Aditya Gupta 💻

Extremely excited to announce that I'm (finally) joining the @laravel team! Today is my first day as the VP of Marketing and Community. I love this community and I couldn't be more excited to join the team. This is the era of builders, and Laravel is the best way to build.

Many international media in the last 7 days: "Massive protests in India", "Govt stalled", "India unsafe". (To deter investors, tourists, and disillusion Indians to incite more.) 🇮🇳 India in the last 7 days: July 21st - ONGC reaches a depth of 1 km into the earth for geothermal power. Inaugurates two such wells for 1MW of clean power in remote areas. ---------- July 22nd - Indian Navy commissioned INS Malvan, the second indigenously designed and built Anti-Submarine Warfare with over 80% made-in-India components. ---------- July 23rd - DRDO's Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), with Hyderabad-based Azad Engineering, delivered India’s first indigenous expendable turbojet engine in the 350 kg thrust class. ---------- July 24th - DRDO successfully conducted the maiden flight test of the indigenous Kusha Long Range Surface-to-Air Missile from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Island, Odisha. It is called India's S-400. Big win by DRDO but under appreciated. ---------- July 25th - India got Sarnath (near Varanasi where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon) inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List during the 48th World Heritage Committee session in Busan. ---------- July 26th - India in Commonwealth Games: Mirabai Chanu won gold in women's 48 kg. Rishikanta Singh won silver in men's 60 kg (Games record in snatch). Raja Muthupandi won silver in men's 65 kg. India’s early tally included 1 gold, 2 silver, and 1 bronze. Previous day Para powerlifter Jhandu Kumar won bronze. ---------- July 27th (Coming day) - More commonwealth medals to come for India. India's first hydrogen powered train (one of the few countries in the world) already saves 3200 liters of diesel in test runs. High-powered task force on exam reforms constituted to make India’s examination system (especially NTA-conducted exams such as NEET, JEE Main, and CUET) more reliable, transparent, leak-proof, and technology-driven. The government is set to introduce the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 in Parliament (Lok Sabha). Tougher penalties, time bound investigations and sentencing, stronger mechanisms against paper leak. ---------- Everyday India and Indians are achieving some amazing things and taking the country forward. Issues, protests (and accompanied anarchy) aren't everything that define India. Though they consume all news and media time. Don't get 'black pilled' too much by them. The future is bright for India as long as the govt is stable and we do not let adversaries take advantage of internal issues. ---------- Indian Gen-Z are achieving great things already. The small number we see engaging in arson & violence hijacking peaceful protests by others, using filthy language, and having perverted thinking are just a small percentage. They will grow out of it, and more won't become them, if India can take care of the perverse and mind corrupting content they get exposed to as kids and teenagers.

The protests that are coming soon to a street near you in Modi 3.0 in the coming months: 1) NEET related protests 2) IMA doctors protests 3) Farmer protests 4) Muslim led protests (for Palestine but soon against Adani and Modi using fake news) 5) Khalistani related protests mostly outside India More are planned for later for the next years.

I must say using AI to make refactors is very fun. Refactorbation has never been more convenient

@nandini__bagga if i had skills, claude would be job less.

Claude has skills, but do you?

How I got hired at @laravelphp is still wild to me. It literally started with a cold message. I cold dm taylor out of nowhere asking him to hire me at Laravel. He didn’t hire me at that time, but that one DM started a conversation. At that time, they were hiring for a few roles, but honestly, I wasn’t the right fit for any of them. I had limited experience apart from what they were looking for. So instead of waiting for the perfect role, I decided to send message anyway. I built a full website explaining why Taylor should hire me at Laravel. laravel.pushpak1300.me It was my version of /brag which @aarondfrancis and @IanLandsman is talking about. A lot of the stuff on that site feels old now because I was at a very different stage 2 years back. But the funny part is, some of the exact things I mentioned in that pitch are things I’m now actually working on at Laravel. That still feels unreal. Your work, your ideas, your side projects, your weird little experiments, they all become a brand pitch without you even realising it. People often ask me - what’s the one thing really changed my career and i think that is building side projects. You never know which side project, cold email, random demo, or small idea can open a door for you. I never imagined myself working at Laravel. But because I decided to be a little delusional guy and send that cold message anyway, it happened. Of course, it won’t work most of the time. But it starts a conversation. With a potential employer, collaborator, client, or someone who can change your career in ways you didn’t expect. So yeah, keep shipping side projects. Keep deploying those random ideas. Keep talking about what you’re building. Market your work a little. And please, Just never stop building.

Deep State and Nicobar Protests (Thread) In this thread, I expose the network of NGOs driving the Nicobar protests and their deep connections to the Soros-NED-USAID-Ford ecosystem. What is role of Germany and how Rahul Gandhi's Germany visit are interconnected 1/18
