Whenever I interview candidates, I prefer it to be a discussion rather than an investigation. The more a candidate engages in the conversation—sharing their views and even asking clarifying questions—the better the interview. At the end, I ask, "Do you have any questions for… https://t.co/trGdfWVFmW

I use Typefully to post on social media and love storing what I've posted, as I use social media as a commonplace for notes.

The simplest way to capture podcast insights: https://t.co/UYxMO0hmlU When you hear something worth saving, take a screenshot of the podcast player. Send an email. You get the transcript. No login. No subscription. Seems interesting.

> Successful investing requires thoughtful attention to many separate aspects, all at the same time. This is the key lesson from this book. Most of what the author says is applicable to building a fulfilling career and a satisfying life too. Go read it: https://t.co/kh9UdBorwa https://t.co/om36pptZUs

People who are active on social media platforms don't vote. Plus election is not about just popularity. It is about getting enough votes to get elected. Most don't understand the difference. BJP under Modi knows this extremely well. https://t.co/eXi2VSAGfa

Clients are now talking to ChatGPT and estimating how long it will take to develop an app. Obviously our estimates are much higher and they say chatgpt told me this can be done for far less. Earlier we all used to Google our symptoms and tell doctors to prescribe a certain… https://t.co/yXDXLglypA

Mohali has so many malls and new ones are opening too. And all of them are filled all the time. Only window shoppers or actual shoppers too?

The arrow of tech only moves forward. In 2022, I asked an image-generation model to create a photo of an Indian family walking down a street. The result wasn't good. It looked grotesque. When I used the same prompt this year, the image was shockingly realistic, featuring… https://t.co/oYS1YgyyTU

One lesson I've learned in value investing, which I've applied to life: Think and act independently. Gather insights from everywhere. Study what others are doing. If they're doing the right thing, follow suit. If not, do what's right. This advice applies even to your heroes. https://t.co/rv6Bqq5rqd

Knowing what I know at 53, I would do differently. I will invest the same EMI in stock markets (mostly high yield MFs but also individual stocks that give dividends). Hopefully in 10 years, I have built enough corpus and by 35-37, I will know where to settle down. I will buy a… https://t.co/qEhAmpwByr

I can't believe @svembu still codes & ships. Respect. I talk to 6-7 year experienced coders who say, "we don't code; only manage". And then we wonder how did we end up with so much of unproductive middle management. https://t.co/JPkSRB078f

Testing out Lunacy app: https://t.co/1rvhKvI9lw It is a MacApp that retains all keyboard shortcuts of Sketch App. I was also able to export existing images as svg and import into lunacy. Good thinking to capture existing sketch market. Going to test this out more.

AI coding tools have become infrastructure. Like AWS. Like GitHub. Like your IDE. Your team generating 30% code using cursor isn't your leverage anymore. Then what is? Interesting article from: https://t.co/qfgMMbEWcs https://t.co/mgkymIiMaE

8 km with a cadence of 161. Starting the week by achieving a strong fitness goal. Since the swimming pool in our town is closed for winter, I started jogging.

When I went to college, my mom expected me to write daily. Sometimes, I'd write "I'm good, Amma. How are you?" on 20-30 postcards, leave them on the table before heading to college, and tell her to read one each day. Time passed. I got a job, married, and had kids. My parents… https://t.co/0GY4qa08p8

We expect more from the Indian diaspora than from Indian elites themselves. @ShashiTharoor recently wrote that Indian immigrants in the US should “speak up for India,” especially as Trump turns protectionist.

Even before this, billings by consulting companies bordered on cheating. They would bill three clients simultaneously. GenAI has simply provided senior consultants with yet another tactic to cheat further. https://t.co/WUMWlzVdBU
