@headcaffeinator@ycombinator Hey Adam, Thank you for being so generous!
We are expecting an interview callback from YC. Could you please help us practice by doing a mock interview. Your feedback would be invaluable.
Dropping a new piece where I discuss a few key macro trends I've been seeing play out globally over the last few years that will accelerate. If you are a founder or an investor, this is going to affect how you think about where you spend the next decade. I broadly argue that:
1. We are coming to the end of the first golden age of SaaS. For most companies, the game is over.
2. We are coming out of what is the tail end of an OPEX driven "GTM centric" part of the innovation cycle of the internet and are now re-entering the CAPEX heavy "innovation centric" cycle of the AI era of the internet.
3. This new era will favor a specific type of asset class, and a very specific type of founder archetype.
4. This new asset class is currently in its 'extractive' phase and, as such, the investments that will accrue most value are likely ones that are extractive in nature. Mistiming this investment cycle is like investing in oil in the late 90s and then holding over the last 20yrs.
5. We will hit another AI winter next year but not due to technical roadblocks. The innovation seems to have hit escape velocity but needs more stability at the bottom layers for us to hit the 'distribution' phase of AI (which may take a few years).

Those who are making hue and cry about Mr.Narayan Murthy's suggestion on 70h work week for India's youth - What would you say to our brave soldiers guarding our nation in minus 50C, and guaranteeing the very freedom you waste to pontificate, should our soldiers also do 9-5, and work from home three days a week? Hey young and old alike, India needs you, and whatever hours it takes to transform our country into THE most respected, THE most prosperous, and THE most powerful democracy in the world. You don't have to work for someone else and do 70h work weeks. Just start a company and solve a problem. Work for yourself. Don't complain. Change Lives, Change Organisations, Change the world! Jai Hind!🇮🇳🚀🫡

1/ One way to gauge how technology has changed over time: CAPTCHAs
The first iteration of CAPTCHAs asked you to decipher squiggly, hard-to-make-out words.
What many don’t realize is that those distorted words you typed were helping to digitize old books...
Hiring for electrical engineers @PixxelSpace to work with us on building satellites in BLR. Doesn't matter if you're in aerospace/solar/EV or just finishing your degree. If working on reliable power electronics, battery systems or solar sounds cool to you, drop us a note!
@ShahRathin Do try Jigar Thanda at the RockFort🍹
In case you’re headed to the NIT campus then Chennai Bakery’s Schezwan Chicken Noodles is something to die for.
Enjoy!
