Nothing resets me like going home. Sleeping 18 hours, being overfed, not having to think about anything, and no one questioning it. That one single day, an ultimate privilege, to go back and win the world. No detox, vacation, spa, self care can come close.

Checkout his OG paper "Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior" on joonsungpark.com. It is indeed one of the coolest things I have read on AI so far.

the timeline is full of people using Claude Code to generate ads, recover corrupted video, make landing pages, manage business texts… the narrow view of coding agents is that they primarily decrease the cost of software development the ambitious view is that almost any problem/solution can be expressed in software and this capability is upstream of all knowledge work

And from now on, I want to live in this phase of razor sharp focus with a platform to go crazy with thinking and executing and iterating and talking to people. Here’s attached the poem named “Ask me Questions” I wrote a while ago, which has finally found it’s moment. (with bit of Whitman) Thanks for reading so far, this is the post. :)

I now while building this, ask myself the following questions: 1. What part of this product’s workflow would I like to be involved in vs what will I like to delegate to get rid of → the latter needs to be removed with AI agents. 2. How can I make the part where I am involved better → needs to be improved w/depth across data sources. 3. How does someone share my product’s output with their team and what do they do with it → it should majorly be ask and answer.

2025 has been remarkable (re: will be) in my lifespan. This year, I spent too much time on AI, to use it and learn about it. The conclusion, was somehow, very unexpected though. By the end of it, I started feeling like an AI agent. I started realising that my adulthood is getting defined by what is being asked of me, to execute tasks (both at work and otherwise), and my worth by how efficiently (and fast) I do it.

@alanaagoyal this is really cool

new personal website inspired by apple notes it’s fast, fully interactive, & can be navigated entirely via keyboard shortcuts it was a ton of fun to build give it a try and leave me some notes 👋🏼 alanagoyal.com

An underrated reason why India has not been able to clean its poisonous air is that India simply does not have the smarts to solve its difficult problems. To solve urban pollution the right kind of political and administrative talent has to be in the right place, but such people cannot survive in the government for a reasonable time. Only bootlickers can survive, and bootlickers are not good at a lot of other things that don't wear boots.

@itsjoaki posthog ftw

PostHog or Googles Analytics for early stage projects?

Week 6 of cooking. // Come as you are, Nirvana

Ahead of the wedding season, this the calendar we referring to schedule discovery calls these days. :')

I have watched a copius amount of content on and by Zohran Mamdani. I desperately need to learn and take notes from how he talks. It's the best in class.

so excited. great things coming ahead.

@vaiishalii106 @BangaloreRoomi Pls DM!

@zeb_hermann @aryamankhawow Also pls lmk any best practices. I’m 2 weeks old to v0, but have used it for almost 80 hours now.

Hey! Few things which are taking >10 mins: 1. Adding state management or any action to a button. Ex: connect button A to action B, which does the following 2-3 things. These things are usually a drop down, creating a new row, or a state colour 2. Change the component X to resemble the design system of component Y. (In this case X and Y are two tables which are identical copies in a CRM. I have noticed a recurring pattern of referring to another element not working, best to use image references) 3. Open a new pop-up / pane / window on clicking on any specific button. The pane will have dimensions xy and will be empty for now Few things which are taking 2-5 mins, and should take lesser I believe: 1. Fetching the dimensions and design details of a component 2. Adding pre defined components like a CTA, a nav bar, etc (my use case has recurring components in plenty) (pls let me know if there is a way to save them and refer them like in Figma) And there are a bunch of other stuff, but probably I’m not doing them right

v0 is great. But why is it so slow. It's impossible to just do one thing if it's v0. I am always just everywhere to fill in the time it takes. Makes sense why they have the "dong" sound. Makes sense.
