One rain is all it takes for @Airtel_Presence to fail its fiber connectivity. Ironically I am tweeting this from a Vodafone mobile connection. We can’t get basic stuff right. And we keep talking about so many high funda stuff.

I don't know if @maxpashman has a kid born on Feb 29th. For the other boy, we celebrate 1 day every year. For the boy born on 29th, we have to celebrate big every 4 years. That means "very" expensive. + other years, have to celebrate both on 28th & 1st. Rational # Reality
> Change requires doing hard things. But, who would do it This is applicable across many different aspects of India. Instead of doing hard things we are happy with drama and entertainment.
How to debug @deno_land queue?
What life lesson would you want to pass to your kids? @keepkwizing shares a quote from Gandhi - My life is my message. Simple yet powerful. The life you live as a parent is the message your kids will inherit despite whatever you speak or teach. KK & I have been discussing…

If we don't know what an ideal job is, how will we ever land on it? Ideal job has these: 1. Stimulating work 2. Supportive boss 3. Co-operative team 4. Appreciative Clients 5. Flexible Hours 6. Appropriate Pay Do you agree? Listen here for more:
If you don't blow your trumpet, don't expect music. People don't want to know about you or what you have. But they want to know what you do. So talk about what you do. Do you agree? If you want to know more, listen here:
The age of "one person company" is here "The ability individuals have right now to deliberately design their lives and realities is greater than at any time in history."
Micromanaging vs Commander’s Intent Here is a post by my elder one (Josh), about this concept as he learns from Personal MBA Please read & comment:
“a nation with a low birth rate shall be periodically chastened by some more virile and fertile group.” From: "The Lessons of History" by Will Durant. We are seeing this playing out in India (south vs north) We don’t learn from history and we pay the price.
Let us talk about luck Luck is just the flip-side of risk. If you accept that hypothesis, then we can classify luck and deal with it as we deal with risk. Don't you agree? In this podcast episode, I talk about 4 types of luck:
This is kind of people I wish to meet on Twitter and know their experience. This is what makes a network worthy and social. Thank you @nvvarsha for sharing your daughter’s story. She is awesome.
How do you balance ambition and contentment?
What are the sources of anxiety? @keepkwizing and I discussed about sources of anxiety (as Dads). Two sources of anxiety: • When we compare ourselves with others • When we feel helpless Do you agree? Episode coming up on Tuesday. Don't forget to subscribe:…
Today I am a CTO and I owe my job to learning to type. Don't despise humble beginnings. Don't compare your first page with someone else's 600th page. Start small, but start. Interesting? Listen here:
Pity that even productivity apps like @todoist increase friction. Todoist emails used to list out the tasks for the day. At a glance, I would know the tasks for the day. Now you've to open the app to know the tasks. First I started ignoring these emails. Now slowly moving out
We like to work with people we like. When we are likable, we attract opportunities. This likability factor is what I call Gravitas. There are 4 factors to gravitas: • Wealth • Insights • Network • Self-control Interested? Listen
Listened to @robertwrighter & @EconTalker on the on-going Israel conflict. My Notes: • Even those on opposite end of the spectrum can sit down and talk in civil manner without shouting at each other • Unless we talk to the other side, we'll not understand their point of view;…
Just today, during a morning walk, saw a well dressed educated gentleman pieing on the sidewalk while talking on his phone. As more things change, more things remain the same.

Clean code is a sign of too much free time. At any time, working code is always messy. Same is true for your note taking system. If you are a busy working professional, it is going to be messy. Probably notes distributed in multiple apps too. Get used to it. #pkm
Organisations die by suicide not by murder.
Looks like @Zoom doesn't allow login via @Apple id. There doesn't seem to be a resolution. Look here: Who will help us? @zoom or @AppleSupport
From “Good Strategy, Bad Strategy” Lot to think about how to identify what really matters in a tech change. Seems so relevant with all hype abt GenAI.
Question for product people (PMs & CEOs): Do you use your product much like @elonmusk using Twitter? In the early days of iPhone Steve Jobs used not apps that came up on App Store. SJ had a pulse on how the product ecosystem was emerging. I feel the same with Elon.
As I crossed 50, I keep thinking about how to build wealth to pass on to next generation. Many questions came up while discussing this topic in our group. • Why give money to kids? They should earn it themselves • Education is the best gift, not money I'm excited to discuss…
I listen to YouTube videos & take notes. Often, I don't know if a video is insightful until I have listened to it. Time-waste. Can I use GenAI to summarize a video & listen if summary is interesting? Tried few videos. It works. Going to build for self. #buildinpublic
> Random human interaction will move more and more in the background, and it is not a good thing Next gen wouldn’t know how to hold a conversation (as we lost the art of writing letters)
> A million little conversations never happen This is across our day. At dinning table with kids, colleagues, waiting in line … We are losing million little chances to be social as we are created to be. We choose otherwise and we reap the consequences.
🎙️ What is the importance of family culture and how to build it? 🎙️ Excited to release another episode on "Being a dad" with @keepkwizing 🏡👨👩👧👦 In this episode, we dive into values, stories, and communication that shape a strong family culture. 💪🌱 Listen here:…

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly I think about this as there is mad rush to build personal brand.
I was thinking of opening an account with Zerodha. Looks like they still have technical glitches. Wondering if it is safe to use Zerodha (if only for MF and long term stocks)
Great way to start a book. Captures your attention immediately. From “Good strategy, Bad strategy” book
When you talk to an expert you get metaphors that brightens your mind. Asked @rishabh_grg to explain "Programmatic SEO". "It is creating category of 1 for webpages with long-tail keywords" Got it. Thank you. Why I prefer to talk to practitioners.
I come across these stories all the time. Domain experts want to develop an app. They have no tech knowledge. They write a scope and shop around. They select set of agencies / freelancers to code their MVP. They choose the cheapest as they dont hv any other factors to decide.…
When the little guys watch out for each other they can defeat the big and fast of the forest. As @madversity says, it is nothing to do with Indian politics.
Not all tasks are same. Once you realise there is a hierarchy, you can automate most of the low level tasks so you can be creative with the tasks that only you can do. I write more here: #productivity
So true. I have learned this in a hard manner. You have to "become" the person who is productive. No amount of techniques and tools will help you if you don't "become"
> write true things that happen to be polarizing, and don't take the shortcut of aiming for polarizing regardless of truth. Wish more people read and follow this.
Trying out @huggingface models along with @deno_land for some genAI tasks. Always a joy to get into coding and try out something new. Here I explained why I am learning #deno:
If you want to improve your investment decision making, keep a journal of your buys, sells, and pass. Refer them back often to learn. That’s one of the ways I improved my investment competence.
The more tasks you can turn into low-level activities, the more time you’ll have for creative work. Low-level tasks aren’t important; they are. But streamlining them frees up your cognitive power for creativity. I write more in today's commonlog:
Hey @SejalSud : Are you aware all the twitter spaces you hosted are here: If any of your followers missed any of the episodes, they can go and listen to these amazing interviews & spaces.
A disease that most new entrepreneurs catch is: trying to solve everything at once. As my guest, Samson says, better to solve one properly and scale from there. Good lesson for me as I edit this 100th episode.
