Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time Hand grenade pins in every line Throw 'em up and let something shine Going out of my f*cking mind

Crazy #SIH lore incoming from Point Blank. For now, I’ll just start with a picture. MOE's Innovation Cell- GOI AICTE

Will be giving a 3 hour tutorial on Compiler Tooling at 'Super Computing India 2025' conference by C-DAC India. This tutorial is a condensed version of the series by #LLVMBLR. You can check out the full, 10+ hour series here : lnkd.in/ge5d5TWd. #CDAC #HPC #Compilers #LLVM

There’s quite a few CS topics where reading a good book is the best way to learn. Henessey and Patterson for COA, OSTEP for OS, The Dragon book for Compilers, CLRS for DSA etc. Don’t know why reading went out of fashion. Reading a book is faster than any video/MOOC.

$5,000 prize pool. People keep asking “who can apply?” Anyone can. Not everyone gets in. Predefined problems. 100 selected builders. Akash Singh Ashutosh Pandey Final Round AI

Hosting the 39th LLVM Social Bangalore Meetup on 10th January (Saturday)! If you’re interested in knowing more about compilers, or simply want to meet, come say hi! RSVP: meetup.com/bangalore-comp…

I just won an internal Hackathon at my company by writing 2 shell scripts lol. In a hackathon, always optimize for impact over sophistication and technology.

Will be at Indiqube South Summit this Sunday for the Zenith Hackathon! Point Blank Final Round AI

There are Hackathons, and then there is #Zenith Well done, Point Blank!

Love the buzz that Claude has created around Compilers. I work on Compilers for a living. If you’re curious about the kind of SOTA research going on in Compilers, we organise a conference compilertech,all the talks from the 2025 edition are now on YT: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Thanks for the wishes :D But you can’t create a Sky Singh. You can only polish a diamond that was already there!

College communities were lacking so I built Point Blank Compiler/PL communities were lacking so I grew #LLVMSocial India didn’t have a world class systems conf so I built compilertech No Compiler hackathons here so I built #segfault Now building for another gap 👀

With the advent of GenAI, the 24-hour hackathon might soon become a thing of the past. Replaced by shorter “Hack-days”. I feel that this would be a net negative, so I blogged about it : blog.pointblank.club/the-24-hour-ha… #Hackathon #Hack #Build

Spent the weekend chilling at a Hackathon with friends, with lots of conversations over food and coffee. Followed by an after party that concluded with India winning the World Cup! Truly one of the best weekends of all time with my favourite people Point Blank <3

FP Launchpad is accepting applications for its inaugural cohort of Post-Baccalaureate Fellows. They are looking for 8 Fellows to join them at IIT Madras for a fully funded, two-year research fellowship. Find more details here: fplaunchpad.org/2026/03/06/app… CC : KC Sivaramakrishnan #IITM #FP

Thanks for this Akash Singh and Pratik {Coding_Geek} 🇮🇳! It’s truly amazing to see how far Point Blank has come! Onwards and upwards!

Hackathons are as useful to Software Engineering as Model United Nations (MUNs) are to preventing Global conflict and war. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do them, but you can’t live in the delusion that they make you a good engineer. Akash Singh can win hackathons at will lol.
