IMPORTANT MESSAGE
NEVER BUY A PROPERTY IN INDIA WITHOUT THESE DOCUMENTS
1. TITLE DEED
Proves that the seller is the legal owner and has the right to sell the property.
2. MOTHER DEED
Shows the complete history of ownership and helps verify that the title is legally traceable.
3. ENCUMBRANCE CERTIFICATE
Confirms whether the property is free from loans, mortgages, or legal claims.
4. POSSESSION CERTIFICATE
Confirms who is in actual physical possession of the property.
5. PROPERTY TAX RECEIPTS
Indicates regular tax payment and absence of local authority dues.
6. KHATA / PATTA CERTIFICATES
Reflects the property’s entry in government and municipal records.
7. CONVERSION CERTIFICATE

Sanskrit has >2000 verb roots (dhātus). But do you really need to learn them all?
I had Claude analyze 270 Sanskrit texts, and it found that with just the 192 most common dhātus, you can understand ~90% of verbs in literature.
Below are those 192 dhātus, ordered by frequency:
2026 is the GREATEST time to build a startup in 30 years
I’m 36. I’ve sold 3 startups, helped build companies that raised billions, and backed teams from seed to unicorn.
20 MEGA shifts that make this the BEST time to build in a GENERATION:
1. Hardware got smart. Download open-source AI models from HuggingFace to cheap robots and they're suddenly smart. Opens up tons of use-cases.
2. SaaS is imploding. AI can replicate $500K software for pennies. Enterprise software that took 30 engineers now requires 1 and a Claude Code subscription. Founders will go more niche and more custom and outprice incumbents.
3. Outcome-based pricing is eating subscriptions. With AI agents handling work automatically, founders can guarantee results instead of selling features. This creates a massive arbitrage opportunity to steal market share from rigid subscription models.
4. Vibe marketing is the new marketing. AI agents/tools like Lindy, Gemini and Claude Code Using agents to do personalized outreach, ads and content creation it’s getting good. This is like getting on social in 2005.
5. Social is FYP-ified. Distribution no longer requires massive followings, just content that hits. Founders can build audience from zero without ads and then convert them to owned media channels (text/email).
6. Interfaces are vanishing. Conversations are replacing dashboards across industries. This removes training barriers and means customers can use sophisticated products immediately.
7. Companies are obsessed with efficiency and cutting costs right now. Corporate budgets are getting reallocated to AI. Companies are cutting traditional software spend to make room for AI-powered alternatives. This creates fast-tracked approvals for startups delivering 10x efficiency.
8. 99% of MVPs won't need VC. Low-cost MVPs combined with creator partnerships and AI automation allow bootstrapped scaling. For most software businesses, outside funding is now unnecessary.
9. Global teams. You don’t need to hire in your own city anymore. Opens up tons of arbitrage opportunities and ways to create products unlike before.
10. Millions of creators want to get paid. If you have the right product, the right network of creators, you can hit scale insanely efficiently. Never before did this exist. Next gen founders are building startups community first, software second.
11. Prototyping is nearly instant. With Lovable, Rork etc, you can test ideas in days, not months. MVP speed is basically 1x/week. This creates room for multiple products from small companies (multipreneurship), helps get to PMF faster,
12. LLM APIs create building blocks weekly. I can’t even keep up with how many new APIs/tools coming out from LLMs weekly. Example: Nano Banana pro comes out, probably 1000 ideas built on top of that can be $5M/year businesses.
13. $1m+ revenue per employee. With the leverage of LLMs, community and agents, employees are way more efficient. It won’t be uncommon to generate $1m per employee. This will lead to a rise of "multipreneurship", small teams owning multiple products /businesses. Holding companies will be as common as startups.
14. Superniche is the new niche. Because costs to create software startups is 1/100th, you can service little niches (i call them superniches) and still have a life-changing business.
15. Mobile app ecosystem about to 10X. 2 reasons. First is, adding AI to apps make apps more useful. More useful apps, make more money. Second,
16. Compliance and boring workflows are suddenly buildable. Permits, audits, insurance, payroll edge cases, filings, RFPs. These were “too annoying” for startups before. Agents thrive on rules, checklists, and repetition. The least sexy problems now have the best unit economics.
17. Claude Code killed the “engineering bottleneck.” The constraint is no longer “can we build it,” it’s “do we understand the workflow deeply enough.” The winning founders are ex-operators who encode tribal knowledge into agents. Code is cheap. Taste + domain insight is scarce.
18. The long tail of software is now profitable. Niches that capped at $200k ARR can clear $5M with near-zero marginal cost.
19. Services are quietly becoming software. Manual agencies are one agent away from product margins.
20. if AI can replicate $500K software for $20/month, what’s your moat? distribution, customer service, brand, data etc. REALLY good time to be a world class designer/marketer.
(and even more.... but this is getting long already!)
We've entered the rarest of windows...
when multiple technological shifts collide at once, creating a brief period where small teams can build things that were previously impossible.
THE FUTURE OF BUILDING STARTUPS IS DIFFERENT.
I know this...
This unique moment won't last forever. Markets will adapt. Giants will respond. The window will close.
But right now, a founder with clear vision and bias for action can build more in six months than was previously possible in years.
(note: if you need an idea to get creative juices flowing, grab one at @ideabrowser)
The next generation of great companies is being created right now, many by founders you've never heard of.
Some by people who would never have had a shot in previous cycles.
That's the beauty of these rare windows. The playing field briefly levels, and the future belongs to those who see it clearly and move first.
It's a sacred time, don't bookmark/share this, build something in 2026, will ya?
Happy building, my friends. 2026 is yours.
Am I wrong?
I'm obsessed with cognitive biases.
A "cognitive bias" is a systematic error in thinking that destroys decision-making.
11 most powerful (and dangerous) cognitive biases I've found: 🧵

Super excited to introduce PaperBanana 🍌! (PKU x Google Cloud AI)
As AI researchers, we often spend way too much time crafting diagrams and plots instead of focusing on the ideas 🤯. To rescue us from this burden, we built an Agentic Framework to auto-generate NeurIPS-quality paper illustrations!
📄 Paper: https://t.co/2NbQeEhzMv
🌐 Page: https://t.co/05dKkjVs7f
Key Features:
🌟 Human-like Workflow: Retrieve 🔍 -> Plan 📝 -> Style 🎨 -> Render 🖼️ -> Critique 🔄. This ensures both academic fidelity and aesthetics.
🌟 Versatile: Supports both illustrative diagrams and statistical plots.
🌟 Polishing: Also effective for polishing existing human-drawn diagrams.
Here are some example diagrams and plots generated by our PaperBanana:
It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.
I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.
Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.
At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.
So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.
I am happy but also sad and confused.
If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.
The scale of China's energy grid is insanely large and highly increasing
In 2025, they held 33.2% of the global electricity generation more than double the USA (~14.2%)
That's 1/3 of the worlds capacity
Then the rest of the World combined ends up with 52.6%
An absolute dominant force in global power generation
