🚀Launched my first product from absolute scratch on this auspicious Akshaya Tritiya!🙏
Idea → Design → Full-stack development → Self-hosted infra.

Meet https://t.co/rQRrB9qJoO — a smart AI-powered test-taking platform that doesn't just give scores...
X now loads posts and profiles 8-13x faster on slow connections, thanks to streaming server-rendered HTML and zero JS before the first post.
The fastest JS is the JS nobody waits for. Congrats @yagiznizipli and team!
Can't get more right than this.
Fundamentals will matter more as agents will blur the gap between frameworks.
Those who do not understand why abstraction was made in first place and from metal up ll repent.
My prediction for software engineering over the next 3 to 5 years.
Computer science and software engineering fundamentals will become far more valuable than knowing the latest frameworks.
If AI can write code in almost any language, knowing the nuance of another framework becomes less of a competitive advantage.
But understanding algorithms, data structures, networking, operating systems, databases, architecture and security?
That's a different story.
You still need to know:
- Why a particular architecture is appropriate.
- Why an API might fail.
- Why a database won't scale.
- Why an apparently working solution might be insecure.
A coding agent can build a solution.
But you need the knowledge to evaluate the trade-offs and recognise when it's wrong.
So, I think we'll see a renewed emphasis on the fundamentals of computer science and software engineering.
TL/DR: Learning how computers and software systems work will matter more than memorising how to use them.
What do you think?
I read 58 agentic AI job descriptions one by one (India, SG, UAE, remote etcc). 📒
What they ask for: ☕️
82% end-to-end ownership
79% Python
71% evals
68% RAG
63% cost & latency
55% system design
47% guardrails
DSA: 8%.
Shipping an agent isn't the job. Proving it works in production is.

If you're building with agents, or thinking about software factories, don't miss this new post from Matthew Goldberg about the new AWS Emulator: https://t.co/uqYSGl30VN
There are two very cool things here.
