Built a small open-source tool called InHook. A Webhook inspector made with Go + React all bundled into a single binary.

Still working, Would love your thoughts on it → https://t.co/0ZyzX8nfCA

Built burrow - a simple, fast tunneling tool that puts your localhost on the internet with one command.

Open source, built on FRP, zero config - just download and run. Or self-host the server on your own domain. https://t.co/OrrioqXI3N

If you ever feel like you're late to the game, consider that in the 1890s many scientists thought physics as a field was completely solved (quote below is from Albert Michelson in 1894).

On the front of intelligence science, it feels more like the 1870s. For the first time we have something that is starting to really work (however primitive it may be), which we can use as a springboard for the next few decades of discoveries.

Anthropic spun up 16 Opus 4.6 agents to build a Rust-based C compiler from scratch - and the compiler they produced was able to compile the Linux kernel 🤯

All 16 agents worked in parallel on a shared codebase without active human intervention. No compiler engineers were involved, and the entire effort cost just $20,000 in API usage. That's it!

The "agent team" produced a 100,000-line compiler capable of building Linux 6.9. Absolutely insane.

We are living in incredibly exciting times.

We started FLOSS/fund in 2024 to give up to $1 million annually to support the development of FOSS (free and open-source) projects globally.

Here's what K said in a post reflecting on the past year, making the case for the Indian government also to fund FOSS for strategic tech sovereignty:

"Actually, no amount of material resources can enable governments to develop, nurture, and sustain complex, high-quality FOSS projects themselves in the way a community of passionate maintainers can. The incentives, DNA, and motivations simply do not align. Realistically, the idea of tech sovereignty cannot be rooted in 'owning' and creating all technology, especially software, from scratch. There is no way but to participate in the collaborative global FOSS ecosystem."

Without open source software, it's impossible for us to realize our digital and economic ambitions. It's in the best interests of both the Indian government and Indian companies to support open source projects that they use and derive benefit from. I can imagine a "sovereign FOSS fund" to support open source projects that are crucial to the country's interests. The same goes for Indian companies with the financial ability to do so. Barring everything else, supporting FOSS is a logical business choice.

I've said this numerous times: without open source software, there would be no Zerodha.

Was curious about frontend, built a tiny tool call InHook, check it out - https://t.co/JwfS65J0C2

I love lazygit so much. Such a nice way to deal with git, partial commits, catching up on history, creating new branches, seeing what's there. Incredible power up for any developer.

It’s a hefty 206-page research paper, and the findings are concerning.

"LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels"

This study finds LLM dependence weakens the writer’s own neural and linguistic fingerprints. 🤔🤔

Relying only on EEG, text mining, and a cross-over session, the authors show that keeping some AI-free practice time protects memory circuits and encourages richer language even when a tool is later reintroduced.
