Thank you @orenellenbogen for including my podcast interview in this week's SWLW newsletter: Read the transcript: Watch the video:

If you haven't read @nikunj 's writing, give it a go: Ideas pop out when each article reads smoothly. Started with but read other essays too.

You cannot think with ideas that are not in your head Powerful. Thank you @jreighley

You have heard of “revised charges” from banks & SAAS apps. Have you gotten “revised customer delight services” from anyone?

UnoCSS seems to be a nice balance between tachyons css and tailwind css

Exactly the same can be said about India. There are states that make money. They are not the states that are given that money from union govt (TN as an example). So when the right-wing folks say India is growing thank those 3-4 well governed states.

Cloudflare is facing network issue in India. Indian sites with @Cloudflare cdn will face issues (my site with CF CDN doesn't display images) Looks like sites proxying with CF are also not accessible (not all; one of my site is accessible; other is not)

While our glorified babus build thick walls of idiotic rules, we wonder why India can't build world class digital products and OSes.

Finally I hope the hype is dying. People are waking up to software engineering

MCP is an existential threat within 12 months to every B2B company. Model Context Protocol and similar technologies threaten to commoditize the data advantages that platform companies have built over decades.

We read code more than write. ⇒ we shud be able to reason what we read. As I use cursor more and more I realise I lose the ability to reason the generated code. It works but it has lot of unneeded code or complex code. Have you come across that?

Is @tachyons_css website () down?

We cooperate to compete (in sports, business, war) We compete to cooperate (biz compete but cooperate to improve economy)

We have gone from "quality is value" to "volume is value" And that shows where we are going And what you should do if you want to stand out.

Arrest the goons. Not the nuns

My frustrating experience with @claudeai , @v0, & @lovable_dev in designing a UI for a hypothetical bookmark manager. Note that I'm not a designer. I am a developer and wanted help with designing UI for this app.

How many more has to die before an action taken to eliminate stray dogs? Kids, elders, rich, poor ... Looks like only when a politician or a judge falls victim there will be action Bengaluru Man, 70, Out For Walk, Mauled To Death By Stray Dogs:

does this mean @Pinboard will have to move to another domain? Now it lives in

Did you notice marketplace fee in Amazon now?

Most kids are told how to learn. My homeschooled kids get to explore why and what they want to learn. That freedom means they’re not stuck in a rigid system. They’re free to try, fail, reflect, and evolve. And that includes how they use new GPT tools. 1/7

So basically Indian journalists are uneducated! And they just parrot what the govt wants them to say. As many pointed out, this was in school syllabus, it is a UNESCO world heritage site ...still our journalists think it got the spotlight only today.

My notes from @jposhaughnessy interviewing @dollarsanddata About "Climbing the Wealth Ladder" (These are not verbatim; my interpretation of the discussion as I listened & notes taken with @typefully) It's a long thread of notes

We love to eat at Social restaurant in Chandigarh. We like their settings, food, ambiance, the whole experience. They changed. You scan & order from WhatsApp even within the restaurant. What shud take few min takes couple of clicks and more than 5 min and confusing. 😳🤦

Apple is not a sprint runner but marathon winner They've been consistently able to maintain their lead in laptop, mobiles, accessories ... Yes, their AI (siri or genAI) is not so good; Do you think they will eventually get it like iCloud?

Tried @buffer AI assistance to rewrite a tweet. Not so good. It rewrites series of lines into a long para 🤦

In fact BJP don't want "educated" crowd, because they will think and question. They want uneducated thugs who will do what they want them to do.

If you look for next book to read may be you can refer to this books recommended by celebrities and experts

Uploaded a screenshot to both v0 & Claude and asked to design in preact, tailwind, daisyUI Both did a good job but Claude did it much better.

Was speaking to an entrepreneur in Indian Ed tech. He had been in this for past 20 years. He talked abt so many problems that can be solved with tech. Talking to him I realised the importance of domain experience. Without it one can’t know what problems are worth solving.

We (Indians) approach science as a body of knowledge to get a degree not a way of thinking. Until that continues India won’t become a developed nation (economy will grow coz of population)

Today I was talking to an entrepreneur in coaching industry (in India of course) He said: nobody is going to school to learn, only to get a degree. ⇒ everyone is looking for a shortcut to this end. Guidebooks, coaching classes … thrive coz of that.

If you generate preact code with Claude it will use “class name” instead of class (coming from react). You have to prompt it to specifically use class.

I am going to close @AxisBank account soon. Because they started spam calling minor account holders to sell investments. I will let you know if it goes easy or hard.

Why I love @X I hope @elonmusk keeps it that way Where else you will find a response "I wrote this" from the creator for the question, "Are you this old" Thank you @davepl1968 for keeping all of us entertained in "those" days

Why I started homeschooling my boys : As years goes on, I am more than convinced I made a right choice

Local city officials will award him. PM will head the function. Everyone will go about their lives. Citizens also don’t have shame for not keeping the local and union govt (chd comes under union govt) accountable

Biggest challenge for CXO: how can you carry along the team along the path of change And most often CXOs are not trained for that

If you look at science as a body of knowledge you will memorise. You might even apply it. But if you look at it as a way of thinking, you will start questioning. That’s a different way of life. It might get you into trouble too. This is not taught in schools.

We used to hear consider "quality" sources for your information. In the AI era, what is a quality source of info if all underlying LLMs are trained on the same corpus?

Every year, I would aspire to get 30k views for my blog. And would fail. Looks like 2025 might be the year I get that 30k pageviews.

I will never trust "vibe coding" again

Looks like the US is not that different from India, in terms of media freedom.

Who says "vibe" coding isn't fun. Like everything else in corporate life, it is fun for those who don't have to use it.

there’s a vocal minority who think we’re heading to heaven on an escalator. (Usually, these people are trying to sell you the escalator.)

The beauty ain’t in the necklace. It’s in the neck. Maybe that’s my problem with AI-generated prose: it’s all necklace, no neck. - @a_m_mastroianni
