We’ve got a great new deal that takes back control — now Parliament should get Brexit done on Saturday so we can move on to other priorities like the cost of living, the NHS, violent crime and our environment #GetBrexitDone #TakeBackControl

Money into startups has increased by 25% in three in 9 months of 2019 to $10.9 bn as compared to 2018, as per Tracxn. Startups are able to raise capital 2-3 times a year, see their valuations multiply. This is creating fears of a bubble @digbijaymishra1

From the powerful volcanoes to the inviting waters and a free spirit, #Hawaii has a lot of #ALOHA. Couldn't share anything in the past two days. Time constraints. Today, I went to the farmers' market in Waikiki. Very colourful. Very Tasty. Easy Prices. Great People.

Since January, nine places owe me money for my work. This includes public universities and media organizations. Both, temples of learning. More than not getting paid, my disappointment emanates from the radio silence to the email, text, phone reminders. #FreelancersInIndia

Hi, I am looking for a designer + hacker for a paid 60 day project with Mighty. I am looking to make a set of browser extensions to experiment with how much better a browser's UX could be. You'll work directly with me & it'll be extremely creative. U.S. based only.

DMs are open.

Fascinating how the on-demand / gig economy is fashioning the rise of an urban lower-middle class. (just as IT industry in '90s/00s led to growth of urban middle class).

All together between Zomato, Swiggy, Ola, Uber, Urban Clap etc...my sense is ~1m+ jobs created, maybe more.

Fascinating including big donation from @tferriss (lots of techie types likely among the other donors): https://t.co/j2Zpx963y9

Teachers impart not just education but also values. Achrekar Sir taught me to play straight - on the field and in life.
I shall always remain grateful to him for his immeasurable contribution in my life.
His lessons continue to guide me today. #TeachersDay

You will not remember how much money you made throughout your career.

However, you will remember every single person that graciously opened a career door for you.

Opening doors for others is important and meaningful work. Be a door opener. Be remembered.

AWS developer communities are led by a passionate set of people whose silent work often goes unnoticed. That’s why I’m excited to see our current 5 #AWS Community Heroes in #India recognized for their evangelism & customer obsession. https://t.co/pOeOmvyIHs
