I've always thought that it'd be cool to build my own cryptocurrency, so I built $MNE from scratch to put to test whatever I learnt about blockchain development.

@moshhamedani I was asked in an interview how I would handle situations where non technical people push code to production. The company said they actively do it. I told them they shouldn't. I guess you can extrapolate what happened next
so... I audited Garry's website after he bragged about 37K LOC/day and a 72-day shipping streak.
here's what 78,400 lines of AI slop code actually looks like in production.

@nico_jeannen I recently installed Windsurf. It has better pricing and supposed to be greatbwith large and complex codebases. I am yet to try it though
In 2020, we did something very odd. Well, K (Kailash, CTO) did. He helped open-source Alar, a Kannada–English dictionary. It's a little absurd, considering we're a stockbroking company, but the project itself is one of monumental importance.
The story of how Alar came to be is even more inspiring. It was essentially the life's work of one man: V. Krishna.
Alar is the online version of what he had built over 40 years—researching, writing, and cataloguing more than 150,000 Kannada words and 240,000 English definitions, complete with all their attendant details. Just thinking about someone spending four decades relentlessly pursuing one single project is beyond inspiring. Oh, and he is still working on adding to the corpus. That @zerodha had even a small role to play in this is deeply gratifying.
It has now been five years since Alar launched, and over two lakh people visit it every month. It also just received a major update, faster than ever. And K has been working on improving dictpress, the underlying open-source technology that powers the creation of online dictionaries includng Alar.
So if, by any chance, you're obsessed with languages and dictionaries and have been wondering how to build one online, you should definitely check it out. (link in comments)
@AnupamMittal Just hire according to your budget. Why should someone's worth be determined by what their previous employer paid them? What if they were undervalued to begin with?
These relative numbers don't make any sense.
I agree with only the part about the market deciding
@AravSrinivas I'm interested to see the trajectory of this product. I do hope that it comes to fruition fully. I don't think you require AI for such analysis but this is using tech for good. Way to go!
