@chanmeetnarang @join_ef CFOs who hate paying thousands of dollars just because their auditors still do every small thing by hand.

Because you usually get your audit done due to external factors, you have no choice but to pay them till now.

[Atul Patel @atulp0101]

Just pitched Tieout at @join_ef (EF) Demo Day.

If you hate paying your auditor by the hour for their own inefficiency, come talk to us.

Claude has become shit. Ask the same question to Chatgpt and even gemini. They respond much faster and answer is almost same.

Some how Claude gets stuck in loop of doing unnecessary research and just wastes a lot of tokens

[Atul Patel @atulp0101]

@trq212 @LinkedIn is so crazy for not doing this. So much data but still asking people to buy shitty sales nav instead of making it headless.

[Atul Patel @atulp0101]

@jimboomer Great read Jim, I have seen so many cases of managing partners deferring the decision to their IT head and have seen "immunity getting in the way of innovation".

🚨 #ExpressInvestigation | The Union Minister of State for Agriculture Bhagirath Choudhary received a ₹99.03 lakh subsidy for a commercial cucumber farming project under a scheme run by the ministry he serves in.

While the final approval was granted by an NHB project approval committee that does not include the minister, Choudhary is the ex-officio Vice-President of the NHB board that oversees its functioning.

The project, worth ₹1.99 crore, was among 467 approved under the scheme in 2025.

🚨#𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 | Our investigation found that Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's family and their real estate firms acquired at least 137 plots spanning 168 acres in Ujjain for ₹45 crore in two years since December 2023 — mostly in areas benefiting from road projects and land-use changes his government announced. Here is a quick look at how much land each of his family members own

Someone at @AnthropicAI should start working on an alternate AI native version of Android. Not apps within android, new OS.

"next year we're starting earlier"
"we need better processes"
"something has to change"

Unpopular opinion: Most audit errors aren't knowledge failures.
They're fatigue failures.
There's a difference & only one of them can be fixed by working harder.

[Atul Patel @atulp0101]

the AI = electricity comparison felt like hype for a while.

not anymore.

when Claude goes down, devs stop working. exactly like power going out before anyone had backups.

A 1 crore earning techie's life has no value in Bengaluru.

And if you're not earning that much? Your life has even less.

My sister and her friend were driving home in my car. They stopped at a red light - the logical thing anyone does. A drunk driver in a mini-truck didn't feel the need to stop. He slammed into them instead.

I know he was drunk. She knows it. The highway police knows it. The truck owner knows it.

No arrest was made.

The truck driver never showed up at the station. The owner never showed up. Nobody cared. My sister and her friend - both injured, both terrified - kept going back to the station, back to the accident site, explaining what happened over and over, just trying to get a report filed.

I was in the US. All I could do was talk to them on calls, helpless.

Here's what the police told them:
"If nobody died, an FIR doesn't make sense."
"Just claim first party insurance."
"Third party insurance doesn't pay much anyway."

And then, quietly, one officer pulled them aside and told the truth: "These truck mafia bribe us. Nothing will happen."

Nothing happened.

The truck was KA04 AE6550. The police themselves said if they'd been on a two-wheeler, both would be dead.

We had 100% insurance from Reliance. Claim rejected. Reason? "Misrepresentation of facts." These two, even while injured, kept showing up to represent the facts. Reliance still found a way to deny them.

The law says if someone hits you from behind, the person behind is at fault. It was a red light. How does a truck driver not see that?

Trust me, this isn't about money. I'll manage the repairs and the medical bills. I have savings. And I have a decent credit score; I'll take a personal loan if I have to. That's not the point.

The point is this: my sister is afraid now. Afraid that anything can happen to her at any moment and there's no one - no system, no law, no institution - that will protect her.

But how do I tell her the world is supposed to be fair? How do I tell her to trust the system? How do I explain that the drunk driver walks free, the truck owner was never questioned, and the police pocketed their bribe and closed the file?

I can't say to any official, "What if this was your daughter? Your sister?" Because their daughters travel in cars with security escorts. They will never know what it feels like to be ordinary and unprotected.

So I'm saying it to you, an ordinary reader.

You're on the road. You stop at a red light. A drunk driver in a truck rear-ends your car. Your loved one is inside, terrified.

And then you learn: there is no recourse. None.

The truck owner pays off the cops. The insurance company rejects your claim. The system shrugs.

This is Bengaluru in 2025. This is India in 2025. This is what your life is worth here.

One more thing. The friend in the car? He's one of the smartest people I know. close to top 100 rank in IIT-JEE. AI engineer and one of the biggest data companies. At 23, he is valuable to be paid more annually than the cost of five such trucks, that too, in India. He's patriotic. He pays his taxes. He stays in India even though he constantly gets offers to move to the US.

This is the confidence our system gives to someone who is clearly an asset to this country. All this unfairness - for a drunk truck driver.

@blrcitytraffic @BlrCityPolice - tell me. I've always avoided raising fingers publicly. But what else can I do?
