Curious about systems, code, and consciousness.

@_swanand Makes sense. Force action and the truth shows up.

[Arpit Bhayani @arpit_bhayani]

The industry has gone completely nuts.

Use tokens to generate AI code and documentation slop. Then use even more tokens to understand and review that slop.

Then judge engineers by token usage instead of how empathetic and clear their docs and code actually are, and completely neglect human comprehension.

Utter nonsense.

One thing I’ve noticed with many brands is how warm and proactive they are before the sale.

Daily follow-ups, quick replies, full attention.

But once the order is placed, the energy suddenly changes. Updates become slow, responses become cold, and service starts feeling like an afterthought.

This is where many brands lose trust.

Great companies are not known only for product quality. They are known for consistency in service, before and after the sale.

That’s something some global brands seem to understand better.

The real relationship with a customer starts after the purchase, not before it.

You can survive failure. You may not survive the death of curiosity.

Be curious!

Marc Andreessen: Software isn't precious anymore. In this new world, high quality software is infinitely available.

"We've always lived in a world in which software is this precious thing that you have to think about very carefully."

"It was really hard to generate good software, and there was only a small number of people who could do it."

"Those days are just over."

"If you need new software to do X, Y, or Z, you're just going to wave your hand and get it."

"Things that used to be hard, or even seem like an insurmountable mountain to get through, all of a sudden, I think, become very easy."

How Axios was compromised 🤯

[amul.exe @amuldotexe]

It's been 4 weeks since I started my Rust OSS sabbatical: got my first PR merged in a large Apache project; spent time learning how to grok large Rust codebases & now I have started looking for developer gigs in the dev ecosystem knowing that getting hired might come with a couple of months lag of its own; if you know someone hiring for Rust or dev tools, please tag / RT for good karma

emphasis: looking for dev roles only, happy to do assignments to prove my craft, open to short term contracts

‼️Do not npm install or deploy anything right now

Supply chain attack on axios 1.14.1 - even if you don’t use axios it may be a nested dep.

Pin versions or wait until this is resolved

My 3.5-hour conversation with @naval.

Fresh takes on every idea from The Almanack of Naval: happiness, judgment, knowledge, leverage.

Now in one episode, available on Spotify, Youtube, etc.

This felt very true to my experience.

In meditation, I’ve noticed that the moment you become aware that you’re in a certain state, it starts to dissolve or change.

It’s like the difference between observing and just being present. The more you try to “see it,” the more it slips away.

🚨 Simulation Theory: The Double Slit Experiment proves particles act like waves until observed then they snap into particles.

What if our reality only "renders" when we're looking, just like a video game optimizing resources?

Check out this episode from The Why Files breaking it down, tying it to Simulation Theory. Are we in a sim?

This could be the key to unlocking the true nature of existence!

The Why Files video did a great job on explaining the Double Slit Experiment & Simulation Theory

What do YOU think—real or rendered? Drop your thoughts below!

This is amazing!!

The way reward shaping flips behavior here really does feel like behavioral psychology for machines.

Makes you wonder how much of AGI alignment will come down to designing the right incentives.

[Shantanu Goel @shantanugoel]

I taught an AI agent to master a kung fu game.

Interesting part: Machines learn just like humans and reward shaping is just behavioral pyschology in code.

It learned to fight like a beast.
And then it learned it doesn't even need to fight, it can just RUN.

[aman @deepcoded]

Came across this interesting thought-
“Laziness is not a lack of energy.
It is energy without a goal.”

Give that energy a direction. Even a small step can create momentum.

If you’re procrastinating on something, just start with a tiny part. Soon you’ll feel like doing a little more… and then a little more. Before you know it, it’s already done.

[ʙᴀɪꜱʜᴀᴍᴘᴀʏᴀɴ ɢʜᴏꜱᴇ @ghoseb]

Software Engineering has always been Cybernetics, keeping a human as the main driver had just masked its true nature... now it's hard to not see it that way. Good post!
