As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:
1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales
Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.
A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:
- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2
Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?
The latest @cars24india campaign on bringing accountability is a blatant breach of privacy for someone. While the intention is good but execution is disappointing. This ready access to information is only for the involved folks i.e. RTO and potential offender. @vikramchopra
@chiragbarjatya The density of fuels at @Shell stations is usually higher, which helps in better lubrication and more power per cycle of combustion. Which leads to lower RPMs for engine to maintain the speed.
This is a fantastic promo! And coming from a Coimbatore-based ad agency (Desert Hawk) for a Coimbatore-owned brand... even more impressive! Watch it first and then read the rest 👇

Not just the oldest, she was the heart of the herd, the nani everyone adored.
Vatsala, the gentle matriarch of Panna Tiger Reserve, passed away at over 100 years of age. She was the beloved nani of the jungle — gentle and deeply loved.
When a calf was born, she would quietly walk over and take her place beside the mother. She stood watch, comforted, and cared just like a grandmother would. She was calm, patient, and so nurturing that forest officials called her a midwife.
As she aged, her body slowed down. She lost her eyesight. The forest team noticed she could no longer walk far, so they cared for her like one of their own.
Every morning, they gently guided her to the Khairaiyaan drain for a bath. They fed her warm bowls of porridge and kept her under constant medical care.
She spent her final years in peace, surrounded by love and dignity.
On July 8, she lay down near the stream she loved. The team tried to help her stand, but she stayed still. Vatsala passed away that afternoon.
She gave the forest a century of devotion. What she leaves behind is not just memory. It is a legacy.

A roundabout without signals works in high-trust societies where people naturally yield and take turns.
In a low-trust society, it turns into a battle of horns, aggression, and “me first” chaos.

This cab driver addressed privacy concerns in cabs which have dashboard cameras through this video.
He shouldn't have blurred the video though. Everyone should know who was this chutiya.
How can we restrain the shelling from across the border. We must defend ourselves. My prayers are with the injured and affected people. https://t.co/OQr45HGwGD
