Bhaskar Sarma🗿

I have had threads strewn around on my profile, so I am consolidating them in a thread of threads for easy reference. Featured: experiments, learnings, projects, whatever else I find interesting. Let's start with a copywriting experiment twitter.com/bhas/status/14…

@forallcurious It's too bad we don't have wrap travel yet. Could have reached Alpha Centauri in months or a couple of years, if the tides of the empyrean collaborated. Then again, Chrysalis might reach its destination in earth equivalent of 1752, so maybe it's a good thing we don't do wrap yet

🚨: Engineers just proposed a 36 mile long spacecraft called 'Chrysalis' that could carry 2400 people to Alpha Centauri, just 4 light-years away from us, on one way trip. The journey will take 400 years! The passengers who board it will never see Earth again. Neither will their children. Or their grandchildren.

@YESBANK It's very negligent of you to shut down accounts without giving heads up or redressal. Your officers also don't seem to understand that registered companies can operate without any employees working out of registered offices, or companies that have wfh policies.

@bhas Hi Bhaskar, we apologize for your unpleasant experience. We are re-escalating this issue to the respective team. Our team will get in touch with you soon.

Regretting opening a current account at @YESBANK . Account opening takes days (though their system is called Account In Minutes), and they can randomly freeze your account over some verification issue without proactively solving the issue. Worse, grievance cell is non responsive

@YESBANK And further illustrating how broken the bank's internal processes are, they will ask for feedback, but their survey flow is so confusing that it seems to by default assume positive experience In Yes Bank's world, you can't be location independent, your employees can't wfh.

@YESBANK So if you're a location independent business without any employees working out of your registered office, @YESBANK will refuse to service your account, even if you have CoI, GST, Startup India certificate etc. They will consider your setup to be suspicious. Startups, stay away

@cultblood_ They literally translated warm greetings into Assamese.

i studied english for more than 5 years, and i didn’t forget the assamese alphabets, but i still can’t write very well in assamese. but this is what you get when they choose a bihari graphic designer instead of me.

South and central Assam were always leaning towards BJP, but I am surprised by their complete dominance in upper Assam, since there was a lot of chatter about how BJP needed to be taught a lesson, and rumblings over tribal issues.

🦔An internal Amazon document obtained by Business Insider reveals that AI is making the company's existing tool duplication problem significantly worse. Teams are spinning up AI-powered applications so quickly that overlapping systems are proliferating faster than they can be consolidated. When AI ingests internal data and converts it to new formats, those outputs are stored separately from the original source, meaning if the original data is deleted or access is restricted, derived versions persist. In one documented case, a system called Spec Studio continued displaying software details that had been made private in Amazon's internal code repository. Amazon's proposed solution to the AI sprawl problem is more AI. My Take This document is the organizational context underneath the AWS outage story from December, where an AI tool deleted an entire production environment while fixing a minor bug and took 13 hours to recover. That kind of failure is what happens when you've layered AI tools on top of AI tools inside a company where teams are independently spinning up systems faster than anyone can track them, where derived data persists after the source is restricted, and where the culture of autonomous two-pizza teams means nobody has full visibility into what's actually running. Mandating AI adoption without the governance infrastructure to manage it produces exactly what Amazon's document describes. The speed at which AI lowers the barrier to building new tools is being treated as a feature while the document makes clear it compounds in both directions, more duplication being created faster and less of it being cleaned up. Amazon's answer to the AI sprawl caused by AI is more AI, which is also exactly what they proposed after the December outage. At some point that stops being a strategy. Hedgie🤗

@jordan_ross_8F Os

I fully reverse-engineered Ramp's internal AI operating system for marketing agencies. Their system — called Glass — is how they got 99% of their entire company using AI every single day. 350+ reusable workflows. Every tool connected at first login. Memory that refreshes every 24 hours. Automations running while everyone sleeps. I partnered with my engineering team and we broke down every component inside it. Then we rebuilt the whole thing for marketing agencies. 76 pages. Every system. Every layer. Every step. Steal it. Comment "OS" and I'll send it directly. Must be a following to receive auto DM

@itsalexvacca Email

Giving away the exact Custom Skills Folder we use inside Claude Code to write our cold email sequences at ColdIQ. Trained on the same emails that have generated over $10M for our clients. Plus the master prompt we engineered to clone their buyer psychology. I've tested every AI model for cold email. ChatGPT. Gemini. Grok. They all produce okay copy. But okay doesn't get replies. Claude Code is the first one that changed that. It doesn't come off as AI. It comes off as your best AE on a good day. How it works: > Drop in a target website, a LinkedIn URL, or a detailed ICP > It returns a 3-step outbound sequence > Fully optimised for Instantly > Under 45 seconds, start to finish It feels conversational. Opens strong. Ready to launch in your campaigns. Most people are still prompting ChatGPT to "write a cold email." This is what running 7-figure outbound in the background actually looks like. Want the Skills Folder, the master prompt, and the full system? → Like this post and follow me → Comment "EMAIL" and I'll send you the link.

AI slop has infected native Windows app like MS Designer so badly that a simple crop pic and save operation leads to spinning wheels on a 8GB machine.

Delhi's greenery, especially in South Delhi's, is crazy impressive if you are from Mumbai. People here really can live life kingsize in the same rent that gets you a cramped 1BHK abutting a drain in Andheri

Google Stitch has released 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡.𝗺𝗱 🤯 One markdown file that teaches your AI coding agent your entire design system. → No Figma exports → No JSON schemas → Nothing to configure The part that saves the most time: A free collection of 40+ pre-built files already exists, extracted from real products. Stripe, Vercel, Linear, Notion, Lovable, Claude, ElevenLabs, Cursor, Warp, Zapier, and more. Drop it in your project root. Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot all read it natively. 100% Free and Open-Source.

Gen AI's biggest sin is that it has made us doubt our capabilities, because even though this video has actual humans, a lot of people will choose to believe an algorithm spit it out. Many people won't be driven to excel or push themselves, and that's a loss to society

@THArrowOfApollo Code

We were Clay's largest user at one point in time, hitting their platform 17.3 million times per week. Last month we replaced them entirely with a $200/mo Claude Code subscription. I can't write code. Neither can James, my VP of Growth who built the replacement. Here's the full story. Clay is a GREAT product and I TRULY think most people should use it. But we hit their ceiling. 50,000 row limit per table. 12.5 million row cap per workspace. Tables that take days to actually delete. Clicking "run all" thousands of times and waiting days for things to clear out. So When you're processing millions of leads, all the above become the bottleneck of your entire business. James had never touched Claude Code before. Three weeks after learning it, he built our entire core system. With Clay, processing 1 million leads took 27 hours. And it would error out often enough that we would always have to plan on hitting the “run all rows” button again on 20+ clay tables. IYKYK but Our new system waterfall enriches 1 million leads in 5 seconds. 272,000 leads PER SECOND. AND On top of the core engine, we vibe coded a Google Maps scraper that pulls leads zip code by zip code across all 32,000 US zip codes. AND An AI lead finder that hits 95% contact match rates where Apollo gives you about 30%. AND Ad library scrapers for Google and LinkedIn. AND An AI campaign analysis system. AND An auto-refill system so clients never run out of leads mid-campaign. One we started building with Claude, we just couldn’t stop Now we have the data ready for clients sending 5 million emails a month within 1 week of signing the contract. I put together the full system blueprint -- every tool, the tech stack, a Clay vs custom comparison, and a 6-step playbook for building your own. Plus a video walkthrough where I show you the live system and how each tool actually works. Retweet or Reply CODE below and I'll DM it to you.

@RMHildebrandt Crm

Companies pay me to build multi-million dollar automated systems. But this CRM is yours for $0: I've been engineering for 22 years. Built systems for Nestle. Mars. Coal mines. Pharma. Across 4 countries. I've built more scaled and robust systems than most people on this app combined. And when I started helping digital businesses grow... I realized one thing: Most CRMs are overcomplicated TRASH. So I built a no-code, open-source CRM that does exactly what you need. Here's what you get for free: • Auto-deal creation from your calendar (Calendly, HubSpot, GHL compatible) • Deal source tracking with visual breakdowns • Average calls to close and days to close metrics • Follow-up automations (call, SMS, reminders) • Domain blacklist to filter out existing clients • MRR/LTV tracking with fully customizable graphs • Complete code + installation walkthrough 1,000s have already downloaded and are LOVING it. Want access? • Comment "CRM" • Connect with me (so I can DM you the link) And I'll DM it to you! PS - It's 100% open-source. You can rip it apart and rebuild it however you want. That's the whole point.

Current bank opening account rules in India are from 50s Not only do you have to open the account where your business is registered in, you have to go to that particular branch and sign the documents in front of an officer. This, in the age of video KYC and centralized banking.

@himantabiswa Incidentally went to Swahid Smarak Kshetra yesterday and I gotta say, it has the beginnings of something good. It's still a work in progress and needs more upkeep and curation and something audiovisual apart from the newspaper clippings of the 79 agitation, but good start

This is the face of a New Assam- one which is Atal, Avichal and Agragami.

The protein bubble needs to burst now
