So my kid brother was going through some stuff left by our great grandfather and he stumbled upon this.

Employment Vs Relationships

Moonlighting = Sidechick/Sidenigga
Talking to a recruiter = Talking stage
PIP = We need to talk!
1:1s = Dates
Layoff = Its not you, its me!

What else ?

The Cloudfare outage on 18th November was because of a Clickhouse issue!.

Apparently not everyone can tame the beast 🤓

@tankots @WisprFlow Launch @WisprFlow for Linux already! Otherwise, the Wispr Flow subscription will end up costing me the extra price of buying a MacBook Pro

Coding used to be fun. You would get a new feature to implement and just jump in. First in your head, then with some rough sketches on paper, then straight into the editor until it worked. Every feature felt like its own puzzle. Some were tough Sudokus that really challenged your brain, some were easy warm-ups. But there was always that sense of uncertainty. Not whether you would solve it, you knew you would. The question was always when. That timing was the real draw. That feeling is disappearing from coding now. I just rewrote several of my small personal tools in Go, things I used to struggle with, and it felt flat. Even in a language I hardly know, I can ship features as fast as or faster than someone who has been using Go for years. There is almost no uncertainty left. No genuine moment of doubt about whether it will work. Just prompt, adjust, done. The excitement is gone. Some say coding skills have simply been replaced by the ability to talk to AI agents. That may be true. But that is exactly the problem. Now being a good developer feels a lot like being an engineering manager. You are no longer deep in the problem solving yourself. You are the one assigning tasks and saying make it happen. The best part of coding was that it let you avoid all that human delegation. No middleman. Just you and the problem. Imagine if your brain wiring, autism, hyperfocus, whatever it is, did not make social things harder, and instead you could spend the whole day solving difficult math problems and feel completely in your element. That is what coding used to give me. I never played sports as an adult, but after a long focused coding session I felt something close to what a footballer must feel after hours of training and a real match: exhausted, sore, proud, and satisfied. Even if I did not need to work, I would still want to do it. That deep satisfaction is what is fading now. So here I am, training myself to manage ten AI agents at the same time, like some kind of digital coordinator. It is adaptation. It is how things move forward. But it does not give the same feeling.

Gave a talk at the ClickHouse Gurgaon meetup on scaling personalised notifications at JobHai.

We handle large scale data + real-time personalization every morning for millions of users. Shared how we built the pipeline, what broke, and how we optimized it using ClickHouse.

Good discussions with the data folks there.

@_swanand Usually even after validating the JWT, there are mechanisms to check the existence of user in db or cache. A blocked user thus will be blocked at that point. Doesn’t seem that much of a trick .

Setting app limits is not working anymore, iPhone 18 better give me an electric shock if I use it for more than 30 minutes a day!
