Despite all of @BBMPofficial’s shortcomings (and there are many), the one thing I am really grateful for are the parks it maintains. Yelehanka lake park is heaven for a run on a Sunday morning like today’s.
A friend registered a company with the ROC last week. Submitted all information about his firm along with the contact details. Suddenly, he is getting mails from banks to open account with them and take loan. Insurance companies are offering policies. Courier companies are…

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.
NB: it’s not rare.
I have a rare mental disorder that causes me to believe rational arguments and accurate data will cause people to change their mind.
This should fill elected leaders & civil servants with shame. An elderly citizen is doing what they ought to be doing. Absent a sense of shame among city administrators & elected city leaders, such noble struggles will remain symbolic.
This clip which was shared with me is about Shri Inder Jit Singh Sidhu of Chandigarh. Apparently, every morning at 6 AM, in the quiet streets of Chandigarh’s sector 49, this 88-year-old retired police officer begins his day in service. Armed with nothing but a cycle cart and…
Claude Code is awesome. I'm using it much more than I use Cursor currently...
Mystery solved!! Ubuntu 22.04 had an automatic update to systemd. This update restarted systemd that wiped IP rules and took down networking for Kubernetes infra. The update came out 9 June. 9-10 June dozens of services had big outages. Like Heroku: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/why-reliabil…
