This man dropped out of a no-name college in India to be a software engineer and by 33, worked his way up to being CEO of a $100M+ company in New York.
Here's the never-before-shared incredibly inspirational story of Ershad Kunnakkadan:
> be middle class kid in random state school in Kerala, India
> get really into computers
> senior hands you Ubuntu 8.04 CD, whole new world
> starts contributing to SMC (a malayalam computing group)
> gets into blogging cause SMC seniors are into it
> go to no-name small private college in Kerala
> spend more time in terminals than classrooms
> shell scripting contests, Linux admin, security, virus cleaning, bots, paper presentations
> doesnt see a point to college exams
> drops out after 2nd year, promises family "I will earn a degree somehow"
> lands internship at small software co
> grows into being an architect
> found security bugs in Github and Prezi
> reads "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" and the "The Google Story", dreamt of being in the US one day
> does Google Summer of Code
> earns a degree remotely from Bharathiar University
> gets remote job at BigBinary
> moves back to Kochi to be near family
> involved in local free software circles and workshops, events, meetups
> building a quiet dense body of work over loud personal brand
> gets introduced to Gumroad as a consultant first
> joins Gumroad as a senior engineer
> gets married
> moves to Abu Dhabi to be closer to wife's family
> does the boring crucial stuff - scalability, security, payouts, infra
> grows to being a staff software engineer at Gumroad
> support millions of users and $1B+ in creator earnings
> just focusses on self-improvement
> never once thinks about promotion
> moves to New York City on an O-1 visa
> Gumroad looking for a new CEO
> board looks around and its clear who is best fit for the job
> become CEO of a $100M+ gmv business
I just love the story of Ershad. No brands, no pedigree, no MBA, no loudness. When I asked him the quality that got him here, he said "reliability". A truly kind, quiet and generous person. Who loves computers. Dropping out when you're rich is trendy in America, but to see someone Indian drop out and work their way up into the top role is pure inspiration.
Don't worry if you don't have all the accolades and ornaments you see in people who achieve your dreams. Be a good person, and be reliable.

I used the notebook which ran 2010 full Bitcoin node
After long time of Convincing, oldest bitcoin full node of India @theniteshsingh started his journey on notebook in August 2010 finally opening up to share his experience with the public.
talking to bitcoiners from different timelines,I found huge difference why they came in and how their philosophy evolved.
2020 - saw it as an asset and store of value, like digital gold, hedge.“bitcoin only rest is Shitcoin“, more noice less holding.
2017 - traders wave,exploring everything and anything,ICO fever.
2014-explored it as a payment rail, remittances, some found it via the dark web utility.
2010 -drawn to the philosophy. peer-to-peer transactions over price. open to possibilities, very mature opinions.
Bitcoin stories around it just keep changing.
Nodes remember things what narratives forget !

Been down with a fever for 16 days straight now. Ugh. Initial tests showed Typhoid and Dengue, recent tests are clean on both. Fever still not broken. On 3 antibiotics. On an IV saline drip. Stuck in the hospital for more time. Thought I was gonna die multiple times. All bacterial culture tests are coming back negative. And Covid is starting to loom large.
I'm not religious. I'm closer to Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men. "What good are your rules of this is what it brought you to?" Randomness is all. (That's why he got hit by a car).
Think I'll survive though. End rant.
