Hey folks 👋 I’m a bit late, but here’s my 2025 wrap-up so far. 2025 has been a year of learning, experimenting, burnout, recovery 🏥, and growth 📈. •Took time to disconnect—spent time in nature 🌿 and visited some beautiful places to reset and gain clarity • Learned a lot about Web2 systems, scaling, cloud services from @kirat_tw and self-learning • Worked as a Full-Stack Developer at an #NBFC company handling student, personal, and school loans • Joined a neuroscience healthcare AI startup in Mar , backed by #ICMR & #CfHE, IIT Hyderabad, building an AI-assisted long-term neuromonitoring system for ICU care and then resigned in August due to burnout; needed a hard reset Again, I started my web3 and low-level system journey: -------- • Graduated from @AckeeBlockchain (Season 7) 🎓 • Selected for @solanaturbine and graduated 🎓 from the Builders Cohort; after that, got the opportunity to work with a research-driven working group exploring networking, eBPF, XDP, and systems-level ideas Massive respect to the mentors, especially @japarjam, and the culture of questioning, researching, and thinking beyond accepted facts • Won a hackathon focused on code simplicity & readability, where I built a Rust CLI tool Huge inspiration from @stephenlb; he is a sharp, practical, and motivated developer as always • Worked with some amazing builders along the way • Started building @AxonForMiners for the Cypherpunk Hackathon, rethinking Bitcoin mining using Solana (Still working on it post-hackathon) • In ~4 months after resigning, I experimented deeply with Rust + Solana • By December, joined another NBFC as a Senior SDE Consultant, working on MSME & business lending systems for now • While entering 2026, got approached again by the same neuroscience startup. They’ve secured funding and are building large-scale, sharded time-series ingestion & query systems • Applied for Q1 Accelerated Program (2026) at Solana @solanaturbine Honestly, I don’t feel like I’ve achieved enough yet Goals for 2026 🎯 • Land a strong Rust/systems role • One trip to Japan 🇯🇵 • good health, learnings and contribution to open source • learning guitar I manifested a few things, and I truly believe manifestation works only when backed by relentless hard work. Took time to rest and recharge. Now it’s time to show up, grind, and keep building. 🚀 POV: notes from my journal – some days wins, some days lessons.

Been reading Rust AI infra codebases lately and half the engineering is basically: “how do we move absurd amounts of tokens around without copying memory 14 times” Arc, Cow, mmap, batching, lock-free queues, pinned buffers, cache locality. Rust doesn’t magically make these systems faster, It just exposes bad architecture immediately. Which is probably why serious infra teams keep reaching for it?

👀 @solana is about to quantummogg

@shankstwin Bookmarked 😎

lets do this in rust but after exams

@jkdotsol @magicblock dope bro seriously 🔥

What if cron jobs could think? 🤯 Built Agent-Cron using @magicblock what exactly is it • Define rules in plain English • Agent reasons and executes them • Private on-chain settlement on magicblock-ER live: agentcron.jkrishna.xyz repo: github.com/JkrishnaD/agen… Here is the small demo of how it actually works

@paarugsethi Bro seriously it's a good option 🥲 I'm paying 18k for pg for 2 sharing in Indiranagar

good folks of blr, this is a bittersweet post. i’m moving out — looking for someone to occupy this room in a gated society in domlur. - 1 bedroom w/o attached washroom (dedicated washroom right outside the room) - lots of sunlight + AC - 3 BHK on the ground floor with 2 other male flatmates - huge, gated society with a swimming pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, garden and a lot of peace - 2 mins drive from 100ft road - rent 24k/month

@rohanBuilds Big congo bro 🤞

Didn't expect this to blowup but damn . Update - Went well kirat said see you in Delhi ! Delhi it is ig waiting for the email now...

@theaanuragg That's the reason I m not converting my crypto to INR🥲

It’s even worse for me tbh my bank account has been frozen for 2 months. I explained I work in crypto as an engineer and just convert to INR for survival, and they still treated me like a criminal. x.com/tayvano_/statu…

@jkdotsol Cool man 😎

proposed🤞🏻

@shankstwin No worries, mac to aagya kam se kam 😅

@MeLovegupta M4 M5 ka mini release nhi hua 🥲

Welcome home buddy Thanks TypeScript ❤️ Will unbox it after 5 days 🥲

how to reach his level of intelligence ?

No point building a coding tool at the app layer anymore? Labs will eat you. Anthropic specifically is super hungry.

@KavyamSingh Bro , lemme know , will meet 😅

Everyone says moving to Solana is about Rust. They’re wrong. It’s about parallelism and stateless programs. 🧵 In this thread, we’ll walk through what actually changes when you move from EVM to SVM: > accounts > fees > transactions > smart contracts (programs) > and more We’ll also explore developer setup, including tooling and SDKs. By the end, you’ll have the knowledge needed to start your @solana_devs journey.

@chet_weets That’s completely fine. Even I am working as a Senior SDE at 24 😅 but not getting that much

A 23 year old girl working as a senior software engineer is earning Rs. 1.60 lacs per month Net in-hand salary. I wonder how much she will earn in her 30s and 40s. The only regret in my life is I am not an engineer 😭

@shankstwin That's fuckin cool , tbh 🫡

😍😍

@fuyofulo @rektoff_xyz @danielkcumming Absolutely 💯

@MeLovegupta @rektoff_xyz @danielkcumming rektoff really making us use the og pen and paper

It was fun solving Quiz 1 on Rust’s memory layout (Part 1 & Part 2) by @rektoff_xyz — literally with pen and paper 📝 Lately, I’ve been solving Quiz 2, which dives into ownership, and honestly… still just as fun. All credit goes to @danielkcumming for an amazing session — truly great stuff 🚀
