There is an invisible layer that affects many friendships in Bengaluru. That layer is called urban and civic exhaustion. Friendships don’t fade because people don’t care. They fade because the city quietly drains the energy required to sustain them. The traffic takes an hour out of your evening. Work spills into what used to be personal time. Weekends become recovery periods rather than social ones. You start saying things like: “Let’s meet soon.” “Next week for sure.” “Once things settle down.” Things rarely settle down. What earlier required a 10 minute auto ride now requires planning, coordination, and stamina. You have to build stamina to be rejected by drivers on apps, to cross under constructed sites, to take long jumps over open drainages and collect dust on your face. Friendships slowly move from physical spaces to WhatsApp reactions and Instagram replies. The affection is still there. The intent is still there. But the civic friction of the city sits between people. In cities like Bengaluru, maintaining friendships has quietly become an act of effort. And sometimes, effort is the first casualty of urban and civic exhaustion.

I mostly listen to podcasts during my commute. But I kept hitting two problems: 1.I bookmark great long-form articles every day and never get to read them. 2.Spotify podcasts often feel dated or not tailored to exactly what I want. So built an @openclaw skill. Every morning it: • scans @hackernews and my favorite RSS feeds • picks the best story • researches it, adds context + counterpoints • verifies the script against sources • turns it into a custom podcast with @elevenlabs in a tone I actually enjoy • sends it straight to my WhatsApp Haven’t opened Spotify podcasts in a week.

@SwapAgarwal 👋

A friend (ex-Meta engineer) has developed a really nice mock interview app. It responds pretty fast in realtime and even asks follow-up questions as well. There are a bunch of AI costs involved so don't want to share the link to everyone. Drop a 👋 if you'd like to try it out.

f*ck it, i'm leaking my FULL notion library you get access to all of my resources: - over 200 prompts for ChatGPT, Claude and Grok 4 - n8n automations for cold outreach and SEO - blueprints to go from $0 to $10k/month - 1,000 perfect copywriting swipe file basically everything you need to make money with AI reply "LEAK" + retweet and i'll send it over (must be following so i can dm) i should never be giving this away for FREE, that's why i'll delete in 24hrs

@EXM7777 Leak

@EXM7777 Build

SaaS founders are going to hate me for this... but we've reached a point where literally anyone can build and launch a SaaS in days that's why there is a new "game-changing" software trending every single day but here's the thing... instead of paying $300+ monthly for subscriptions, why not just build your own versions? i created a system that reverse-engineers any SaaS: - breaks down their entire architecture and feature set - creates step-by-step blueprint for vibe-coding your copy - generates custom Cursor prompts for instant development i should probably keep this for myself, but whatever... reply "BUILD" + retweet and i'll send you the system (must follow for DM access)

my goal for the 9 weeks of @at_altspace program - “keep doing hard things, consistently.” for this week - its cold dming. being a tech guy, i’ve rarely done outreach… but for my product… imma go all out 🫡

My new lifestyle: build, ship, learn, repeat. Ant that too from the lap of the Himalayas. Thank you @aigrantsindia , @at_altspace , @freemanindia @0xBosky for the opportunity.

#AltSpace's #AILaunchpad has kicked off and how! Some of the most brilliant minds in #AI in India, coming together to build apps and products with great impact potential. Welcome, everyone. Here's to a great residency! Let's Build. Ship. Launch! @dprank @0xBosky @freemanindia

found the best coliving, coworking space in 🏔️ - view: mighty Dhauladhar range - cozy rooms - coworking space - home food - amazing wifi (see 🧵) why is this place really special? people here are living the slow mountain life, blocking out city chaos & rediscovering themselves

@DudeWhoCode @Somya_Crazy @at_altspace Dodo is chief of the pack now, as pochi and hippo grow old, dodo has taken up the duties

@Somya_Crazy @at_altspace Did you meet this little guy from neighbors? I guess he should be grown up by now

Back on X after a 4-year break because I just returned from @at_altspace and I must rave about it. But this time, keeping my TL free of guff: travel, the literary life, fitness, and food only. If you need a getaway to be more productive, AltSpace should be your destination.

Haven’t tweeted in a while… but this view forced a comeback. WiFi ✅ Fresh air ✅ Himalayan dopamine ✅ Building suddenly feels too easy. @at_altspace
