My husband and I are currently giving each other massages in a dark room.
Not for the reason you think.
We just spent 4 hours rocking our infant to sleep. He is not asleep yet. Send help and glute strengthening exercises. 😭

[srinidy @srinidyR]

it’s the first week of your child’s school/ your new job. They sends a form. you need all the details - like emergency contact, doctor, allergies, insurance, previous paystubs, you

[srinidy @srinidyR]

Which device do you use to fill important forms?

[srinidy @srinidyR]

how do you fill important forms?

[srinidy @srinidyR]

I swear!! Want to optimise running claude while I’m asleep, so i wake up to the new magic it cooked up!

[Julien Barbier 🙃❤️🏴‍☠️ @jbarbier]

Using Claude Code has a weird side effect: You don't just get more productive, you actually want to work more.

There's something addictive about watching a product being born in real time in front of your eyes.

"One last feature" after "one last feature" and it's already past 3am.

[srinidy @srinidyR]

I’m back 👋

Had a baby. filled approximately 4000 forms. developed strong opinions about all of it.

starting tomorrow i’m posting one poll a day for 10 days. i have questions, you have nothing better to do, guess this works for both of us. come hang and answer my polls 🔫😬

[Priyanshu Ratnakar @0xratnakar]

the impact ai summit in delhi was a perfect demonstration of why india keeps losing in tech

and i’m tired of pretending it wasn’t a disaster.

let me paint the actual picture:

> cash-only payments at a “digital india” upi ??
> pm visit → main hall cleared for hours, everyone else just stood around doing nothing
> exhibitors locked out of their own stalls
> 3-hour queue just to enter
> a founder’s product got stolen during the summit
> no wifi at an ai event.
> can’t take your keys if you came via car/bike
> no laptop/camera at tech event
> people were asked to sit on the ground
> speaker lineup with consultants/bureaucrats who’ve never shipped a real product
> the registration system crashed multiple times. people who registered weeks in advance couldn’t get in.

vips walked past massive queues while founders and builders stood outside in the heat. 🤡

and 27 countries witnessed all of this live

networking areas? no space to stand.

many demos didn’t work because there was no stable internet. 5g??

this is what happens when optics matter more than execution.
when innovation becomes photo-op

the sad part is india has insane talent.

founders building world class products.
engineers and researchers doing real work.

leave India for a sec, im at network school and the youngest crowd is all Indians.

but we keep shooting ourselves in the foot with performative nonsense.

the west isn’t winning because they’re smarter.
they’re winning because they care about details.

because they respect builders.
because their tech summits actually work.

same story when @sama came to india last time.
boomer uncles asked the dumbest questions.
and when he said it’s hard for india to build foundational models, we took it on our ego.

rn, every founder who attended left embarrassed.

imagine international delegate left with stories about our “infrastructure.”

many friends and young builder lost a little more faith.

this wasn’t just bad planning.
it was a signal of what we value.
and clearly, it’s security theater and photo-ops over builders.

we can do better.
we have the talent.
we have the market.
we have the potential.

what we don’t have is execution and respect for the people building the future.

maybe one day we will do better. till then if you’re a founder, ignore the noise. keep building.

[David Lieb @dflieb]

“Well you see, honey, there were some employees at OpenAI who worried about the AI taking over, so they built a thing called Claude. Then another guy made a thing called Clawdbot, and Claude made him rename it to Moltbot. Then someone made a website called Moltbook for the Moltbots to talk to each other, tho it’s more like Moltreddit. And yeah anyway it’s funny or maybe really bad who knows lol”

[srinidy @srinidyR]

Love this analysis!! How AI make users productive is so nuanced and 9/10 people I know don’t use it the right way!
If complex tasks like coding can be automated to a degree where we don’t even understand what goes in, we need to buckle up!

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

AI can make work faster, but a fear is that relying on it may make it harder to learn new skills on the job.

We ran an experiment with software engineers to learn more. Coding with AI led to a decrease in mastery—but this depended on how people used it.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

If you’re a new parent and not turning your baby into various WhatsApp stickers, are you even parenting right? 😂😂

[srinidy @srinidyR]

Wanted to upgrade my Kindle after loving my old one for 5 years — and I’m honestly shocked. Every step is an upsell now. Ad-supported versions, ad-removal fees, random bundles… when did Kindle become this complicated? I’m amazed and annoyed!! WTH!!

If you or someone you know has PCOS or is interested in hormone health, could you take a minute to fill this form- https://t.co/KqLLIPV87F

Retweet for good karma! Let’s shape the future of PCOS management together!

I even stayed up till midnight to verify over a video call!
My number is linked to banking, OTPs, and personal accounts. If access is lost, Airtel will be held responsible. Fix this NOW. #Airtel #ServiceFailure #CustomerAbuse

[srinidy @srinidyR]

@airtelindia @Airtel_Presence
Your support is absolutely pathetic. For over a week, I’ve been trying to get my SIM reissued while abroad. I followed every instruction..

[srinidy @srinidyR]

Your store first said my State ID is enough, now demands a visa after wasting time. My family has called your customer service 5–6 times daily for over a week. We’ve submitted my passport, State ID, authorization letter, and followed every instruction that was shared.

[srinidy @srinidyR]

Me to @juggernath13 ALL the time!! 🤣🤣

[srinidy @srinidyR]

All it took was one long drive where I made my husband listen to @AcquiredFM podcast on @IPL! Guess we have a new acquired convert in the house! 🥳🥳 such a mind blowing episode and the car rides just got a whole lot educational!
