Chennai makkal! 🥁

If you like summer, travel & art—drop by at Kaylir Canteen, Mylapore, this Sunday (May 31), 8 am to 2 pm.

My friend & I are putting together a little art popup, we can catchup over coffee! :)

When you're neck-deep into building with Claude Code and meet fellow builders who are equally enthusiastic about ideas, then all we do is build together!

Hamza Farooq and I are teaming up for a free ⚡ Lightning Lesson on @MavenHQ: Claude Code for AI product builders. One hour, from "I've used a chatbot"
to "I'm shipping AI products."

We'll cover what Claude Code actually is (and when it's useful), the foundations and systems that power it, and practical workflows you'd be able to run yourself right after the session, along with live demo.

Come join us, and let's have fun learning together - May 1st, Friday. Register using the link in the comments.

Hello twitter. Help us connect with an astrophysicist who would be interested in giving lectures on popular astronomy topics in Chennai for a lay audience for @starvoirs

[Bhavanandhi @bhava326]

I’ve visited this park countless times over the past 18 months and watched it slowly take shape from almost nothing into something truly special. It feels incredibly proud to be associated with something like this.
The facility now hosts some amazing telescopes .

@clairevo Actually happened 😂

[Naveen .H @naavh]

Loved the latest @lennysan’s podcast episode about professional vibe coding! So many valuable nuggets!

Looking at my conversations with @aishashok14, she’s been doing this for a while too as a PM +Builder shipping to prod. @lennysan do consider an episode with her!

Some raw musings around AI, product building, liberal mindset et al. These are what I personally resonate with and want to keep practicing.

1. There’s always going to be abundance in AI, whether it’s the models or providers. You’re going to be discovering something new but not everything is for you. The caveat? You won’t know that unless you try it personally. No YouTube video or "comment for templates" work until you personally choose or chuck tools. And that’s okay, that’s how it should be.

2. Working on personal projects and not launching those is absolutely fine. Not every app or idea you build is for the public. Building in public is a process (something I will still do by sharing tidbits of what I discover and build) and that should be different from launching in public. Stripping the need to monetize or launch something has made my learning journey with AI far more productive. So much around curiosity and the simple joy of learning and serving my own will, at my own pace! I’m going to keep making more JOMO (joy of missing out) stuff with AI.

3. Think broad with AI: seeing the whole curve, whether it’s using AI coding agents, image models, video generation tools, voice APIs, has been the best part of this year. It’s okay to not initially know something when you get started, but exploring different facets of AI helps you build parallel thoughts on how ideas work holistically.

4. Use AI as a lifestyle. Ask about things that are outside of your immediate work scope. Using models for things out of your regular boundaries always sparks new interests. And for someone like me who loves rabbit holes, this process is so much fun. The last I used Gemini? To wipe the thinner stain on my house wall. And step-by-step nano banana tutorial to draw ellipsis sketches in 2D perspective really well. And now my everyday family WhatsApp group chat ends with a bunch of Perplexity answer links to review and discuss. (my grandmother and mother have accustomed to this so well!).

5. Go crazy with the application of AI - I am betting heavily on physical + offline activities and living. As a product builder, always wanted to use tech for this space, and now with AI, I’m more convinced of this.

This AI+physical intersection has been truly rewarding. Used my perfume knowledge (in a parallel world, I’d be a perfumer!) along with AI’s deep learning to create a new fragrance combination for my friend’s birthday; Used nano banana & Midjourney for my art product mockups shared with all my current lifestyle store stockers (my alterego: https://t.co/HiTkhgrXjd); Turning physical gifts into AI-driven websites for friends.

6. I’ve always betted heavily on non-linear career streams, now convinced more so about it. With everyone now being a builder, the focus is back to having fun and exploring with child’s play, without focusing much on career streams, departments, and functions (that were hardwired once). Even if AI whisperer or AI soothsayer is a path, I’m curious to see what’s in it. :p

7. Problem-solving still remains at the heart of every product building experience. The way I’m looking at career patterns and PM/product builder’s process is being able to bring clarity during every distress and making the team/company move forward from every quagmire - the roadmaps and future will unfold themselves once you comfortably take the first step to step out of the flux. Oscillating roadmap isn’t the challenge, being able to stick to clarity and focus while still dynamically executing over shorter sprints is the key.

8. Learning AI without same—one of the many reasons I love hanging out with people through podcasts, Zoom calls, and IRL coffee catchups. There’s so much to discover by knowing what’s running in people’s minds, how they use AI, and taking a thing or two from each other’s work. But, hey, this also means you clearly have boundaries of what is okay for you and what isn't. So many times I’ve happily listened to people’s AI stories without me having to repeat the same thing for myself. And many a time, I’ve been inspired to create something too from their examples. All with a balance of what I truly want.

Looking forward to what’s in store for this year!

An absolutely amazing, informative, fun experience! I learnt so much about my city in a few hours that I didn’t know al my life! Do check it out 😄

@duolingo You used up a freeze 😢
And my friend streak with @samiyanasim 🥺

[Naveen .H @naavh]

Listening to @aishashok14 in conversation with @clairevo - two amazing AI builders at the bleeding edge, is just so inspiring! I wish I could get my team to build and iterate the way Claire has been 🥺

[Aishwarya Ashok @aishashok14]

When @navigotoo & I did our Chettinad art walks, one thing became clear—people enjoy and crave for ways to experience a story.

Bringing to you, artistic stories and cultural food through an immersive story-dining experience.

Weekend well spent 😁

[Aishwarya Ashok @aishashok14]

We had a good morning and blessed weather on our very-first Mylapore art walk! 🥳

The Madras junkies are all glee thanks to the rain gods and the Kalathi rose milk fuel.

Listened to this really fun, insightful conversation today! So many takeaways for someone early in product, looking to build in this ever changing world of tech that’s been conquering new frontiers

[Aishwarya Ashok @aishashok14]

Ami Vora’s experience reflects the ever-changing landscape of tech, where continuous learning is the only way to remain relevant. She constantly challenges herself with low-stakes learning experiences outside of work, like ice skating, to reinforce the mindset of growth and adaptation.

Ami reminds us that, especially in product and AI, there’s a need to embrace curiosity and let go of the pressure to always be right.

In a world where everything is evolving rapidly, embracing failure and being comfortable with not knowing is essential for continual progress.

Here’s everything we chatted about:

📌 How jokes helped her lead through hard times
📌 Turning liberal thinking into a career superpower
📌 What actually drives us? Energy over everything
📌 The hardest job I stayed in—and what it taught me
📌 Fear, feedback, and showing up anyway
📌 Context switching for humans (Not just AI)
📌 The tools I trust: Reframing, fear-setting, and closing loops
📌 AI, agency, and always being behind
📌 Being right vs being curious—the career mindset shift
📌 Execution > Strategy: Why doing beats planning
