If you are an MSME and still using Tally or another outdated ERP system, consider switching to Odoo.

Unexplained humor used to function like an exclusive club—you either got it or you didn’t.

LLMs are breaking down these gates, democratizing the inside joke.

@AnshumanSail 36% not placed at IIT Bombay is not the correct stat. Many go for Higher Studies, Public Service Exams, and only a fractional 6% looking for a job.

The overachiever guy you envy also had 24hrs in his day, the only thing he lacked was excuses.

Be that guy yourself; life's too short to keep making excuses, go and grind!

You don’t need mentors. You don’t need expensive courses. You don’t even need to be talented.

The Internet has potential to teach us practically anything what we want to know.

But it does require an uninterrupted attention span, which is increasingly a rare possession.

[Paras Chopra @paraschopra]

To get great at anything, you need to alternate between three modes:

- Read theory behind how the field works
- Observe a master in action
- Practice applying your learnings

Any single mode alone won’t help. Combine all three, and you compound like crazy.

While founders aimed for unicorn status, Paras’s goal was to earn Rs. 50,000/ month from Wingify.

Today, Wingify:
1. Revenue = Rs 155 Cr
2. Profits = Rs 51.5 Cr
All with ZERO VC funding!

The separation of education and real life - the idea that first you educate, then you live; always in that order and rarely with overlap - is one of the greatest tragedies of human potential.

To learn is to be human. It was never meant to be a mere developmental phase.

I graduated CS in mid-90s. As a contractor I've had a placement every 1-2 years on average. So that's a lot of jobs and screening. I have been asked to prove my degree once, and that was in 2022.

As for my degree. There are parts of it that form fundamental knowledge. But the dollar and time cost of a CS degree is too high to justify in the modern era. The value exchange is almost nil.

I'm pretty confident that most modern developers could acquire fundamental knowledge on an as-needed basis to supplement their real-world experience.

The academic higher education system is still about two decades behind the curve, formal vocational education appears to have been abandoned.

Important to note:

* 95% of the practical things I learnt on my degree were obsolete within 5 years.

* Only the fundamentals and the piece of paper survived.

* I sustained my career into its 4th decade through constant self-directed learning.

My tips for the beginner:

* Learn from doing, write rubbish that works.

* Learn how to make your working rubbish changeable.

* Learn about how patterns can help make your working rubbish cleaner. But don't lead with patterns, build beautiful rewarding messes.

* Learn about unit testing and test-driven design. You don't have to use it religiously, but learning and doing it will build fundamental skills and perspectives.

* Add quality measures (tests and design improvements) to your messes so that you can fearlessly refactor them into simple, clean, beautiful, changeable designs.

* Copy things. Not code, but systems or parts of systems. Pick something you use a lot, anything, and reproduce it from scratch.

* Try not using that library. Try rolling your own solution. It'll give you a good insight into how to build stuff as well as an appreciation of the value of libraries and when you should and shouldn't use them.

* Do all of the above iteratively.

AND THEN:

* Build bigger and bigger things.

* Get stronger by doing.

* Build a kanban board.

* Build a chat server.

* Build a fractal generator.

* Build a complex form with robust validation.

* Build queues, lists, trees.

* Build anything that interests you.

(Choose your future. Choose life!)

Sam Altman: "A big secret is that you can bend the world to your will a surprising percentage of the time—most people don’t even try, and just accept that things are the way that they are.

People have an enormous capacity to make things happen. A combination of self-doubt, giving up too early, and not pushing hard enough prevents most people from ever reaching anywhere near their potential."
