@kunalbhatia91 This is a 4 file tiny project. Less than 1k LOC (including html, js, css and the py backend)
My intent is to see how far I can go without looking at the code.

#VibeCoding be amazing. I have a terribly organized gmail (5k+ unreads). So I decided to build myself a gmail organizer to app.
Spent 20-30 minutes and its ready.

[Tanmay Binaykiya @_btanmay]

Hmm..
Once the app has more features, doesn't seem to do that well though.
Been 2 separate problems that it says it will fix but doesnt seem to be able to.

[Tanmay Binaykiya @_btanmay]

The code is now checked in at https://t.co/fsn3ZTpe58
Don't see the point for anyone to look at it though :P

If you set aside the racism, at the core of this H-1B brouhaha is a very real age old debate of meritocracy vs protectionism.

Some Americans feel like their country is giving away great jobs to people from other countries (and India IS a majority here) which can also dilute its culture. People in tech argue that we need to attract the best and brightest talent no matter where they're from to be able to build the coolest things.

Competing in a global marketplace of talent is difficult, and a lot of Americans haven't been dealt a good hand. DEI initiatives in college hurt the white middle class. Good education is expensive. And to Vivek's point, as much as I love American culture, it's just not as conducive to creating software engineers as a far more resource-constrained education-heavy culture like in India. In India, people often grow up grinding their entire life studying away to get a shot at an engineering job. In history, this is often the case. Developed countries become complacent and developing ones have hunger.

When Americans compete with people who have worked harder for longer (and speak English) in a global marketplace, the odds are stacked against you. Indian families will go to extremes: pool all their wealth and take a loan to bet on a world-class education. Would Americans do that? In the past, this hasn't been an issue since the tech pie was getting bigger and there were jobs for all. Now, amidst layoffs, there may not be. Separately, any flagrant abuse of the H-1B by non innovative low wage IT consulting firms should be stopped.

Ultimately, you have an ideological battle to pick - do you want meritocracy or protectionism? One has helped America historically become a world leader in innovation and technology whereas the other usually leads to Europe. To be protectionist and win, you might need to be prepared to do the 996 grind like China. You need to invest domestically in STEM education from an early age (it blows my mind that you can finish high school in the US and have calculus be optional).

It's an important political debate to have, and I wish it wasn't clouded by midwits and racists who cite anecdotes and use ad-hominem instead of facts and reason.

The best thing about @elonmusk is that he makes me question if I’m thinking big enough with my life.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

The neocon press cycle:

1) New threat to American Democracy in country X!
2) Anyone who questions this narrative is unpatriotic/traitor.
3) Victory is imminent and guaranteed.
4) Victory will take time but is worth it.
5) If we don’t redouble our efforts, we will lose.
6) Setbacks were inevitable.
7) Internal doubts and a lack of staying power cost us the war.
8) Press blackout on country X. (Never that important.)

Wait 6 months. Repeat with country Y.

Wonder if they considered saving on the marketing and using it for their campaign instead

[P. Chidambaram @PChidambaram_IN]

There is a proposal to change the names of 40 villages in Delhi UT

Why? Because the Delhi BJP Chief wants names that are associated with Muslim names changed

The road to hell is paved with bad intentions
