Just wrapped Startup School India.
One big takeaway: the ambition has shifted. The founders I met today aren't just thinking about building "the Indian version of X." They're building for the world - and they have the technical chops to pull it off.
Single biggest help in my sleep. Play a podcast, set a timer, once the timer expires, the audio stops playing.
100% cases I sleep before the timer expires. Godsend feature.
Unpopular Opinion: We aren't building the future 10x faster with AI. We are just generating legacy code 10x faster.
Everyone is currently bragging about developer velocity. "I built this entire backend in a weekend!" "AI wrote 80% of my codebase!"
But here is the reality check we are ignoring: Code is a liability, not an asset.
If an AI tool spits out 1,000 lines of functional boilerplate in five seconds, that is still 1,000 lines that a human being has to read, review, secure, and maintain when the dependencies inevitably break next year.
We are treating code generation like a pure productivity win, but we are optimizing for the wrong metric. The bottleneck in software engineering was never how fast we could type. The bottleneck has always been comprehension, architecture, and maintenance.
If we don't shift our focus from "generation speed" to "architectural sanity," the tech debt of the next five years is going to be an absolute, unmaintainable nightmare.
