Here’s the full story. When the attacker reached out, I expected chaos. Instead, I met someone absurdly skilled, weirdly honest, and surprisingly open about why he did it. He’s from Russia. And his “job” is running a full stresser service - hundreds of servers across data centers, custom built browsers with Rust, distributed load generators, all built and managed by him. At one point he even had 479 attacks running in parallel for different customers. He walked me through how he bypassed multiple layers of protection at @dodopayments. He showed me the tooling he built. He explained how he tests hundreds of sites at once. No ransom. No extortion. Just….. “I don’t like weak security and I wanted to push you.” And honestly, he did push us. Hard. We spent 48 hours fixing gaps we didn’t know existed. He pointed out where we were strong and where we weren’t. He even shared suggestions on how to harden the stack further. The wildest part? What started as an attack turned into a conversation about infra, security, and resilience. Internet is a strange place. But sometimes the people trying to break you end up making you stronger.


the sluttiest thing an early stage startup can do is get their devrel a partner! (my solo devrels will know)

Every few years, the world reminds us of our place. A threat here, a tariff there. But the message is the same: stay in your lane, India. Global powers will always bully us, unless we take our destiny in our own hands. And the only way to do that is if we collectively decide to become the world's largest most unapologetic superpower in the world. In economy, in technology, in defense, and most importantly, in ambition. There is absolutely no other way.

We at @gumlethq are planning to launch some big features powered by AI, and I had to do a deep dive on LLMs. Here is a quick summary. First, the big models are getting a lot better. Something that was released 6 months ago is now not performing as well as something that was released a month ago. Second, my hypothesis that smaller and more efficient models will improve significantly is true. Smaller models from 6 month ago are crap. The smaller models released last month are so much better. way better than chatgpt that was released 1.5 years ago. Third, not all players are equal. Google is badass here. OpenAI is the second-best. Anthropic is close third. Rest all things like Llama, Mistral, Amazon, Microsoft, all wayyyy behind. Fourth, no good open source models exist EXCEPT Gemma 3 27B by Google. That model is very good and can run on any desktop machine. Game changer.

ગુજરાતી કવિતાના ચાહકો માટે લયસ્તરો અદભૂત વેબસાઇટ છે. જેમને સ્કૂલમાં ગુજરાતીના પેપર સિવાય કવિતા સાથે પનારો પડ્યો ન હોય તેઓ પણ મુલાકાત લેશે તો મોજ પડી જશે એ નક્કી છે. વર્ષોથી ચાલતી આ વેબસાઇટ આજે પણ નિયમિત અપડેટ થતી રહે છે. હૉમ પેજની જમણી તરફ કવિઓના લીસ્ટમાંથી કોઈપણ કવિને ક્લિક કરીને વાંચી શકાય છે. તો કાવ્યપ્રકારોના લીસ્ટમાં હાઇકુ, સોનેટ, ગરબા, ગીતથી લઈને દોહા અને લગ્નગીતો સુધીનો રસથાળ છે (બે હજારથી વધુ તો ગઝલ છે). આંટો મારજો ક્યારેક. layastaro.com
