Slowly rebuilding my website using 11ty. It is a pleasure to work with. Windsurf IDE helps me most. When it fails, 11ty discord community support is awesome. Now site fetches stats from Plausible and adds both popular and trending posts. Doesn't it look cool? https://t.co/YDckpg4724

Rather paradoxical tip for career building: • early in your career say yes to everything • late in career say no more But we flip this Early on we don’t feel confident so we say no more (self-reject) Later we think we have ability and we say yes often

Looks like RTFM is even more valid in the GenAI coding days.

My question: what is the difference between llama3.2 and llama3.2 instruct I asked two LLMs: locally running llama3.2B instruct. Answers are so varied. Tell me which one is closer to relying for learning? https://t.co/79b80zu2rt

My week notes for the 52nd week Sister & family drove all the way from Bangalore. Looks like Indian infra (roads, cars, other ecosystem) is allowing many people to take such long trips. Trying my hands on using LLMs to improve my blog. You will see more posts in the future. https://t.co/bmV0GylOA8

We can compare talent migration from other countries if the reasons are similar (if not same). Did talent from Korea/Taiwan/Japan migrate because of babu raj, tough-doing-business, corruption? If so the argument is valid. Otherwise ... x.com/svembu/status/…

Burn the house to catch the mouse. No attempt to curb bribe (arrest all those IAS officers who amassed wealth -> will lead to leaking info about politicians ....). But constrain everyone else with all these stupid actions. x.com/harsh8848/stat…

Remember: It's not just about money. Freedom, family time, and working on your terms are the real rewards. It is a life-style business: a business that supports the life that you want. Read my short guide here: jjude.com/employee-to-co… 6/6

Want to attract work? Focus on these three pillars: 1. Create content (blogs, talks, even books!) 2. Build a tight network (15-50 key people) 3. Develop social proof (testimonials > degrees) 5/6

Working solo doesn't mean working more. I only work 3 days a week, earning through: • Primary consulting • Coaching programs • Due diligence for VCs • Speaking engagements 4/6

The key? Mindset shifts: • Abundance mentality - your income isn't fixed anymore • Reality is negotiable - know what you want • See clients as peers, not superiors 3/6

First, believe it's possible. When I started, there were no role models in Indian IT consulting. Everyone said it wouldn't work. But I persisted, took calculated risks, and proved them wrong. 2/6

Want to transition from employee to successful solopreneur? Here's what I learned from my journey of becoming a solo consultant in India 🧵 1/6

As long they attack the other it is good When they attack me, oh my god, how can they do this? History repeats all the time. Just that idiots don't learn. x.com/Cloudwatch199/…

Compare these with what cursor IDE wrote. Usable directly. I think for a foreseeable future I will stick to cursor / windsurf. https://t.co/nRnCOrbPbJ

Next tried gpt4all + llama 3.2 1B instruct model. This was better. At least it picked content from the blog post. But it wasn't impressive. https://t.co/e7jYzpdUzt

Next tried msty with tinylama It goes to tell me how to repurpose into an instagram story while I didn't talk anything about instagram at all. Even when I tried nudging it back, it didn't. Kept talking about instagram https://t.co/S2VI9lD6jo

Here is msty with Gemma model I attached the markdown file; asked it to create a twitter thread out of it. I think it just read the word "obituary" and went rambling ... https://t.co/hIZbbhlmyA

Wanted to test running local llm models for fine-tuning my blog for SEO and writing twitter threads. Tried both buff.ly/3RUhNta & msty.app Both were disappointing 👇

RT @malpani: IAS officers and politicians are called public servants because they treat the public as their servants ! https://t.co/unQdP6U…

Microsoft does what it does best. It is offering GitHub copilot for free now that cursor and windsurf are rising in popularity among devs. Same tactic they used to gain market share from PowerBuilder

The irony of life is the thing you chase elude you but when you stop chasing you get it; in fact more of it. True for • happiness • money • love • fame Why is that?
