After using ArchLinux for 5 years, I am finally building my own linux distro named CrownOS(based on Arch).
I began my work by writing my own wayland compositor which packs a bar, launcher and display server altogether for seamless animations and user experience completely on Rust

[Pratham Vaidya @meetPratham]

The most common nonsense I hear is:

“Frontend is so cooked, AI can easily do it. Backend still has a long way to go.”

Usually coming from people who throw together some basic ass shadcn UI and mostly work on complex backend problems.

Bro Frontend has its own depth. You’re just working on an early product that hasn’t reached the stage where those complex problems show up yet.

Built a containerized online judging system for a Robotics club hackathon to evaluate Unitree Go2 reinforcement learning models. Used Docker for isolated execution, Kafka for task orchestration, and a real-time leaderboard to display evaluation status and scores. @scaler_official

The fact that you can just plug sensors into the VGA port of an old laptop and get data out is crazy to me.

It’s always fun finding GPIO in strange places.

I can’t believe Google dropped a 64-page guide on building AI Agents. Completely for free!

From AgentOps to Agentic RAG orchestration to grounding, this guide shows how to design and scale AI agents reliably in production ✨

If you’re building an AI startup, start here.

Agency > Intelligence

I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?

Grok explanation is ~close:

“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.

People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.

It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”
