@pavandavuluri Pavan, why is it so shit? You all need to do a deep dive into this. Surely, this isn't new feedback. Even without the whole AI enshittification, Windows is just terrible.

Nobody owns the Ganga. How does one claim ownership over one’s own mother? To reduce “Maa” to a line item on a real-estate ledger is not just absurd; it is a quiet desecration of a civilizational sentiment. In the Dharmic Indic world, a river is not a resource; it is a relationship. She is invoked, remembered, and revered; not parceled, priced, or possessed. This is not just faith; rather it is a way of seeing existence itself, where nature is not external property but sacred kin. The very impulse to declare ownership over Maa Ganga betrays a profound illiteracy of that ethos. It reveals a mind trained to measure land, but incapable of understanding reverence.

@Sherveen @aronchick Or the CTO doesn't want to get on Garry's wrong side and thought flattery couldn't hurt.

@aronchick No worries -- gstack is just mediocre skills. Regardless, a CTO impressed by them is unfathomably behind. There are lots of CTOs that are unfathomably behind, but if Garry is tweeting about it, it's arguably a CTO that should be more modern, not used as a trophy.

To be clear -- (1) Garry should be embarrassed for tweeting this. (2) If it's true, that CTO should be fired immediately. (3) Whenever I think I've finally hit the bottom of "VCs are mostly stupid + lucky (other than my friends)," one of them manages to find a new bottom.

@pratikpoddar The biggest unlock is still intelligence. Since "AI" is monumentally stupid.

@svpino they don't work. But people are still selling them as services and making money. If the point is to make money, then I guess agents are like snake oil. You just need to know how to sell.

We just got the wildest conspiracy theory about @dodopayments Apparently we used to be a pizza place… and somehow entered the payments market because of “tech” 😭 Reality is less cinematic. Two founders frustrated with global payments for SaaS and AI businesses decided to build the thing they wished existed. No pizza. Just APIs, compliance, and a lot of caffeine. But if the payments thing doesn’t work out… maybe we open a pizzeria. 🍕🦤

@ChShersh @abdulazeem_s I can't believe this is the state of software development these days. This utterly useless piece of tech is being compared to Linux. I am guessing this is the reason.

4. India's light inequality is falling -- fast The coefficient of variation (spread between bright and dark districts) dropped from 3.91 to 2.47 -- a 37% decline in inequality over 12 years.

We kept hearing the same thing about quick commerce: “They’re killing it.” “10-minute delivery has won.” “Blinkit is profitable now right?” So instead of debating takes, @karansehgal47 and I wrote the report. Quick Commerce in India: A Forensic Research Report

As a car enthusiast, I actually don’t fully agree with the logic of launching cars in colors “nobody will buy.” Because cars are not just products. Cars are emotion. When a brand like Tata Motors launches something like the Tata Punch EV in a loud yellow, it’s a turn off. Most Indian buyers are practical. We think about resale value, heat absorption, dust visibility, maintenance, and how the car will look after 5 years. White, silver, grey and black dominate our roads for a reason. They are safe, timeless and easy to live with. So when brands showcase a wild color at launch, it can feel disconnected from the real buyer. Almost like they are designing for Instagram reels. As enthusiasts, we care about stance, design lines, proportions, road presence. Sometimes a loud launch color hides the actual design. A clean white or deep metallic grey often shows the surfacing and details better. That’s when you truly judge the car. Also, first impression matters. The launch color becomes the face of the car. If people don’t emotionally connect with that shade, the car may start with a slightly negative bias “looks too funky even if it’s a solid product. Yes, bold colors grab attention. But sometimes subtle confidence makes a stronger statement. In India, a car that looks classy on day one and still looks classy after 8 years is the design I admire. P.S.: Tata Punch EV is a solid product.

No hate, but why doesn’t Sarvam AI have its website available in Indic languages like Hindi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujarati, and Urdu? Why is it only in English?
