Indian ISPs blocked @supabase . My app broke overnight. So I built a free Cloudflare proxy to fix it — one line change, no VPN. https://t.co/0vSCuiYwfD
"Your first job does more than pay your salary. It shapes your professional mindset. Sometimes in a good way. Sometimes in a way you spend years unlearning."
@sharbelcherian , CEO at KeyValue said this on the Kerala Product Hunt (KPH) Podcast and honestly, it's hard to disagree.
Most fresh graduates have only a very vague idea of what professional life looks like.
College gives them the foundation, the structure, and in many ways some of the best years of their life.
But it was never designed to prepare them for what work actually feels like from the inside.
That only comes from being inside an organization. It comes from watching how people operate under pressure, how ownership is handled, and how mistakes are treated.
Most importantly, it comes from seeing how leadership acts and makes decisions when things go wrong.
That environment becomes their first learning point. And learning points are powerful because they quietly define what they think is normal.
If their first workplace has people who take ownership, communicate honestly and push each other to grow, that starts to feel like the standard.
They carry that with them. But if their first experience is the opposite, that becomes their baseline too, sometimes without them even realizing it.
And the tricky part is those early patterns, the way they see feedback, the way they handle pressure stay with them long after they've moved on.
Remember, your first job doesn't decide your future. You can always pivot and that door never really closes. But it does shape how you see work, leadership and your own potential for a long time.
For founders and leaders, this is the part I keep coming back to. The culture you build, the way you communicate, the standards you hold, someone in your team right now is forming their first real understanding of professional life through what you're showing them.
A positive environment is not a perk. It is what determines whether your people actually grow or just get through the days. Your learnings become their learnings, but only if the ground is right for it.
That's not a small thing.

1/ We are sharing additional details regarding our investigation into unauthorized access to GitHub's internal repositories.
Yesterday we detected and contained a compromise of an employee device involving a poisoned VS Code extension. We removed the malicious extension version, isolated the endpoint, and began incident response immediately.
Inspired by @sunithvs_ and a few others building around the new government, I wanted to try something fun. CM SIM!!
You handle Kerala's budget, but there's a catch: you have to fulfill all the manifesto promises without bankrupting the treasury.

@claudeai While still at dinner:
product idea got finalised
backend architecture was planned
feature list was ready
UI discussions started
Then the team joined.
Called Faheem for opinions.
Rivin and Ashiq handled branding, posters, and creatives.
@claudeai It all started during dinner.
Me and Abid were discussing who could become the next CM of Kerala.
Every Instagram comment section was filled with people debating politics and supporting different leaders.
Then one thought came:
“What if we build a public polling platform ?"
i built a quick tool to gauge real public opinion on Kerala's next Chief Minister!
After UDF's big win and Pinarayi Vijayan's resignation, who should lead Kerala?
