@vaibhaw_vipul Woww, never thought I will read those words in a text where dahi chura is mentioned.
Will definitely give this a try!
What's next? Whey filled Litti 🤔

Nobody in India is against villages getting internet, Elon.
India is against one man holding the off switch.
You already showed us how that works. Ukraine was running tens of thousands of your terminals in a war, and you personally refused to extend coverage near Crimea. Their sea drones lost signal mid-mission. A sovereign country's military operation, cancelled by a businessman's mood.
Then Manipur, December 2024. Our army raids a militant cache. Sitting next to the guns: a Starlink dish. You said the beams were never on over India. Fine. Then explain how your hardware keeps turning up with smugglers and insurgents.
And yesterday you called India's delay a crime against the people of India and blamed unnamed oligarchs. No names. No proof. Just pressure.
Starlink isn't banned. It already has its DoT licence and space regulator approval. What's left is spectrum and security clearance. That's not a conspiracy. That's a country doing its homework before letting a foreign satellite network bypass its own communication controls.
So yes, bring Starlink to that village. Gladly.
On India's terms. Data stays here. Audits happen here. And no switch in Texas decides what works over Indian soil during a crisis.
That's not anti-progress. That's what sovereignty looks like.
I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.
