October has been an absolute nightmare for software
> Railway - customer secrets exposure
> LiteLLM - malicious PyPI + Docker releases
> Zeabur - infrastructure breached
> OpenCode - AI API keys exposed
> OVHcloud CLI - official binaries backdoored
> Rank Math PRO - malware in official plugin
> TeamUpdraft - customer data compromised
> ConnectWise - cloud backup identities compromised
> Tensorlake - npm package infected
> SubQuery - backdoored npm package
> GhostAction - GitHub repos with malicious workflows
> PHP - critical RCE vulnerabilities
> Node.js - security vulnerabilities patched
> eMudhra - certificate authority keys compromised
> Tailscale - eMudhra incident
At this point, the biggest security risk might not be the code we write, but the code we trust...

when i say everyone is building the same thing this is what i mean
Introducing Boski, the personal agent that understands your goals and works 24/7 to get things done for you.
Compared to other agents, we are building Boski to be maximally proactive, focused on getting to know you and achieving your goals.
You don’t have to connect your calendar, email, or give Boski any of your personal data. Just like your best friend doesn’t need to see your inbox, Boski executes on your goals without it.
When you start using Boski, it will attempt to move you a step forward with your most ambitious goals every day. It will literally find you a girlfriend.
We’ve been working together with @glica_lukasz @radek_baczynski @futurammi @wiktorklu for 3 months. We first launched Boski 2 months ago and we’ve been in private beta since then. Now, Boski is open to everyone.
Boski in the future will be 100% free, but for now we are launching with an experimental pricing of $5/week. This will help us protect against spammers and onboard high quality people first as we scale compute
Please check it out! We are running user interviews with every single new user right now

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

This is democracy. He has resigned. We have two more demands. We won't go like this.
Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned. But the families of the children who committed suicide should receive compensation of one crore rupees. They should get it.
One crore rupees compensation to all those families.
And second, these police goons who acted on the 20th.
Action must be taken against the police officers for that.
Remember, do not mess with cockroach

Got rejected for a interview due to my accent!
Recently i cold Dm'ed a founder, and he saw my wellfound AI interview video, but he rejected me to even have a interview even tho he seemed to like my portfolio and skillset.

Think of yourself as an LLM.
Every social interaction, every meeting, burns your tokens.
Unless someone is a paid subscriber to your attention, you are under no obligation to answer low-quality prompts.

Major difference in my mind:
- an engineer, given a problem, invents and tries multiple solutions and stops when the solution is good enough. The goal is product innovation and shipping.
- a scientist asks new questions, proposes various new solutions, compares them (sometimes with old ones), and writes about it. The methodology must be sound or else peers will sneer. The goal is scientific breakthroughs and technological progress.
Both can be called "researchers". Many people can do both: these are activities, not identities.
Importantly, most product innovations are built on scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations that happened 2, 5, 10, or 20 years earlier.

In 2026, we have CPUs with billions of transistors and 2-nanometer architecture, yet it takes your laptop longer to open a basic "To-Do" app today than it took a computer in 1995 to launch a word processor.
This is Wirth's Law: Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster. We have essentially "spent" all our hardware gains on layers of abstraction, unoptimized libraries and AI-generated code bloat

Tired, but not giving up! Pls download and share before there is a gag order on me.
Thanks to @IndiaESI (who also impleaded in my PIL against misleading branding of sugary drinks as ORS), @FAIMA_INDIA_ , HRDA Andhrapradesh, HRDA Telangana, MARD Thane, MARD Nagpur, Junior Doctor's Association Ahmedabad, Telangana Junior Doctor's Association, Junior Doctor's Association Ranchi, T-SRDA, GARD, Telangana Doctor's Forum, RDA Aligarh, RDWS UP, IMA Telangana State, IMA Hyderabad Airport, Endocrine Society of Telangana, Indian Doctor's and Dermatologists against quackery, for condemning the notice of Johnson&Johnson and Kenvue in which they accused me of disparaging them for my commercial benefits and views! Thank you for staying by my side! Grateful!

With agentic slop, we are trading software reliability for shipping velocity and calling it progress. It isn't. Systems are more fragile than ever, and engineers building them no longer trust their code to hold up in real-world edge cases.
I am pro-AI, but this will backfire - big time.

A final-year law student, Rishi Kumar from Tamil Nadu National Law University, refuses to delete his blog criticising the Supreme Court… despite pressure from his own university.
Why?
Because the administration allegedly received calls from advocates, judges, and others claiming the post harms the institution’s “reputation.”
The blog titled “The Supreme Court of India Has No Spine” questioned the court’s decision to ban an NCERT textbook chapter on judicial corruption.
But here’s the real issue:
A law student is being told to silence himself… for expressing a legal opinion.
His response?
Clear and powerful:
“My opinions are mine… you do not own my voice or my conscience.”
He even said he’s ready to face disciplinary action rather than back down.
This isn’t just about one blog.
This is about academic freedom vs institutional pressure.
If law students… the future of the judiciary are discouraged from questioning the system,
then who exactly is allowed to question it?
Criticism of institutions ≠ disrespect.
Silencing criticism = weakening democracy.

Software engineering reduces to just project management at places where there is no innovation.
In those environments, the work shifts. You are not designing systems or solving hard problems. You are mostly tracking tickets, syncing with stakeholders, and making sure things land on time.
This usually does not happen overnight. It shows up when there is a lack of ambition, both top-down and bottom-up. Roadmaps become safer, fewer new ideas are explored, and most energy goes into coordination, maintenance, and delivery. Over time, bureaucracy takes over.
This is worth thinking about when you are evaluating where to work. Look at how often teams experiment, how problems are framed, and whether new ideas are encouraged. A team's energy around innovation is a signal.
The job title stays the same. The work does not.

Bangalore tech conference.
> Full newbies.
> All their product sounds sh*t.
> All presented their personal projects thought they achieved AGI.
> No product validations.
> Some products were straight copied from outside.
> Realised why 99% startups fail.
Outcome: Go to paid conferences to filter out the crowd and actually learn. – at Bengaluru, India
