past couple of days today I just finished writing a blog on running OpenEverest locally using kind and everestctl.
Please give it a read if you enjoy reading about k8s, cloud native tools and databases.
This blog walks through:
• Creating a Kubernetes cluster with kind
• Installing OpenEverest using everestctl
• Provisioning PostgreSQL on Kubernetes
• Understanding operators, CRDs and Kubernetes native database workflows
• Debugging real scheduling issues like PgBouncer staying Pending due to resource constraints
• Exploring logs, database components and cleanup workflows
For anyone new to OpenEverest, everestctl is the CLI used to install, configure and manage the platform directly from the terminal.
Would love feedback and thoughts from the cloud native community :)
Also, don’t forget to star the OpenEverest GitHub repository if you found the project interesting.
