a trip to dubai completely altered the course of my life.

february last year i quit the job i really wanted. design lead at a category defining fintech. decent pay, work life balance, mentors, the whole thing.

three things, in sequence, broke it.

one. made a trip to dubai with the gang and came back with a massive reality hit. as shallow as the place might seem, it showed me how small i was playing, just because small felt safe.

two. every night i'd come home to a living room where darshil and shreyans were visioning how marketers would work in the next 10 years and harish was fafoing with consumer ai. i'd look forward to going home just to talk about how mcp was gonna change the world, deepseek coming out of nowhere, agents starting to actually work.

three. one random weekend harish, samesh and i entered a consumer ai hackathon by peak xv. and we won $5,000!! f-ing crazyy. we built a personal trainer that could correct your posture in real time while you worked out, count your reps, all of it. that night each of us, were up doing 300+ pushups and squats to test it. craziest 36 hours of my life.

that was the one that did it.

the monday after, i quit. no plan, no domain, no idea if i'd build an ai companion or a soyabean farm.

read this somewhere “leap, and the net will appear"

What makes @Linkrunner_io better than @AppsFlyer?

Shreyans Sancheti, Co-Founder of Linkrunner, says 3 things:

1. Faster integration
2. Better customer support
3. Pricing: ₹1 vs ₹6.5 per install

"The fix wasn't a better JOIN. The fix was no JOIN."

Two Saturdays ago I gave my first tech talk at ClickHouse Bangalore.

The person who built the database we were presenting about was in the audience.

No pressure. :)

@vatsal_sanghvi @gabriel_mlx You know our office sir, drop by anytime 😂

Happy to walk you through our solution!

[Darshil Rathod @yesdarshil]

@vatsal_sanghvi @gabriel_mlx We have built a complete web to app solution for running iOS ads without SKAN (ATT), helps attribute just like android ads and adds support for deferred deep linking as well.

For apps under 5M-10M installs it works better than SKAN campaigns- https://t.co/TC2Lo2LbB5

If you flew to Delhi for the AI summit and are disappointed with the management… good.

Because now you have 3 winter days in one of the most culturally rich cities in the world!

Here’s everything you can do in Delhi instead, if you’re planning to skip the summit.

I wonder how hard could it be when you have such good LLMs to assist :)

[Barun @barundebnath]

Founder: “Let’s do some tech improvements.”
30 minutes later: “What if we build our own streaming engine and DBs?”
Us: quietly downgrading that to a backlog item.
