Today was probably my last time going to college. Ironically, a professor asked for feedback on the lectures after 4 years. I honestly wondered what purpose it serves now when everything is already done and dusted. These years were a mix of highs and lows. Some things worked out; many didn’t. Met a lot of people, drifted away from some, and learned that not everyone who smiles at you genuinely wishes you well. Some carried unnecessary pride, some showed their true colors, but I guess that’s just part of growing up. Honestly, college taught me less through lectures and more through people, experiences, failures, and the amount of time I wasted figuring things out. Still grateful for all of it. In the end, I learned a lot, not just academically, but about people, time, and life itself. Now back to work ✌️

@BenjDicken Currently reading DDIA, DI is in the queue, and I’ve just added Designing Distributed Systems. Probably taking on too much, going slow and steady.

Database Internals: Complete. I've now read both this and DDIA over the past 9 months. In some ways I liked DI more than DDIA. DDIA is great, but felt it was too verbose in the second half. DI is shorter and tighter. Every single engineer can benefit from reading Database Internals. (Yes, even all of you React Miami-ers!) This won't teach you everything, but it's a great place to start.

Share your GitHub profile, I’ll review it and drop feedback!

I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and thank you for believing in me to lead the company that has always put you at the center of our work. This is not goodbye. It’s a hello to John and I can’t wait for you to get to know him like I do! 🙏

What goes into the system prompt vs. what goes into an Agent Skill? Agent’s system prompt is for identity, constraints, and persistent context. • What the agent is and what it should always or never do • How it should generally approach problems (reasoning style) • Persistent context needed for every interaction Agent Skills are for capabilities the agent can choose to invoke when relevant. • Dynamic context • Performing actions with side effective (e.g., calling APIs) • Anything that’s optional depending on the situation Practical rules of thumb: If it’s a specific action the agent does, it goes in a skill. If it’s the identity of who the agent is and how it thinks, it goes in the system prompt. If it changes per-request, it goes in a skill. If it's stable across all requests, it goes in the system prompt.

@MIHIR___0007 @code_kartik If everyone switched to PHP Laravel tomorrow, it’d get targeted and break too.

@code_kartik Use PHP laravel xd

How do engineers manage this exploit fatigue I am just tired atp first it was litellm then axios and now vercel. How do you stay calm in this situation?

Even solid stacks fail under real DDoS pressure. CAPTCHA and WAFs help, but they’re not a silver bullet. The real gap is in designing for abuse from day one, rate limiting, isolation, backpressure, and assuming things will break. Most people only think about this after it happens.

Every opportunity and DM I’ve received so far has come through my GitHub. People notice when you consistently ship and share real work. Building projects and contributing has been the biggest drivers for me, everything else tends to follow from that.

Meta AI sidechat on Instagram is actually useful, being able to summarize and query your own chats contextually just makes sense.

had a great time at yc startup school today :))

@dishantwt_ hapyyyy birthdayyyy

so I turned 22 today, had lot of small wins last year but I haven't made a million dollars yet hopefully I do by 23, learned a lot last year from Gsoc to my first job, to making good friends along the way, heart breaks, sacrifices, everything. it has been a crazy ride

Got the invite for the wedding tomorrow, see you guys at YC Startup School 😈

@ayushagarwal @dodopayments Awesome, how are you handling translations under the hood, predefined locale packs or dynamic translation, especially for billing and legal terms?

@dodopayments customer portal now supports 21 localized languages. your customer in brazil sees portuguese. your customer in japan sees japanese. your customer in germany sees german. no configuration. no translation files. it just works. subscription management, payment history, billing details - all in your customer's native language. auto-detected from their browser. that's it. no setup on your end.

@ayushagarwal hii, I will be there :))

who is coming tomorrow for YC startup school? I will be there, let meet.

@dishantwt_ the real issue is knowing when to switch from reasoning to rules

atp they should just use string parsing rather than guessing

opus 4.7 btw
