AI is Not Magic; It’s a Working Dog
You have to feed it a steady diet of premium kibble. You must constantly inspect its poop for worms. But if it jumps the fence and bites the mailman, they do not sue the breeder.
You are holding the leash.

Great to be back in Hyderabad for @AlgoFoundation’s Startup Lab Demo Day. Bharat’s #web3 founders are some of the most innovative and committed in the world; of course, the best building for scale are building on #Algorand.

Deep gratitude to our partners at @THubHyd for supporting our startups as they go to market. Stay tuned for exciting updates as these solutions begin to scale.

We all encounter data gremlins. They're part of the journey. But do we truly learn from each encounter? Or do we fix it and forget, until the next time?
If we think of it as the data's own 'lessons learned' archive, it can help mature the data quality approach. #DragonflyData

Actionable Data Quality: Moving Beyond Awareness to Resolution

#ActionableDataQuality #DataGovernance #ProactiveDQ #DragonflyData

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

Many of us talk about data quality. But we need to talk about making the data quality actionable. Can the tools you use prevent the issue, or ensure an effective response, at least halt the data pipeline when critical errors are detected, preventing the spread of corrupted data.

Ever wondered what will be the equivalent of JIT compilation for AI Agents? Will it be AI-generated code?

@TataTeleBiz This is so amazing; so you post "share details with us" to save face and then disappear again? No communication from anyone from TataTele, and the issue still persists!

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

@TataTeleBiz Your Engineers reduced my bandwidth to 40% to service "another client" without my approval or knowledge and continue to charge me for 100%. All I am getting from Apallete for the last 1.5 months is a canned response "looking into this". Do you listen on Twitter?

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

@MCA21India Is there anyone listening on Twitter?

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

@MCA21India Need help with data corruption on your backend. A few days after registering my LLP, my DIN automatically moved to an unrelated company. My LLP now shows only 1 designated partner, and I own 20% of a random company! Clearly, some backed fixing has gone terribly wrong!

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

I am unable to open a bank account for my LLP and am unable to raise invoices. All I hear on the call center is a canned response of "we have registered your complaint".

Completely blocked! Need a resolution, please.

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

@TataTeleBiz It has been two days, and I have shared the details with you, but no one has contacted me, and my issue is not resolved either!

This is no different than email! Seems your customer service is just bad!

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

@unclebobmartin @twistedhardware I beleive you are referring to the piece about "there will be code". And as @unclebobmartin says in the book: how we went from Basic to Java, we'll go to AI as a programming language. There will be devs unaware of what it spews, just how today people are unaware of the bytecode!

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

Non-functional requirements such as Unit Tests (or Clean Code practices in general) affect time to market is a myth peddled by underperformers.
Change my mind.

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

Heard an argument today: I do stuff manually because I don't have time to innovate! (or to find automated solutions.)
Wondering when has anyone ever innovated when not under pressure?

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

@christianhujer Rync and then git reset hard for a quick cleanup?

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

@itst @christianhujer Got clone, and then git remote set url origin?

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

@christianhujer Best part about plantUML, it's plaintext and so these whiteboards get saved in code as documents, they get git versioned and you can search text in them. The syntax is intuitive and someone can read them in text format as well, but also have IDE plugins for rendering.

[Nikhil Wanpal @nikhilwanpal]

@christianhujer Diagrams are helpful, whether you use UML is different. I personally use plantUML as a whiteboarding tool. While discussing with team, I often draw things to convey/understand eachother better. From UML perspective activity, state and component diagrams I probably use the most.
