@banglani Better still: All VCs form a collective and buy Google, FB and Amazon credits at discount that can be invested in startups. Extend similar offer to print and TV media.
Even better: Get them as LPs in exchange for credits.
The biggest RL Hackathon in the world is happening next weekend in the campus of @Scaler_SST next weekend.
1500 finalists from 75000+ participants will be building RL environments.
Looking for mentors to guide people, and take sessions.
You must have prior experience with RL. Best place to meet solid young talent in the AI space, along with @AIatMeta and @huggingface tech mentors.
My DMs are open, ping if you've worked on RL and can join as mentor.
Looking for enterprise codebases in languages that are relatively rare in the Open Source World, primarily:
C#, Scala, COBOL, Sysverilog/Verilog, PHP, Kotlin, CUDA, Fortran, ABAP, OCaml, Slang.
The purpose is to teach next generation of machines and humans. Cost not a constraint for a rich repo!
X, do the magic!
Last night I got to sit in on @lossfunk's invite‑only meet, and my brain is still buzzing.
Talent density was off the charts... @paraschopra in the room, folks like @jiten, @asxna, @_anshuman26, and a fantastic deep‑dive by @Naman_Bhalla on RL environments and reward hacking.
Looking to connect with folks who actively work in 'legacy-ish' / niche stacks like COBOL, modern Fortran, Ada, Verilog, Erlang/Elixir, Perl.
If you’ve shipped real systems in any of these (or know someone who has), my DMs are open – want to route you to some interesting opportunities.
If you haven't, please 🔁 for good karma.
Let that sink in... a platform built from the ground up just streamed over 72.5MN fans at the same time.
With personalized ads, real‑time commentary, rich match analytics and a tidal wave of emotions all holding steady.
A double win for the @JioHotstar engineering and product teams... we broke global streaming records and then stayed on to celebrate India lifting the T20 World Cup trophy together.

If you folks ever wonder how live streaming works and what goes on behind the scenes, this is what you should watch: my conversation with Prachi - the absolute best person to talk about live streaming.
Her career is all-things-live-streaming.

History, streamed.
JioHotstar has set a new global benchmark in live streaming, recording 65.2 million peak concurrent viewers and 619 million views during the India vs England semi-final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026—making it the most streamed live event in the world.
The bar for the type of SAAS I buy personally has gone up (I shouldn't be able to build it in one sitting).
I feel enterprise SAAS will continue to thrive but b2c SAAS will have to figure out better pricing. (3/3)
It's because a lot of products I use and pay for personal use are increasingly being replaced by chrome extensions and small utilities I have now written for myself.
Vibe coding has replaced shell scripts and Greasemonkey scripts for me. (2/3)
