i've been working on context engineering and building systems for agents to get relevant context when required. but this blog takes it a step further if you're someone working with agents, you should read this!

After a month-long hiatus, we're back for the Writers' Room, and this time, we're coming to a new location! 🤩 Got your notebooks and laptops ready, and join us for the first time in Bellandur🔥 📆 Nov 15th 📍 Bellandur, BLR 🔗 Sign up now: https://t.co/YLgvubyFk5

took me a week to figure this out

you can achieve peak productivity in 90 minute focus slots. your body goes through 90-minute energy cycles during the day called the ultradian rhythms, where your focus peaks and dips. you should sync work sessions with these cycles by setting a 90 minute timer. start with some

psa: stop going to meetups and networking events without intent. it may feel like you're making relations but tbh you're just wasting your time and energy in collecting self-doubt and overwhelm. you won't make meaningful connections by chasing them, but by becoming someone

Had too! @viveknigam_

If I had to pick just one thing from Atomic Habits by @JamesClear, it would be the idea of habit stacking. it says that you should stack a new habit before or after an existing one. this connection makes it easier to plan and execute this habit. > if you want to build a night

do yourself a favour - create a "brag list" keep a running list of things you're proud of. be it big or small. anything which makes you wanna pat your back. not just career related but life in general. this list will do it's magic when you're sad, dealing with self-doubt, or

*stakeholder value

it's been 1 year already! full of learning and exposure to building software for millions of developers - top highlight was building and scaling copilot like code-autocomplete. - now working on context engineering for postman's agent mode back to increasing shareholder value

unpopular opinion: amount of exposure > years of experience that's why we see some 19 year olds building million $$$ startups but some 29 year olds still dreaming of starting something someday. exposure means the variety of problems you've faced, situations you've dealt with,

one of the most underrated mental model is the 80:20 rule aka Pareto Principle 80% percent of the results are driven from 20% of the effort but i've realized that this principle becomes a solid framework for decision making under constraints. - buy things for your 80% use

your calendar can organize the chaos in your life, but only if you use it correctly. most people i've talked to are either overwhelmed with their calendar or feel it's too complicated to manage one. i suggest you to start with one simple thing - color coding your events. - red

i was frustrated when i switched branches and ran npm start, only to find out that i either have missing or outdated packages, after the build completed. so i wrote this small utility which runs on every git pull and git checkout to detects package changes. super helpful! 💯

bad podcasts need 2x speed. good podcasts need 1x speed. great podcasts need 2x listens.

depends on the seniority of the engineering
