Google Chrome was Sundar Pichai's pet project and carapulted him tonthe CEO spot. Why Chrome?

Pichai hails from Chromepet in Chennai and has a Metallurgy degree. He named it as a tribute to himself.

Now IIT Madras Computer Science boy Aravind wants to buy Chrome. He himself named his co as Perplexity in honor of his favorite dish Paruppu Usili, a Tamil delicacy.

This is the power of Chennai in calling shots in the AI age.

Hey all, I am launching https://t.co/B9dOv2n2YZ on ProductHunt today. Would appreciate your support and feedback.
It’s a simple, beautiful way to manage and share product updates — with custom domains, embeds, integrations, and more.

Stumbled upon on the next billion-dollar startup idea 😂: is-even-ai.
It solves the age-old problem of checking for even numbers using the magic of AI.
Why perform a simple calculation when you can make an API call to a massive language model instead?

Just updated my iPhone & watch to iOS 26, till now it feels good except some readability issues that comes up very rarely. Overall I like it tbh 🤷🏻‍♂️.

@shyjal I have started using this recently. It is not same as the one in Arc, but as someone who is very used to the sidebar, it helps with that. Did not experience any performance issues till now and it is pretty fast and does not feel like an extension.

[aswin vb @aswinvb1]

@shyjal Looks so cool, I would love to try it out..

From longer context to faster reasoning, this upgrade is more than just a version bump.

Spent hours debugging why my Next.js app wasn't server rendering properly.

The culprit? A single 'return null' in my theme provider. Classic hydration mismatch blocking SSR! Always check your client components carefully. 🤦‍♂️

@samm_duc With AI coming in, it has become much easier, it is like having a helpful hand in all the unknown territories.

Being a solo dev is wild.
One minute you’re writing API routes.
Next, you’re designing the logo.
Then debugging CORS.
Then rewriting the landing page copy for the 10th time.

Full-stack? More like full-chaos.

Not a huge number for many—but a big win for me.
I can now do squats, bench press, and deadlifts with weights equal to my body weight.

Progress takes time. Just showing up consistently.

Tried TweakCN and it’s insanely good.

If you’re building with shadcn/ui, this is the visual editor you didn’t know you needed.

Real-time tweaks
Copy-paste Tailwind styles
No more hunting through classnames

Huge win 💯!

Ever notice a useEffect running twice in dev?

That's not a bug—it’s intentional.

React’s Strict Mode intentionally double-invokes effects to surface side-effect bugs.

It won’t happen in prod—but if your effect isn’t idempotent, your app might break.

Just travelled from Bangalore to Calicut (370kms) on Bike, it was a pleasant day with very less traffic and reached Home in 7:30hrs with few breaks in between. Best ride till date 💯.
