Sometimes, even the brightest minds make mistakes.

Maybe not every thought you get should be advertised? Sometimes the inner voice should be heard...

Many technical challenges we see today have been solved decades ago.

For example, Hotstar is famous for serving 4-5 crore users during Cricket matches. That's about 3% of India's population.

In contrast, Doordarshan is a Mammoth 🦣

In 1987, Doordarshan had 7.7 crore viewers for the episode of "Laxman vs Meghnath yudh" from the Ramayan series.

That's almost 40 years ago!

Did they have CDNs then? Adaptive Bitrates? Cloud deployments?

Even Java didn't exist in 1987.

And yet Doordarshan had concurrent connections serving crores of users.

Today, Doordarshan has over 70 crore viewers who consume news programs, social messages, special programs and commercials.

That's about 50% of India's population!

Recently, they decided to migrate their system to AWS. Amazon provides them with video uploading, archival, transcoding, and delivery solutions.

The services are EC2, S3, EBS, CloudFront, etc...

I felt a bit sad to see their tech move into a third party solution. But as a business, it makes sense.

The more I read about Prasar Bharati, the more impressed I am as an engineer.

I don't think you need to do any more intros for the @theallinpod @Jason .
Maybe a smidge.

@Jason GPT3 agrees with you.

Every generic product thinker can kiss their popularity goodbye (or say hello, depending upon which stage you are in).

If all your banking app did was provide you with easy access to your money, you wouldn’t think much of the app. Winning products invoke strong, consistent positive emotions from their users.
