@atmoio Great video, especially with the deep insights and humor. But i think he made solid points in the article regardless of how he exaggerated certain things.
my 2025 wrap.
i turned 20 today. generational run type year. still feels unreal. here's a 2024 + 2025 recap:
> landed @meta before i turned 18. worked on @instagram's auth infra.
> named a @DEShawGroup Latitude Fellow. 1 of 47 nationwide
> landed @apple at 19. did ML in Cellular Engineering (WTE) cupertino
> published ML research under my professor at @HowardU
> taught myself swift overnight to build an iOS app for @hack_harvard and won the track
> @NASA RockSat-C program. built a robotic arm for suturing in space. we had to test it under some of the most insane vibration conditions (genuinely one of the hardest things i’ve ever done)
> contributed to a couple opensource repos
> research w @NIH AIM-AHEAD
> 2nd place at @nvidia agents for impact. built a layer on top of @meta ray-ban glasses for real-time voice first aid + cpr coaching. @baxate_carter loved it
> touched 12+ states. red-eyes between sf, labs, hackathons, conferences, people, everything!!!
> shipped products @tryspawnlabs@deepubuntu, and others doing upwards ~$20k in quarterly revenue
> secured $50k+ in scholarships from @amazon, @tmcf_hbcu, @UNCF, @Boeing, @Chevron among others for academic excellence.
> finally met a bunch of online friends irl @tedddyoweh@clintonimaro, @TomiTokko3
> spent a lot of time this year building and learning around physical intelligence, perception & manipulation, robotics, humanoids, embodied ai, egocentric data, and vlms
2026 goals. saying it out loud:
> @ycombinator Spring 2026
> publish this paper on embodied ai & egocentric data for robots (thanks @eddybuild)
> gym consistency
> win some. lose some. keep going
> tweet more lol
i shipped a lot this year.. probably a little too much cause i noticed i need to spend more time with friends and family. got the best advice from @tundespeaks - gtfolh.
if you told me this in 2022 i wouldn’t believe you. ngmi isn’t an option.
back to work @letstrace
merry christmas, everyone🎄
@ankitdongre100 I checked out GTWY and it looks like it can save me a lot of trouble. I will take my time to read through the documentation.
Hopefully we can collaborate in the future😅
This was helpful. I built my first AI agent with OpenAI, langchain and Vercel SDK.
I had hard time with the RAG process either because of my local network provider or I wasn’t just doing something right😅
Anyway, here is a football stat agent: https://t.co/uTdpByNA4x
@realTIK_ Great place to start:
James Briggs (RAG, embeddings)
Pinecone + LangChain JS tutorials
Vercel AI SDK for building small agents
If you want to avoid the whole infra headache while learning, GTWY gives you RAG + agents out of the box (and they’ve made it lifetime free for now).
You can’t change someone. But you will anyway.
Not through arguments or ultimatums or that thing you do where you get really quiet and hope they’ll notice you’re upset. (They never do, by the way. They just think you’re tired.) You’ll change them the way water changes stone, by being around them long enough that they start to see themselves through your eyes.
I dated someone who interrupted everyone. Constantly. Mid-sentence, mid-thought, didn’t matter. It drove me insane for months. Then one night at dinner with friends, I watched her do it again, and this time she caught herself. She looked at me, then back at the person she’d cut off, and said, “Sorry, keep going.” Nobody else even noticed. But I knew: she’d started hearing herself the way I heard her.
That’s the thing they don’t mention when they say “accept people as they are.” You do accept them. And then they feel that acceptance so deeply that they finally have enough safety to look at the parts of themselves they’ve been running from their whole lives. Not because you demanded it. Because you made space for it.
But here’s the trap: if you’re asking “can I change her” with a specific outcome in mind, you’ve already lost. You’re not in a relationship anymore. You’re in a renovation project. And people can smell that a mile away. They can feel when your love has conditions attached. It makes them smaller, more defended, and less likely to grow into anything you’d actually want. Honestly, it usually just makes them better at hiding.
The real question isn’t whether you can change someone. It’s whether you can love someone enough that they feel free to change themselves. And whether the direction they’re growing is toward you or away from you.
Sometimes you date someone, and she becomes kinder, more thoughtful, and more herself. Sometimes she becomes exactly who she’s always been, just louder. And sometimes, this is the one that hurts; she grows into someone beautiful. Just not someone beautiful for you.
You can’t control which one happens. You can only decide how long you’re willing to wait to find out.
Incase you missed it, incredible things are happening in the front end design world:
