Who do we become when the things we build learn to build without us?
Co-founder, Spetia Engineering.

The importance of a founder’s domain expertise is underrated.

You may be the first to conceive an idea or truly understand the significance of the problem you're solving.

But if you don’t understand the industry deeply enough, you'll struggle to move fast.

Speed is everything

the winners in all of this will be AI-native service providers that build the infrastructure and automation for the work itself.

Every piece of software is now effectively open source except the model weights. which means SaaS is officially dead and the only moat is your alpha; proprietary data, operating IP, decision architecture, institutional knowledge. Everything else has become table stakes.

Cognitive revolution.

[Sathya Srikanth @sath_shrik]

An interesting observation is that whenever tensions are high between major powers, there seems to be a higher chance of an industrial revolution happening. We saw something similar around Industrial Revolutions 1 and 2, and then again during the Cold War.

The signing of the White House Accord on Super Intelligence (October 1 2026) will mark the beginning of the Intelligence Revolution and begin the Age of Intelligence.

@AzureSupport @MicrosoftIndia @MicrosoftHelps I am not asking Microsoft to pretend the usage never happened.
I’m asking for a human to review a one-time goodwill credit / special exception and stop the Microsoft Anthropic routing loop.

I already have open Azure + Microsoft for Startups support cases and can provide the IDs

[Sathya Srikanth @sath_shrik]

@AzureSupport @MicrosoftIndia @MicrosoftHelps My issue is that the deployment flow did not clearly surface to me that Claude would bypass my Microsoft for Startups credits and generate a separate paid charge.

Had that been explicit before deployment, I would have used an eligible model.

@AzureSupport @MicrosoftIndia @MicrosoftHelps This exact Claude/Foundry startup-credit confusion has been raised on Microsoft’s own Q&A before.

In a similar case, the founder later reported receiving a $1,000 Microsoft credit as a “special exception” for unintended usage.

My entire invoice is below that amount.
