That Rs 45 crore, adjusted for inflation, is roughly Rs 4,500 crore in today's money.

The Union government now spends that much in about 7 hours. This was the working capital for running a country of 34 crore people through Partition, a refugee crisis, and a war in Kashmir.

The first budget that followed in November 1947 raised Rs 171 crore in revenue and spent Rs 197 crore, but 47% of it went to defence because of the conflict in Kashmir and post-partition violence.

America's federal budget that same year was roughly 58 times India's entire budget. Going from there to a Rs 53.47 lakh crore budget is an insane leap and would have blown the minds of leaders of that era.

In my Applied AI Cohort, at the end, when we chit-chat, someone asked this question: Given that AI is generating most of the code, is it even useful to learn new languages deeply? Here is my take.

You should learn at least one programming language really well - like, really, really well - and know the specifics of others.

For example, if you are building something in Go for the first time, you can get far by prompting your way through it. You can ship working code without knowing the basics.

But yes, you can read the code, but can you truly understand it? Let me double down...

Go has goroutines and channels. Rust has ownership and lifetimes. These are not syntax details; they are mental models.

AI can generate code in a language you do not know, but it cannot generate intuition for a language you have never understood.

When a deadlock happens, memory usage balloons, or a race condition surfaces, you need that mental model to reason about it. AI cannot hand you that reasoning.

According to me, what AI changes is the ramp-up time - more specifically, syntax friction. That cost is now close to zero. The remaining work is the interesting part: building intuition for how the language thinks.

So, you do not need to memorize every standard library method in every language. But you do need to deeply understand at least one language and then pick up the specifics of others as needed.

That depth in one language gives you the mental model to reason about all the others.

As engineers, our job is to solve problems, not necessarily to write code.

Hope this helps.

I just woke up to a call from India. A family friend called and described his son’s situation. His son lost his job on an H-1B visa and needs to return to India in 60 days if he doesn’t find another. His son has already completed 52 days and has 8 more left. I listened and asked, “You are the one who always keeps posting that India has developed a lot under Modi, NRIs should return and serve India, America is bad, etc., on WhatsApp status. So what’s wrong with your son coming back?” He got triggered at first but later felt ashamed because I had shown him his reality.

This is the situation of the average misguided Andh Bhakt WhatsApp uncles in India.

I've been a backend Engineer for 12+ years. Today, I'm a Principal Engineer at Atlassian.

I've designed systems that handle millions of requests. Sat on both sides of system design interviews.

Reviewed more architecture docs than I can count.

Starting today, I'm breaking down the fundamentals of scaling for the next 25 days.

If you're learning system design bookmark this thread, you're going to get a lot of learning from this.

Reporter: Is there any reason why TMC MPs are joining BJP

Sudhmita: It's because they are corrupt and need to be on the safer side.

WOW.

Public display of linguistic hatred.

A cow belter Urdu speaker couldn’t stomach the fact that Urdu wasn’t spoken during Akbar’s reign, and he spoke the native languages of the region.

So much for illiterate narrative of uncultured language of gawars

the engineer who built Claude Code just dropped a 28-minute video on how to write prompts that actually work

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what he shows in the first 10 minutes

CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, prompting patterns

all in one video and completely free

after watching this, the next step is agents

I wrote a full guide on how to build one yourself with Claude Code

But listen carefully, Your Givt didn't give me my name & coaching, I'll rebuild it"

This is what happens when you question the Govt.
