Youngster - Aim to be rich, not famous. Be quiet, most people don't need to know much about you & your life. You need 1/2 quality friends in your life and a loving family ( parents + love of your life + 1 or 2 kids) you’re set. rest is noise. had a great time again in India.
It’s SO SO important for people in India to have a degree to prepare for life, especially if you ever thought to live in Western countries like US, Europe or Canada etc.. These days you can teach yourself most of the things, one big difference is immigration options. Most of…
Don't drop out of college to start or work for a startup. There will be other (and probably better) startup opportunities, but you can't get your college years back.
The longer I work in tech the more I realize that writing code is rarely the hard part. It’s all about how you communicate. The key to having a successful career in TECH is communication, not just code.
If you are a smart engineer, one of the best things you can do is to aim to get amazing at communication - both written and verbal. Don't take it for granted. Just because you can write words doesn't mean that you can communicate clearly as well.
Most companies fail at product and distribution but it’s easier to blame distribution. If you’re failing at distribution, check the product.

you can always tell when someone is going to be successful because they're too different from everyone around them without even trying. they carry this quiet intolerance for mediocrity and domestication. you can love or hate them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
one of the biggest fucking problems with traditional resumes or linkedin is how aggressively ppl pigeonhole you. ppl glance at your job history, make lazy assumptions… “oh you did x, so you must be a y” & suddenly you’re boxed into some narrow, reductive archetype. it’s brutal…
"You're never going to be 'ready' before you take the leap. If you keep waiting, you'll wait until the window has closed, and all you see is regret. Summon a bit of bravery, don't overthink it, and do your part for the future. It's 2.1 or bust, baby!" world.hey.com/dhh/the-parent…
You need to reach a stage in life, where people are always eager to help you, coz they see their help not as charity but as a seed investment which will give them much higher ROI in the future.
