@INDmoneyApp how is this “zero commission” investing? Your website advertises zero commission, but US stock trades now attract ~0.3% on both buying and selling. That's nearly 0.6% per round trip. When was this introduced? Were existing customers notified? And why isn't the fee clearly labelled?

FeedFoundry may currently be the world’s best RSS generator for its total addressable market of exactly one user: me 😂

But that’s also the point. Software that was never economically worth building can now exist.

Have a small annoying problem?

Build the thing. Then make it less bad. Then keep going.

[Aman Singhal @theStormbane]

I use Feedly to keep up with blogs and publications. If you use any RSS readers, you’ll know this annoyance:

To follow a blog, you need its RSS URL. Some publications expose one, but a surprising number don’t. So you either give up, hunt around the source code, or use one of the existing “RSS generator” tools.

What’s been most empowering is that I’m not an engineer.

I’ve spent years working with engineers as a PM/founder, so I understand systems conceptually — but historically there was a very hard boundary between: “I know how this should work” and “I can actually make it work.”

That boundary is disappearing very, very quickly.

Started tinkering with Claude Code after a long stretch of inertia. Built a Chrome extension end-to-end — a currency converter so I don't have to leave the tab and Google every time. Nothing fancy, but building exactly what I wanted in one sitting feels like magic.

Start small!

Elon Musk seems so chaotic from the outside, but if you think about it deeply… he’s a coherent genius

Every scaled company has a 'Zeus'.

People optimizing for optics are just responding to what the system actually rewards. Great thread 🧵

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

Why do companies with major resources & distribution make products that are mediocre & often fail to reach their potential?

There are a handful of reasons, many of which you already know. But there is one under-discussed reason: Operators Optimizing for Optics

@makemytripcare @makemytrip @MoCA_GoI request your intervention here.

[Aman Singhal @theStormbane]

@makemytrip @makemytripcare I’ve been going in circles with your useless AI bot for days now, and there is ZERO way to reach an actual human being on your support team. This is about one of my cancelled flights, and the complete lack of any support at this point is frustrating.

[Aman Singhal @theStormbane]

@makemytripcare @makemytrip @makemytripcare I’ve been DM-ing you back and forth without getting any relevant/non-AI response. What on earth would it take to connect with an actual human, either through text or call? Never imagined MMT’s service could drop to this level.

[Aman Singhal @theStormbane]

Just wrapped up @shreyas' Product Sense course, and honestly - what a journey! Made me realize so many biases I didn't realize I was carrying. Lots of learnings (and unlearnings). Highly recommend if you're a PM and think you've got it all figured out. (Spoiler: you don't)

@omanair Have already emailed and followed up on this email several times with no response.

[Aman Singhal @theStormbane]

@omanair @OmanairH78060 I’ve emailed your support multiple times regarding my booking from BLR to IST but haven’t received any response yet. Given the ongoing regional conflict / Middle East airspace uncertainty, I’m seeking help on a cancellation waiver. Please respond urgently.
