Hiring our first dedicated RAG + memory engineer at glymph.

we capture who said and what's said in a room, on-device. turning that into memory people can actually use is the hard part. it's where we could definitely do better right now.

2-4 yrs. you've built retrieval systems and made them accurate, not just wired up a vector db and prayed.

generalist energy. takes a vague problem and ships.
bonus if you've touched TTS — voice-first output is next.

Hyderabad, in person, with the team.

dm me and bring something you've built and broken.

Day 196 :

bramma transcribed english cleanly but kept hallucinating telugu — confidently writing down words nobody said. we assumed it was the messy telugu audio, the accents, the code-switching. wasn't any of that. the model was just too small to hold the language. sized it up and the ghosts went quiet.

[Pruthvi Raj Mudunuri @Mkpruthviraj]

Built bramma for 6.5 months. posted none of it. that's the mistake i'm fixing today.
idea -> working device in that time: a puck that sits in a room, listens with consent, and turns what's said into memory the org can actually use - who decided what, and why.
None of it solo. @chaturrved was the first to believe and build it with me.
From tomorrow, the whole journey in the open. the wins and the broken days. every one.

Everyone keeps saying AI will replace programmers.
Honestly, it sounds very smart… till you actually ship software and live with it.

Yes, AI writes a lot of code now. I use it daily. Most teams do. That’s not the debate. The real thing people miss is that building software is not about making something work once.

The real work starts later.
Maintaining it. Changing it. Fixing things when something breaks at the worst possible time. And suddenly you’re stuck with a codebase that technically works, but nobody really understands.

That’s when you realise writing code is just 20–30% of the journey. The rest is judgment. Knowing what to build, what not to build, and when to say “this is a bad idea” even if it runs fine today.

AI is a powerful tool. No doubt.
But it doesn’t own consequences.

You still need engineers who understand the code and the business well enough to stop mistakes before they become expensive lessons.

Don't you think that we are overhyping speed and forgetting responsibility?

Happy new year : )

[Paul Graham @paulg]

If I could send my 18 year old self a message, it would have three parts:

1. Prestige is often mistaken. Follow curiosity instead.

2. There's no way to avoid hard work. It's not sufficient, but it is necessary.

3. Don't take your parents for granted.

[Arpit Bhayani @arpit_bhayani]

The more you learn, the easier it gets.

The hardest part of anything is the beginning, when everything feels unfamiliar and complex. But learning compounds.

Each lesson builds on the last, making what once seemed impossible feel effortless. Keep pushing through the discomfort.

And you'll realize you're capable of far more than you thought.

[Raj Shamani @rajshamani]

The easiest way to control the urge to give in to your bad habits is to imagine how you’ll feel after doing it.

Like, imagine the emotions that come after procrastinating or overeating.

Pre-experiencing the consequences helps your brain resist the impulse.

The only time you truly fail, is when you decide to give up.

Why I always start with the fundamentals (even when students want to skip ahead) 👇

I read this student feedback last week that made me smile:
"..𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒑𝒔 𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆, 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒓 𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏 𝑰𝑫𝑬, 𝒂 𝒅𝒆𝒗'𝒔 '𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒆𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕', 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒍𝒔, 𝒆𝒕𝒄.

Yes, this is exactly why I designed the bootcamp to cover the fundamentals first.

Most people want to jump straight to Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, the "cool stuff."

I get it. But here's the thing:

If you don't know what problem a tool solves, you're just memorizing commands.

When this student - coming from Ops - manually set up a dev environment, they felt the actual pain.

Now containers will make sense.

Same goes the other way.

Developers who skip Linux and OS fundamentals?

They struggle later. They don't understand why their app crashes, why permissions matter, how processes actually work.

Both sides need the foundation.

Ops people need to understand dev workflows.
Dev people need to understand the system their code runs on.

I could start the bootcamp with "Here's Docker, run these commands."

But then it's just another tool to remember. Instead, we do it the hard way first.

We feel the friction. THEN the solution clicks.

(And yes, AI makes this worse. Now people copy-paste solutions without understanding anything. Then wonder why nothing works when they need to debug.)

Fundamentals aren't boring. They're context.

They're the difference between knowing HOW to use a tool and understanding WHY it exists.

Skip them, and you'll always be guessing.

💬 What's a fundamental you wish you'd learned earlier?

[Paras Chopra @paraschopra]

An open secret about exercise is that initially everyone hates it, but after a while it becomes such a joy that you start missing it on the days you don’t work out.

Remember to just push through the initial phase and build it in a habit. Your future self will thank you for that.

i need to learn how to talk better when its technical bro

i got so much stuff in my head and then i say the most basic shit

maybe its sleep

never skip sleep

Donald Trump’s 100,000 H-1B fee will choke U.S. innovation, and turbocharge India’s. By slamming the door on global talent, America pushes the next wave of labs, patents, innovation and startups to Bangalore and Hyderabad, Pune and Gurgaon . India’s finest Doctors, engineers, scientists, innovators have an opportunity to contribute to India’s growth & progress towards #ViksitBharat. America’s loss will be India’s gain.
