In battle, in the forest, at the precipice in the mountains, On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows, In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame, The good deeds a man has done before defend him. #Śatakatraya

The Indigo mess has exposed something ugly — not just in the system, but in us. 1. We are brave only at home. If this crisis had unfolded at Heathrow or JFK, every stranded Indian would have quietly queued up, swallowed the pain, and behaved. But here, we suddenly discover

@FltLtAnoopVerma These jets have 100,000+ of flying hours across multiple airforces with decades of operational history & production numbers in 1000s. To compare your fighter designed in the 80s first flown in early 2000s and still hasn’t been operational is shameful even for a flt Lt level.

Expensive real estate destroys demographics. Any society that traps its young people in debt, because of expensive education or expensive housing or expensive health care (or all of the above in many cases) is a society that is destroying its own demographic future. If you love

This really shows once more that Trump really doesn't get China, which should really worry you if you're American. The officials in question weren't "scared", they were serious and disciplined, which is a pretty meaningful difference. There's a huge difference in culture when

Baron Capital Supports Elon Musk’s 2025 CEO Performance Award Baron Capital is in support of the proposed 2025 CEO Performance Award. We believe it reflects the same principles of accountability, performance and alignment with shareholder interests that drove Tesla’s past

—6— tbh, the admiration for small, skilled teams crafting classics like Quake with minimal oversight is refreshing. Makes you question the bloat in some orgs.

---5--- Lex and DHH touched on something that doesn't get enough airtime: innovation often comes from tiny, manager-less teams. Reminds you of the garage startup mythos, but it's legit.

---4--- but here's a curveball - programming isn't just about coding in solitude. DHH admits the need for occasional managerial roles, kind of like a "manager service." imagine dialing up some management for a week then ghosting for a month.

---3--- honestly, the bit where DHH talks about trying out the whole manager thing and then ditching it because it just didn't fit, hit hard. sometimes you gotta try the norm to realize it's not for you.

---2--- DHH threw down some real talk about managers being more of a burden than a benefit in many tech scenarios. kinda makes you wonder about traditional structures, doesn't it?

Another segment from Lex’s podcast with DHH. The back and forth on the relevance of managers in tech had me hooked. Thread:

---8--- the potential shift to less programming and more prompt engineering with AI? kinda freaky but fascinating to see if that turns out.

---7--- another thing, DHH's take on vibe coding producing "empty calories" learning was a gut check. reminds you that there's no shortcut to getting good.

---6--- tbh, the bit about vibe coding vs. traditional coding had me thinking. like, are we moving towards more of an editing skill set in programming?

---5--- also, the whole spiel on programming languages and how COBOL is still kicking around? makes you wonder what's really "legacy" tech and what sticks around.

---4--- ngl, Moore's law keeping up its pace while Flash kinda petered out shows just how unpredictable tech advancements can be. keeps you on your toes.

---3--- and then there's the comparison to The Lawnmower Man and the unrealized dreams of VR. kinda puts the brakes on thinking all tech predictions are a straight shot.

---2--- honestly, the point about DeepSeek being this kinda human-like thinking silicon blew my mind. made me ponder the fine line between AI and human intelligence.

---1--- just got through the FutureOfProgramming_2 ep on the Lex Fridman podcast. some intriguing convos on AI and coding's future. some thoughts:

So, mitochondria are basically the powerhouses that got us from simple to complex life. Honestly, hearing Lane describe it as winning the evolutionary lottery with mitochondria is the kind of science talk I live for.
