I've hidden my work long enough.
Not because I wasn't building. I was.
After a failed startup in 2019, I carried impostor syndrome everywhere. I kept telling myself, “Ship it when it’s perfect.”
It never was.
Then life happened.
I relocated from 🇮🇳 New Delhi to 🇪🇪 Tallinn, Estonia, met the love of my life, got married 🥰🙈, became a dad 🧿, went through a painful layoff, started over, got burnt out and eventually landed back on my feet.
Through it all, I kept building: late nights, weekends, tiny experiments, half-finished ideas, new skills & more ideas.
My biggest enemies weren’t a lack of ability but:
1. inconsistency.
2. fear of being judged.
Today, I’m choosing differently.
I’m done building in silence.
There’s another reason this matters now, more than ever, I want my daughter to grow up adaptable.
The world she’ll inherit will look very different from the one neither I nor my spouse grew up in. AI will be part of almost everything. The way we work, learn, create and build will keep changing.
I want her to understand that you don’t have to have everything figured out. You learn. You adapt. You try things. You fail. You start again.
More importantly, I don’t want to teach her these things only with words. If I tell justtt keep pestering her that building something worthwhile will take time, effort and persistence,
I should show her - nothing beats a demo, yea?
So I’m starting here.
I’ve realized that the shadows are a good place to understand yourself. But, they are Just not where sustainable, long-term growth will happen. Everything living grows in the light.
As I’m writing this, there’s a partial solar eclipse outside. The light is still there. It’s just temporarily covered by a shadow.
That felt oddly fitting.
So here’s my public promise:
From today onwards, I’ll share what I’m building, what I’m learning, what I’m getting wrong, and what I’m figuring out.
Not because I have all the answers. But, because I’m done waiting until I feel ready.
This is my attempt at beginning that journey.
See you tomorrow.
Here is the fastest way to turn text into a voice.
Less than 100ms to start streaming.
This is an absolute must for anyone who wants to build a voice agent that doesn't sound robotic (latency kills the perception of reality).
Here is how easy this is:
I vibecoded this neural network visualization for my students and open sourced it.
It shows a simple MLP trained on MNIST handwritten digits at several training steps. The visualization is using @threejs and it comes with training code in @PyTorch .
