The hardest thing to judge is what level of risk is safe

@SKundojjala Started the year guiding 11-13%, now at 21%. Everyone's fighting over GPUs while Cadence quietly bills every chip before it even exists. Picks and shovels for the picks and shovels.

@hvgoenka Hours aren't the edge, output per hour is. Europe can log off at 4 on Friday because each hour there produces several times what ours does. Close that gap and the late nights become optional.

@heyandras Every clone chain ends the same way: open source, self-hosted, on a box you own. You just started at the end.

@RealNickMugalli 16x for the company co-designing the chips Google, Meta and OpenAI use to cut their Nvidia bill. The market still prices Broadcom like a VMware licensing shop.

@mjovanovictech Same disease as "we might need to scale to a million users." So day one gets Kubernetes, three regions and a cloud bill bigger than revenue. Build for the change you have, not the one you imagine.

@BrianSozzi Renting out GPUs bought with borrowed money is a great business until the interest bill shows up before the customers do. Bare metal you own has no refinancing date.

@theo Merge conflicts were never the hard part. Explaining to the human why the agent kept your branch over theirs is.

@piyushgarg_dev @vidystdotcom @Zoom Owning the media server is the only way webinar economics ever work. Zoom prices webinars by attendee count, but your real cost is egress. Curious what breaks first when you scale: the SFU fan-out or the relay bandwidth bill?

@latha_venkatesh @RBI @INRBONDS @ananthng Hiking by draining liquidity instead of moving the repo is still a hike. Every EMI-paying business will feel it before the next policy meeting.

@theo @poteto At $132M a year, the tokens aren't the expensive part. Having zero leverage when your one provider reprices is.

@jiahanjimliu @tejasybhakta Powered shells are the new beachfront property. The bottleneck was never GPUs, it's megawatts and permits. Anyone still pricing colo like it's 2022 is in for a nasty renewal letter. Who's actually adding grid capacity by 2027?

@RShivshankar 2.1 million followers, 33 votes. Followers don't stand in a queue at 7 AM. Voters do.

@Hi_Mrinal AI agents made 'good enough' code free. Caring is the only part of the job that's still scarce.

@svembu Restoring one lake does more for a town than ten smart-city slide decks. Is there a playbook others can copy for their own villages?

@elonmusk India tried democratic socialism for 40 years. We called it the Hindu rate of growth.

@CMODelhi @PMOIndia @narendramodi @HMOIndia @AmitShah So from 1 Nov a BS-IV car with a Gurugram plate is a pollution threat, but the same BS-IV car with a DL plate is fine. Particulates don't check RTO codes. If the target is emissions, ban the engine, not the number plate.

@sardesairajdeep Every party gets the same app for free. The difference is a karyakarta behind every booth group who knows each voter on his page by name. That's organisation, not WhatsApp. The others can download it tomorrow and still lose the booth.

@ParthaAwe A 2.5% discount won't bring FPIs back on its own. Rupee sliding, STT up, rules changed mid-game. Capital pays for predictability, not a rate cut.

[Nishant Gauraw @valuecm]

@vbomkara FPIs don't lose sleep over 12.5%. They lose it over paying tax on rupee 'gains' that are dollar losses. Fix the currency math first, the rate second.

@chrissyinspace For a bit more than that u can rent a whole dedicated server with 64 GB RAM and host 50 sites like this on it. Vercel charges u every month for convenience. On bare metal u set it up once.
