The "functional part" of backend dev is much easier, Agreed! However, the "non-functional part" that's where it gets much much complicated. The most important thing is the "non-functional part", would be Security! Scaling for 90% of the backend is simple, i.e just use better

If there's one thing which I'd want to completely get rid of first is fear. Get rid of fear of the future, and the past, to live in the moment. "Danger" can be in any form, physical, mental, or completely irrational. Stress is rooted in fear. Ego has its roots in fear. Mental

Even in life. There isn't enough time and resources to get everything you want. You must consciously choose your top 2/3 priorities, and focus on them. Trying to do everything leads you to finally doing nothing meaningful. Trying to fit in every place leads you to fitting in

Attaining this kinda mindset would solve so many problems in many people's lives (including mine) ;)

It is magical when we start looking at our life from a third person's view, things get so so much clearer! This can be applied in so so so many aspects of our life. Since from the perspective of a third person, there is only observation, no attachment, hence it gets rid of all

True If the speed of delivery of a better power infra couldn't match up with the market expectations, that is a very good signal of the AI bubble popping. Even if it takes time, with the existing progress we have made in AI, we still have years of progress ahead to build for

I rarely share wins, but I'm trying to change that. Here is one from November!

I have a 13 y o PC which still runs amazing thanks to Linux! This is also the computer I learnt coding from and got into tech (while also bricking it a couple of times in the process), so it also holds a little special place in my heart. It has served me well throughout my

Added this section in my website footer: leansoftware.dev (my software dev freelance business) Credits: Super for the original concept I also need to start with LLM SEO for my business!

Codex seems like the way to go for agentic software engineering now. It gives a glimpse of how new age IDEs will look like in post LLM world. I really like how they have kept it an agent first with essential IDE features only. Terminal, file diff, tagging files, git branches,

To those claiming AI is going to kill all the jobs/industries; I am sorry, but all of you are missing the point. The problem with these takes is that they just look at things from one angle/perspective, and limit their views to the current state of the world. Here are what the

Prediction markets are coming for it all!!!

The day capitalism figures out a way to make money by solving world problems (home, hunger/food, climate, health, etc), is the day those world problems would seize to exist!

The biggest signal of AI progress slowing down will be the power infrastructure. It would take years before the infrastructure is fit for use. Hopefully, it would also help in making the world go "electric everything".

LLMs should be treated like employees working in constraints. This way we use their non deterministic nature for creativity, while narrowing them down within real world constraints. This is where they shine!
