Dear “15-18 yo founder”s sending me DMs, don’t. Go and hug your parents, fall in love, eat chocolate cereal for breakfast, read poetry. Nobody will give you back these years. And sure, do your homework and learn math and code if that feels fun. But stop building SaaS and

Okay who the hell thought it was a good idea to remove the quick links from the left sidebar on GitHub? The amount of friction I'm facing to navigate between repos since the last two days is crazy!

It’s so hard to know if someone actually knows what they’re talking about or just riding a hype wave Anyway, here I go exploring wtf is a gtm engineer and how it differs from a “regular” engineer

Nothing against Cursor or Notion (both great companies) but the biggest thing that has happened in the last 5 years is broad "founder" inflation A pet project for 2 months doesn't have to be a startup, an open source project that you worked on for 3 weeks in between jobs doesn't

Real 😂

OpenAI Of all the things that aren't going to happen...this won't happen the most

room temp take: if you lock in when it's time to lock in and have fun when it's time to have fun, you'll get more done and have more fun than if you had tried to do both at the same time

Me: I want to have more friends Tech companies:

Man, Cursor Composer is underrated

I struggle to name a single 996 company that produces something worth paying attention to that is not a copy or rehash of a nicer product launched elsewhere Food for thought that you need not just hard work but inspiration + creativity to do standout work. Hard to do w no break

“When you feel better, your work is better.”

Ayush Agarwal Ayush, Have run a massive payments company Nium as CTO and know what I am talking about. You may find it surprising but DDoS readiness starts from: - Secure Architecture review - cloud and application design - Penetration Test - not just your application!! ( I know norm

May we have them, may we be them.

turns out, senior engineers accept more agent output than juniors. this is because: - they write higher-signal prompts with tighter spec and minimal ambiguity - they decompose work into agent-compatible units - they have stronger priors for correctness, making review faster and

this pattern is very important to understand people often self-create the very situation they are trying to avoid

just discovered my best friend has been vibe coding for the last 2 years i was horrified he’s been shipping full products with no specs, no diagrams, no architecture reviews, just “trying things until it feels right” i invited him over for an intervention we opened his

A few things I've noticed as all devs write code with AI. When you write foundational / architectural code of a new project by hand, you "feel" the code pushing back if your abstraction isn't right. You feel when something is harder than it should be. The code is telling you

A solid read for software engineers This post reinforces how I already use agents in practice: - Define the project foundation yourself instead of bootstrapping it via agent - Be strict about architecture since agents optimize for "working", not for clean design - Design →

My twitter 2025 wrapped Grok

I think the role of the Software Engineer is evolving into a Product Engineer. LLM tools have made writing code easier than ever. The real bottleneck isn't implementation anymore - it's deciding what to build and how the UX should work. That's why I've been spending more of my
