The skills you need in the age of AI

How I use GenAI tools as a CTO?

Pointer coming to #golang? I thought golang is golang because devs don't have to bother abt points and garbage collection: I might as well learn #rust then.

Kids are starting to use agentic code editors like @cursor_ai My younger son (13 yrs) posted a video about using cursor to make a website with it. Youtube is recommending the video. 82% of the traffic is via YT recommendation. Watch it here:

Opportunities are a constant flowing river. If you are prepared you can spit and pick up a cup or a bucket. If you are not, it keeps flowing. Just that you are a bystander watching others pick up and flourish.

My 2nd son is live-streaming him making an app to convert mp4 to mp3: He is really getting the grip of both live streaming and using @cursor_ai to develop apps. Join in now.

Learning how to think is the best intellectual asset you can build for yourself. One such structured thinking framework is SODAS — situation, options, disadvantages, advantages, and solution. I have used it to many situations and I find it useful:

Another day. Another corruption unearthed. What will be done? Will media chase this until guilty punished? It will be forgotten in a day and moved to the next news. No one media house stands with a spine to stand for the people.

Your greatest opportunity for growth are in "approximately correct" zones. Answers to most questions in life are approximations. If being approximately correct is so useful, can we train ourselves to think in approximations? Here is what works for me:

A markdown-like journal language for timelines or anything that happens over time: And #obsidian plugin:

Looks like X is becoming a right-wing platform & bluesky a left-wing platform

Last week, I gave subscription for to Jerry. He built a landing page and published a video. Today he is taking the game a notch up. He is livestreaming building an app. Watch it here:

If you think independently, you will end up pissing off both wings of mobs

How is Bluesky different from Mastodon (or other social networks): EFF covers diff in protocol, privacy, user experience and many more. If you interested in developing apps for these platforms, read this

There was a time when we built things because it was fun. Not because we can make money. Money was secondary. Now everything is tuned to make money. More money. We need to do things because it is fun.

Proud #homeschooling dad My 12yo used Cursor to build his personal website. He made a video about it. Proud, but also mildly concerned he'll be asking for VC funding next week. 😳 His video: His site: Pass on your feedback.

I enjoy listening to David Pawson’s teaching on Biblical books. For the past few days been enjoying his teaching on the book of Revelation:

Homeschooling still needs constant attention to what kids do. Our default nature is to be lazy or drift away from our set goals. Since kids don’t have responsibilities it is more pronounced in them to drift. You need to nudge them constantly to keep in the right direction.

Pessimist sees a dark tunnel Optimist sees light at the end of the tunnel Realist sees a train The train driver sees three idiots on the tracks 😜

I tried windsurf and went back to cursor. May be familiarity, but I operated both in similar fashion. Cursor gave me reliable answers. Windsurf didn't

I am encouraging all my dev friends to use Most senior devs are like: can do exactly what I am asking to do in one iteration. If not they think it is a waste of time. Junior: they don’t mind experimenting. They see it as an improvement. Seniors have…

Bought this: "Beginner JavaScript" by @wesbos for my son. He is learning Javascript as part of his #homeschooling : I learnt advanced JS from Wes. Now my son. Thanks Wes. You are a super teacher.

It is interesting that liberals wanted to move away from conservative values (religion esp) and then act surprised when society doesn't represent the values they grew up with.

Both my sons (15&13 yrs) have started using Their usage styles are so starkly different. Younger one uses it as a utility - he has an outcome in mind. If he gets it he moves on. If not he iterates. Elder one wants to understand every line generated.…

AWS seems expensive than Hetzner or DO What they sell is certainty and ability to contact their support team any time. Companies expect certainty. And nobody got fired for buying AWS

Getting audio recording working from browsers across desktop, mobile, and different devices is a pain. There are no easy way to do it.

If Indians are not careful, this will happen in India too. With too much taxes, qcommerce, it is way too difficult to be a "mom & pop" shop in India.

Engineering guidebook from Cancer Research UK. I love this document.

I asked Grok - "Please draw me based on my tweets" and it draws "a very cool x user"

No. Citizens who supported this govt repeatedly and voted for this govt again and again in state and union elections should be given an award. Oh wait...this is that award. If these don't wake up even now, there are much more bigger awards coming in ...

This is all fine. But fingers should point to workers too. They are happy to jump over others and compromise rights if there will be promotions, onsite opportunities, and higher salaries. That is what these business folks tap onto

When we label people (right wing, left wing, Mexican, low-caste), we fail to understand people. What we label is only one dimension of people. Get to understand them by talking to them. All of us have fears, desires, hopes, and dreams. Don’t reduce people to genres.

Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made. - Oscar Wilde
