The internal happiness that I get after seeing the tickets merged π₯Ήπβ¨
Getting to build data pipelines, signal screeners and ofc the TRADING logics!
Let's connect if you are building in FinTech / Prop trading / Quant ~
Went to a pizza party hosted by @pizza_dao & @anshitaksoni this evening.
But it wasn't about the pizza.
@anshitaksoni is juggling a hundred things, she still showed up & built a room where builders, devs & creators could just talk.
That's rare. That's intentional.
ππ§΅
My learning?
In that room you could've pitched your idea, found a collaborator, or gotten your first 20 users... all over a slice.
Are you actually using these moments or just attending them?
just submitted rpc-stats to @colosseum Frontier.
the idea is simple: every RPC provider claims they're the best at landing transactions. none of them can prove it.
so we built a system that tests helius, triton, and alchemy every 30 seconds. on-chain verified via geyser. live public leaderboard.
no marketing. just data.

You're in a Tier 2,Tier 3 college
Cool. Nobody cares.
You either build your way out or cry about placements for 4 years.
No one's coming to save you.
Not your HOD, not your "training & placement cell"
It's just you, internet, and how bad you want out.
Perks of being in a Tier 3 college:
- Surrounded by low ambition, you slowly start lowering your own bar too. (Most people are just there for timepass)
- Lifeβs ultimate mission: get a banda/bandi.
- βSkills?β unheard of. Semester exams are the only religion.
- Attendance turns into an Olympic level competition.
- Canβt go to hackathonsβ¦ not because you donβt want to, but because you canβt find a solid team.
- Try being serious and people hit you with: βMehnat hi karni thi toh JEE mein kar lete.β
Senior Designer: βΉ22L salary, 6 years at company.
Asked for raise to βΉ35L (market rate).
Boss: "That's unrealistic. Be grateful."
She: Applied elsewhere quietly.
3 offers in 2 weeks:
- Company A: βΉ32L
- Company B: βΉ38L + ESOPs
- Company C: βΉ42L
Took Company B.
2 years later with ESOP vesting: βΉ58L total comp.
Old boss still hiring at βΉ24L for her role.
Moral:
"Know your worth. Then go where it's paid."
