I hope Tim Cooks this year.

Posting on BlueSky always feels like shouting at a wall. It feels kinda strange. Probably, I need to take a break from this platform and come back later.

It’s been one of those hectic days we all go through. Luckily, the last meeting got postponed to next week, a small silver lining. 🫩

Good evening to you all.

This made me chuckle.

Good morning/afternoon, ladies and gents.

Work is hectic, but luckily there’s only one meeting. So that’s good. I can work all day if there are no meetings.

Wishing you all a great day ahead.

If you're not interested in your craft, you'll struggle to get a better software engineer.

Getting passionate isn't a gift, but a choice.

Pick a path, and get into it. Skills don't just come from a desire.

This is incredible.

It happened to me on Sunday. I switched to a new phone. My whatsapp backup takes place every Saturday. I bought the phone on Sunday. So the two day message backups were deleted.

GPT-5

Grok-4

Gemini-2.5 Flash.

No matter what, all the best LLMs out there still can’t generate accurate watch faces that aren’t set to 10:10. And there’s a reason for that: most of the public images these models are trained on show this time.

Here are the results from GPT-5, Grok-4, and Gemini-2.5 Flash.

It's been a busy day so far. I hope you guys are having a better day than me.

Your career is like a codebase.
Refactor often.
Remove dead weight.
Ship small improvements.
It compounds.

One of the best tech YouTubers out there. His videos feel like movies, with storytelling, cinematography, and color grading that’s always on point. Hats off.

Good day to you, ladies and gentlemen.

Just like that, the long weekend got over. While today should be a relaxed day, it will be a busier week. I am so ready for it.

Wishing you all a great week.

Good morning.

I’ve reached an age where seeing others happy makes me feel even happier than just being happy myself.

Vizhinjam Port, officially known as Vizhinjam International Transhipment Deepwater Multipurpose Seaport, is a major infrastructure project located near Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. It's designed to be a key transshipment hub, handling containers, multi-purpose cargo, and break bulk cargo.

Good morning, ladies and gents!

Yesterday, I went on an outing to celebrate one of my colleagues who was getting married. We had food and went to see the Vizhinjam Port. It was a nice little trip.

Hopefully, you guys have a great Saturday.

every. damn. time. 😔

It always rains when I want to go to my home early.

It was supposed to be an easier day, but I’ve already sat through an hour-long meeting. On top of that, I’m debugging an issue and still need to figure out the solution.

A few months back, Sam Altman was fired as CEO of OpenAI by the board of directors. At the time, I said Netflix should make a docu-series about it.

Well, now a movie is being made, with Andrew Garfield starring as Sam Altman. The movie is titled "Artificial".

OpenAI has re-introduced GPT-4o under the Legacy models. They’ve also added three modes for user control: Fast, Thinking, and Auto..

The BlueSky app on Android takes forever to load. Geez!

Good morning/afternoon, ladies and gents!

It’s a hectic day with meetings and back-to-back interviews. There are also some issues that need to be fixed in one of the apps.

I hope you’re all having a great day.
