If you knew me personally then there is a high chance that I had already suggested you explore Reddit. There is a lot of valuable information being shared by people with first-hand experience. So I am creating a running thread where I share the content which I find useful.
Creator of Sqlite on pull requests: "You say, oh, it's free. No. It's not free. What you're doing is asking me ... to maintain it for you, to to document it for you, to test it for you, to maintain it for you for the next 25 years. That's not free." Yep.
Wise words from a wiser man than me. I've told people for the past decade and I have recent posts on here saying the same: the merge button is the easy part. Its the decade+ (Richard says 25 years) that follows where you've accepted the transfer of maintenance thats hard.
The trouble with @svembu's appeal to NRIs is that it continues to demand more sacrifices from Indians while demanding no change from India's governments. Resident Indians have more than enough talent in every domain but they are already choked. He makes no attempt to demand removal of existing bottlenecks. It's not TALENT that India is starved of, it is ACCOUNTABILITY.
Some reform ideas which I'd like to see implemented in India:
- (0) Improve nutrition and environmental safety. Safe air, water and food is the bare minimum expectation.
- (1) Encourage skin-in-the-game for political and administrative leaders (for eg: require an exit tax for them and their kids).
- (2) Radical transparency in govt systems. Anonymized files should be digital and public by default, unless marked confidential for valid reasons.
- (3) Increase actual Ease of Doing Business (eg: improve contract enforcement).
- (4) Discourage young talented people from wasting away their most precious years into civil services exam prep, or pseudo-scientific professions like degrees in AYUSH.
- (5) Do not allow the world to dump inferior hardware and software products on Indians. Insist on interoperability, technology transfer and repairability by third-parties.
- (6) Prepare the workforce for the future: For eg: Decrease the number of specializations by bundling subjects in Engg, achieving a better balance of employability and national interest.
- (7) Reduce the need for affirmative action in later years by improving access in earlier years.
- (8) Create conditions for healthy competition among states so that we can have more experiments in governance.
Won 3rd place at the AI Agent Glow Up Hackathon! We built a map-based travel planner where the AI agent goes beyond the linear vertical chat interface. Instead, it’s interactive, helping you visualize your travel right on the map.
Gonna keep refining this further. Thankful for the judges for recognizing the vision!

You’re not tanking interviews because you’re unqualified.
You’re tanking them because no one taught you how to talk like someone worth hiring.
Here’s how to stop getting ghosted after “I think that went okay.”
New blog post published! Learn about the new KEDA plugin for Headlamp, which makes it easy to inspect, edit, and monitor event-driven autoscaling in Kubernetes in a visual way:

@frido_official@ganeshsonawane@frido_official I was told that a replacement part is shipped and the team will coordinate with a local technician to get it fixed. Just received the package and it contains 2 frido insoles 🤷���️
Hey @ganeshsonawane, I recently got the Frido Aero Mesh Chair from @frido_official and reached out to support about some issues. I understand there was a sale and the team might be swamped, but as a customer, it’s disappointing to be left hanging. Can you ask them to follow up?
