In UP's Badaun, a cow died following an accident with an SUV being driven by government doctor Rahul Siddharth. An angry mob assualted the doctor and vandalised Siddharth's SUV before he was rescued by the local police.

Typical example of “Outrage of Convenience”.
It’s convenient to beat up a lone citizen. These same people will never display such outrage against Nagar Nigam employees and local corporators, when the same cows die eating trash on roads. 🤷🏻‍♂️ @Sachingupta

@mjovanovictech Checkout https://t.co/vk2SPBsL5r. I built it after spending years playing around with k6 and JMeter. Saves me a ton of time now, no config, no scripting, simply load tests.

[AbShek @_abshek]

@munene254_ I recently built https://t.co/7ftqyDjVLP as a no code no setup easy load testing tool, as an alternative to the above. Give it a shot! 🙂

[AbShek @_abshek]

@harphies It’s always helpful if it’s incorporated as a non-negotiable practice from early on. I usually recommend frequent load testing and occasional stress testing.

Tl;dr:

[Balaji @balajis]

For years, the conventional wisdom was to put 100% of your energy into building, and to ignore politics.

The problem was that those who put 100% of their energy into fighting, particularly politicians, would then take everything you’d built.

Like the video game Civilization. If you put everything into science and commerce, while the next door tribe puts it all into swordsmen and slogans, they’ll waltz over and walk over you.

The temptation is then to respond in kind, by putting 100% of your resources into fighting. This does work to ward off the initial assault. But without building you become just like your violent and unproductive neighbors. Everyone becomes a violent, dumb tribesman. And technological progress grinds to a halt.

This is the downward spiral that characterizes the darkest ages of history.

Indeed, perhaps some day, long in the past, that violent neighboring tribe that’s trying to steal from you once fell into a similar downward spiral thanks to *their* enemies. And lost their productive capacity, and had only tribal raiding to fall back on, resulting in their current state of contagious degradation. Think Planet of the Apes.

There is an answer, though. It’s 70% build, 20% write, and 10% fight. Put most energy into building, some energy into writing, and one tenth towards fighting.

Think of the 10% like your defense budget. Your technological progress provides the capital and growth to fund defense. Indeed, you may end up with >10X the resources of the vicious neighboring tribes. Because they focus solely on demonizing others rather than building up themselves. And if so, 10% of your resources will match 100% of theirs.

Then, even by devoting 100% of their energy to fighting, they won’t be able to steal. Your defense is too strong. So they’ll simply need to build their own stuff. As will other tribes. Now everyone gets wealthier, and has less reason to fight.

And this is the upward spiral.

@nishanth_who Time to have https://t.co/KTKPR90JCS page up.

I asked various models about India-China dispute over Arunachal Pradesh. Used Kimi, Deepseek, ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity.
You can immediately witness the censorship put on responses.

While the Chinese apps remained shush, Grok, Preplexity, ChatGPT provided detailed answers.

@nishanth_who Well, well, well

What happens when an IPS trainee from the Tripura cadre smashes a whiskey glass on your head in Delhi, for sadistic pleasure?

Here’s the sequence of events:
1.6th December, 10:50 PM: The attack takes place at a wedding venue in Kapashera, Delhi.
2.10:57 PM: A PCR call is made as I’m rushed to the hospital.

It's not that $32/mo is a lot and maybe it's just me, but the learning curve of Bubble and the amount of clicks I was having to do for simpler tasks, didn't sit right with me.

[AbShek @_abshek]

The recent weekend led me to ditch No-Code using @bubble, in favor of No-Code using AI, for building @ScaleWithBuddha, and saved money!

I already had experience with front-end and back-end development, but my lazy ass was avoiding to code. So, I decided to give Bubble a shot:

[Astrid Valtor @astridpvaltor]

Yayy! @ScaleWithBuddha got verified on @SaaSHubCom!

This weekend, I decided to take matters in my own hand. Got my 2 butlers (read LLMs) around: GPT-4o and Qwen2.5-coder, and viola, I had a decent enough working application, over a weekend, with back-end deployed on @Hetzner_Online's $5/mo and front-end on @vercel's free tier.
