🚨 HTML is the new Markdown, according to Thariq Shihipar (@trq212).
Thariq is the lead engineer behind Claude Code.
The guy literally ditched writing Markdown files, switching instead to Claude Code to generate his HTML.
Great article explaining why he made the switch 👀↓
My pitch to Mastercard yesterday:
“When someone leaves a job, has a baby, or runs a marathon, people usually do a WhatsApp collection or sign a card that gets thrown away.
I want Ownstory to replace that.
We let groups create shared stories with photos, videos, and personal messages while embedding a gift card or contribution directly inside it. The result is both emotional and financial, and it lasts forever.”
It was a good 30 second but the challenge was the unit economics.
The US model looked strong through Mastercard-sponsored gift cards, but our primary market is the UK where interchange fee is far 10x lower than US and we will end up giving all margin to our white label BIN sponsor.
Would love to connect with fintech experts to scale emotional commerce gift card infrastructure in UK for Ownstory

We optimized our software engineering team… then a new problem started..Tokens.
When we pivoted Ownstory, our biggest challenge wasn’t technology. It was mindset.
Some engineers found it difficult to adapt to the speed, tools, and new way of building. But as founders, standing still was never an option.
So we made one thing clear:
Optimising the tech team was Priority #1.
Our CEO, Mayooran Nava, led from the front. We embraced Claude Code workflows, restructured how engineering operated, and the team came out stronger, faster, and sharper.
But transformation always brings the next challenge.
We reduced human costs… and suddenly AI token costs started climbing fast.
That’s when Ben Collins introduced us to WOZCODE.
The result? Lowered Claude-related costs by 25% to 40% and More sustainable AI-led development.
Every optimisation creates a new bottleneck. Great founders solve the next one before it becomes a crisis.
IYKYK ... I am going to slay for FR ..
Most people are welcomed 2026 with polished roadmaps, bold visions, and predictions about changing tech world.
But I on the other hand, have started the year trying to understand Gen Z vocabulary.
We’ve onboarded an impressive bunch of interns in the UK and I got weekly one mentoring session with them, and my current leadership challenge is understanding Gen Z vocabulary.
Apparently my day now includes words like: Bussin, Ghosting, IYKYK, Sus, Flex, Delulu, Shook, Low-key, High-key etc etc ..
Before talking about AI, vector DB, or scaling globally, I might need a Gen Z crash course
That said, building teams across generations is one of the best parts of leadership. I feel like stay sharp, stay curious and sometimes I realise the future of work already walked into my office.
AI can wait. First task of 2026: decode Gen Z and lead from the front (without sounding sus)

You’ve kept the goal with all your heart for so many years. Your dedication, commitment, and enthusiasm for the sport have always been unmatched.
This Olympics, especially the match against Great Britain, where we played with 10 men for about 42 minutes, you were magnificent.
Indian Hockey was privileged to have you. Thank you for the sacrifices. Wish you the best for the second half of your life and career.
