Be careful of people who claim they have it all figured out. No one has, and the one claiming has something to sell you.

[Arpit Bhayani @arpit_bhayani]

First, the cloud gave us abstractions that made it easier to forget failure. Infrastructure became someone else's problem, and many systems were designed around happy paths with reliability added later ... managed services remain up ...

Now, it is an AI speed-at-all-costs culture that is forcing us to ship code that just works 80% of the time, because it is okay if things fail 20% of the time, but we need to ship faster.

Software was supposed to be predictable. Somewhere along the way, we started treating reliability as a tradeoff, and it is now becoming the norm. I do hope we come back to building software that people can depend on and something we are proud of.

5 hours of coding vs 5 hours of agentic workflows is a completely different cognitive load. a day spent deciding priority, implementation, and taste is so much more draining than solving line by line

Hermes can now command an army of coding agents. One prompt, multiple agents spawned. Multiple PRs land all in parallel.

Empathy is what separates great engineers from code monkeys.

Being non-empathetic is actually costing you opportunities and career growth. Let me elaborate...

Remember, your job is to solve a problem, not just write code. You are not a code monkey who just hammers the keyboard. You are on a journey to build something that millions use, and for that, you have to

- build a great product
- operate effectively at your workplace

By thinking deeply about user experience and product flow, you can design your system better, plan future features, and keep your code extensible. Moreover,

- you ask the right questions during discussions
- you think of edge cases that others might miss
- your code stays flexible in the right places
- you can push back on bad designs with better justifications

When you understand how people actually use software, you build flexible systems instead of rigid solutions that break with the first change request.

Too many engineers skip this because it feels like "extra work" - but it's the work that makes all the difference.

Beyond product thinking, if you are empathetic, you communicate better with peers, product managers, designers, and stakeholders. By being a great operator, you improve your reputation and build trust, leading to more impactful work.

The most impactful projects aren't given to the smartest engineer, but to the one who shows they care enough to deliver real value, every time.

No Claude, the project will not take me 2-3 months.

We will finish it today.

Airbus has opened a 5,000-seat India Technology Centre in Bengaluru to expand engineering, digital and customer services capabilities. The hub strengthens Airbus’ India footprint and aerospace R&D ecosystem.

Not sounding triumphalist but no country will be producing semiconductor design talent at this scale. (not necessarily due to state- run training initiatives like this though the government deserves credit for the heavy lifting to seed a fledgling domestic semiconductor ecosystem)

But question remains whether a lot of this talent be directed in to domestic design firms doing cutting-edge work and help them scale.

Otherwise India risks remaining what it already is. The world’s largest supplier of semiconductor design talent to global firms.

It is possible that 25 %+ of the world’s semiconductor design engineers are already likely to be in India considering every major fabless chip firm runs large design centres here.

#WATCH | Darjeeling, West Bengal | President Droupadi Murmu says, "Today was the International Santal Conference. When I came here after attending it, I realised it would have been better if it had been held here, because the area is so vast... I don't know what went through the administration's mind... They said no, the place is congested. But I think five lakh people could gather here easily. But I don't know why they took us there... I don't know what went through the administration's mind that they chose a place for the conference where the Santal people couldn't go... I am very sad that the people here were unable to reach the conference because it was held so far away. Perhaps the administration had hoped that no one would be able to attend, and the President would simply turn around and leave... If the President visits a place, the Chief Minister and the Ministers should also come. But she did not... I am also a daughter of Bengal... Mamata Didi is also my sister, my younger sister. I don't know if she was angry with me, that's why this happened..."

While the Galgotia Univ fiasco is an embarrassment , please let’s not take away the spotlight from the many wonderful start ups that are making some amazingly innovative AI models at the AI summit . They deserve more recognition just as GU needs to be censured. #Galgotia

ok hear me out - TikTok but for accepting PR suggestions from background agents running over your codebases…

Doom scroll your codebase better?
