Q3 REMINDER !!
Minimum salaries as per experience in software development in India that you should aim for in 2026 :
2 years experience - 10 LPA
5 years experience - 22 LPA
7 years experience - 30 LPA
10 years experience - 42 LPA
12 years experience - 50 LPA
15 years experience - 70 LPA
I think these are the minimum numbers that you should be looking at. If you are earning below this , you need to fix it.
From the time I started playing cricket, Kane Williamson has been one of the most technically compact and magnificent batters I have seen. Balance, timing, and that trademark calm at the crease came together to make his batting one of the most consistently pleasing sights in world cricket. A thorough gentleman and a true role model for youngsters.
His retirement will probably be received with unexpected relief in more than a few bowling camps. Wishing him luck and success in his next chapter.

Microsoft just banned its own engineers from using AI.
The tool was literally costing MORE than the humans it was supposed to replace.
They lied to you about AI adoption and now the whole narrative is blowing up:
Microsoft gave thousands of engineers access to Claude Code six months ago and encouraged them to use it.
Engineers loved it and adoption exploded. But then the invoices arrived.
Token-based pricing means every query, every code review, every debugging session costs money. At scale across 100,000 engineers, the numbers became so large that Microsoft issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool instead.
The company that invested $5 billion in Anthropic just told its own people to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much.
Uber's story is even worse...
Their CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga told The Information that the budget he planned for the full year was "blown away already" by April.
Uber had rolled out Claude Code in December 2025. By March, 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it with 70% of all committed code coming from AI systems.
Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Naga himself spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo session.
The company had even built internal leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used. They literally gamified the spending and then ran out of money.
Now look at what Nvidia's own VP of applied deep learning Bryan Catanzaro said to Axios last month. Direct quote:
"For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees."
This is a VP at the company that SELLS the chips saying that using AI is more expensive than paying humans.
Think about what this means for the entire AI narrative.
Every CEO on every earnings call for the past two years has said the same thing:
AI will make us more efficient, reduce headcount, and cut costs.
The stock market rewarded every company that said it.
Fired workers, stock goes up. Announced AI adoption, stock goes up.
But the actual companies deploying AI at scale are discovering the math doesn't work. The MORE employees use AI, the HIGHER the bill.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24x increase in token consumption by 2030 as companies adopt AI agents. Gartner just published a report showing that even though individual token prices will drop 90% by 2030, total enterprise AI costs will go UP because agents consume exponentially more tokens per task than basic tools.
Meta built an internal dashboard called "Claudeonomics" to track which employees use the most AI. Amazon started pushing engineers to "tokenmaxx," their internal term for consuming as many AI tokens as possible.
Both companies are spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure this year alone.
And Microsoft, the company that bet its entire future on AI, just told 100,000 engineers to stop using the tool they liked best because the per-token bills got out of control.
The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP.
This is the gap nobody on Wall Street is pricing in.
$725 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year across Big Tech. And the first companies to actually deploy these tools at scale are already pulling back because the economics don't work.
What do you think?
instead of watching 2 hours of Netflix tonight, watch this 40-minute masterclass from the founder of a $20B China AI company
it's the clearest explanation I've seen of how Agent Swarms and AI systems actually work at scale
useful whether you've never built an agent in your life or have been using Claude every day for the past year

Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.
Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.
It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.
अखिलेश जी, आइये तेल दामों की क्रोनोलॉजी समझते हैं:
> मोदी सरकार ने 2014 में कार्यभार संभालते ही पेट्रोलियम उत्पादों की सब्सिडी बिल्कुल खत्म कर दी, जिससे LPG और डीजल आम उपभोक्ता के लिए महंगे हो गए।
> 2015-16 में मोदी खुद को किस्मतवाला बताते थे कि उनके आने के बाद कच्चे तेल की कीमत $30 प्रति बैरल से भी नीचे गिर गई है। लेकिन उस वक्त भी उन्होंने दाम पड़ोसी देशों से ऊपर रखे। पेट्रोल और डीजल औसतन ₹59 और ₹46 तक बना रहा।
> 2016 से 2019 के बीच कच्चा तेल $65-70 प्रति बैरल रहा और पेट्रोल और डीजल औसतन ₹70 और ₹66 तक बना रहा।
> 2020 में कोरोना की आड़ लेकर तेल के दामों में केंद्री�� टैक्स अप्रत्याशित रूप से बढ़ा दिए गए, हालांकि कच्चे तेल की कीमतें गिरती रहीं और लॉकडाउन में तो $20 प्रति बैरल भी आ गिरी। पेट्रोल और डीजल औसतन ₹84 और ₹76 तक बना रहा।
> 2021 में जब कच्चा तेल वापिस से $65-70 की पुरानी रेंज में आया तो हमें बताया कि अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार में कच्चा तेल उछाल ले रहा है। इसलिए अक्टूबर 2021 में पहली बार पेट्रोल ₹100 पार कर गया और डीजल ₹90 पार कर गया। हालांकि कच्चे तेल की ये कीमतें 2019 के बराबर ही थी। लेकिन कोरोना के बहाने टैक्स का पहाड़ ऐसा खड़ा कर दिया गया कि 2019 के मुकाबले एक्साइज ड्यूटी लगभग 30 रुपए ज्यादा बढ़ा दी गई थी।
> 2022 में रूस यूक्रेन युद्ध की आहट से कुछ महीने कच्चा तेल $100 प्रति बैरल क्रॉस कर गया। सरकार ने कुछ महीने ब��़ा एहसान जताया कि हम एक्साइज ड्यूटी ₹8 कम करके रिटेल प्राइस नहीं बढ़ने देंगे। लेकिन दिसंबर 2022 तक क्रूड वापिस से $70-75 की रेंज में आ गया।
> 2023-2025 के बीच हमें बताया गया कि भारत रूस से $25-$30 सस्ता तेल खरीद रहा है। बाजार में कीमत $75-80 थी, लेकिन भारत को $50-55 मिलता रहा। लेकिन फिर भी करिश्माई रूप से पेट्रोल और डीजल का दाम 90 रूपये से ज्यादा बना रहा। गौरतलब है कि 2015 में कच्चे तेल की इस कीमत पर ये दाम 55-60 रूपये था।
> रूस से सस्ते तेल के आयातकों में सबसे बड़ा रिलायंस था, रोजाना 4 लाख बैरल से ज्यादा। इस दौरान रिलायंस ने हजारों करोड़ का मुनाफा कमाया। तेल का शुद्धिकरण करके यूरोप को बेचा गया। यहां तक कि भारत में शुद्धिकरण हुआ तेल नेपाल, भूटान और श्रीलंका में भी हमारे मुकाबले 30 रुपए लीटर सस्ता बिकता रहा।
> सस्ते रूसी तेल का सारा प्रॉफिट अंबानी को और भारत को इसके बदले 2025 में अमेरिका से टैर���फ की सौगात मिली। लेकिन ट्रंप परिवार और अंबानी परिवार की सांझ बहुत अच्छी है, अब यही सैटिंग वेनेजुएला के तेल में शुरू हो चुकी है।
तो अब अगर कोई ये कहता है कि 2022 से 2025 के बीच में तेल के दाम नहीं बढ़े तो भाषा सरकारी है। कायदे से रेट घटने चाहिए थे, हमने अपने पड़ोसी देशों के मुकाबले ₹30-35 महंगा तेल खरीदा है 3 साल तक।
��ोदी कोई महंगाई मई में क्यों याद आई, सबसे गहरा संकट तो मार्च और अप्रैल में था। चुनाव के तुरंत बाद ये माहौल क्यों बनाया जा रहा है?
इज़रायल के चंगुल में फंसकर ईरान की नाराजगी किसने मोल ली है?
ये संकट हमारे ऊपर मोदी ने लादा है और उपरोक्त आंकड़े बता रहे हैं कि जब संकट नहीं था तो मोदी सरकार ने रिलायंस के साथ मिलकर उपभोक्ता को लूटा है।
प्रणाम।
