Got rejected for a interview due to my accent!
Recently i cold Dm'ed a founder, and he saw my wellfound AI interview video, but he rejected me to even have a interview even tho he seemed to like my portfolio and skillset.

Think of yourself as an LLM.
Every social interaction, every meeting, burns your tokens.
Unless someone is a paid subscriber to your attention, you are under no obligation to answer low-quality prompts.
Major difference in my mind:
- an engineer, given a problem, invents and tries multiple solutions and stops when the solution is good enough. The goal is product innovation and shipping.
- a scientist asks new questions, proposes various new solutions, compares them (sometimes with old ones), and writes about it. The methodology must be sound or else peers will sneer. The goal is scientific breakthroughs and technological progress.
Both can be called "researchers". Many people can do both: these are activities, not identities.
Importantly, most product innovations are built on scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations that happened 2, 5, 10, or 20 years earlier.
Linux sets rules for AI-generated code
After months of debate, the Linux community has agreed on clear rules for using AI-generated code.
Tools like GitHub Copilot are allowed, but maintainers have made it clear that low-quality “AI slop” will not be accepted.
> “Humans take the fall for mistakes.”
This means developers can use AI to help write code, but they are fully responsible for checking it, fixing errors, and making sure it meets Linux’s standards.
The decision is backed by Linus Torvalds and kernel maintainers
India’s most reputed institution, the Indian Army is collaborating with two youtubers who have:
- no proven track record in AI/ML
- no academic papers
- no practical work
- no credible open source contribution
to teach AI/ML and emerging technologies
Amazing! Isn’t it?
Maybe IITs, IISc, DRDO, AI startups don’t know enough about AI/ML
In 2026, we have CPUs with billions of transistors and 2-nanometer architecture, yet it takes your laptop longer to open a basic "To-Do" app today than it took a computer in 1995 to launch a word processor.
This is Wirth's Law: Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster. We have essentially "spent" all our hardware gains on layers of abstraction, unoptimized libraries and AI-generated code bloat
Tired, but not giving up! Pls download and share before there is a gag order on me.
Thanks to @IndiaESI (who also impleaded in my PIL against misleading branding of sugary drinks as ORS), @FAIMA_INDIA_ , HRDA Andhrapradesh, HRDA Telangana, MARD Thane, MARD Nagpur, Junior Doctor's Association Ahmedabad, Telangana Junior Doctor's Association, Junior Doctor's Association Ranchi, T-SRDA, GARD, Telangana Doctor's Forum, RDA Aligarh, RDWS UP, IMA Telangana State, IMA Hyderabad Airport, Endocrine Society of Telangana, Indian Doctor's and Dermatologists against quackery, for condemning the notice of Johnson&Johnson and Kenvue in which they accused me of disparaging them for my commercial benefits and views! Thank you for staying by my side! Grateful!
With agentic slop, we are trading software reliability for shipping velocity and calling it progress. It isn't. Systems are more fragile than ever, and engineers building them no longer trust their code to hold up in real-world edge cases.
I am pro-AI, but this will backfire - big time.
A final-year law student, Rishi Kumar from Tamil Nadu National Law University, refuses to delete his blog criticising the Supreme Court… despite pressure from his own university.
Why?
Because the administration allegedly received calls from advocates, judges, and others claiming the post harms the institution’s “reputation.”
The blog titled “The Supreme Court of India Has No Spine” questioned the court’s decision to ban an NCERT textbook chapter on judicial corruption.
But here’s the real issue:
A law student is being told to silence himself… for expressing a legal opinion.
His response?
Clear and powerful:
“My opinions are mine… you do not own my voice or my conscience.”
He even said he’s ready to face disciplinary action rather than back down.
This isn’t just about one blog.
This is about academic freedom vs institutional pressure.
If law students… the future of the judiciary are discouraged from questioning the system,
then who exactly is allowed to question it?
Criticism of institutions ≠ disrespect.
Silencing criticism = weakening democracy.
