Hello dev Twitter,

I'm back to using a mac after a couple years break. What's the must have devtools these days?

Is zsh + iterm combo still the way to go?

Dear people at @nobrokercom, I am ready to pay the ransom for you all to stop calling me. You are holding my sanity hostage.

The good thing about the clever, kinda well read, kinda successful & kinda well spoken Indian sophisticates is their belief they're 'self made'. If it wasn't for social access most of us including me would be sitting in a waiting room hoping for an interview. Self made is a myth

On January 6th, a friend texted me. He'd found an injured dog by a garbage dump in Bangalore. It couldn't walk, it couldn't even stand. Most of its fur was gone, it was covered in sores. He didn't have the time to help it but sent me this picture. 🧵👇🏿

For a small fee, I will go to your enemy's conference presentation, be the first one to raise my hand, and have "more a comment than a question" for 3/4 of whatever time is allotted for questions. For a bit extra, I'll make sure to remind them of how tenuous their argument is.

@sidin The first person to make masala dosa must have been the Steve Jobs of those times

[www.sidin.co @sidin]

Potato came to India in 16th century. First written record of dosa was in 8th century.

Which means there was an 800 year gap between first dosa and first masala dosa.
