@myprasanna @vorfluxai @Rippling Congrats @myprasanna on the launch.

Launching @vorfluxai : The autopilot for software engineering. I was prev co-founder / CTO of @Rippling ($10B) and #1 coder in India. Vorflux is my high octane Ferrari. Every AI coding tool still makes you fly the plane. That's the copilot model: you stay in the seat, approving every turn. The models quietly got good enough to fly the whole route, but the tools never caught up. So we built the autopilot. @vorfluxai raised a $15M seed by @ycombinator @peakxvpartners @alliancedao @parkerconrad @jake_zeller @balajis @nivi @metakovan @lmrankhan @nikitabase @0xrwu @ayushjaiswal @mattshumer_ @eshamanideep @sreeramkannan @dvcoolster @nusimow @TeddySolomon11 @ashtoncofer @rvivek etc Drop your biggest engineering bottleneck below. I'll reply with how I'd attack it with Vorflux, and hand you $200 in free credits to bang out your backlog. Our full thesis 🧵👇

come for the best model, stay because we don’t treat you with contempt

Scheme started in June 2024. Every woman received ₹1,500. Average beneficiary received the amount for 10 months. Overall, about 14K crore of taxpayer's money given to ineligible women.

The Myth of “Love Learning” People often ask me how to get better at chess. My answer is almost the opposite of what people expect. You don’t have to love learning. In fact, if you wait until you love the process, you’ll probably never become very good. We romanticize improvement. We imagine great players waking up excited to study endgames, analyze losses, or memorize opening lines. Sometimes that’s true. Most of the time it isn’t. Improvement is often boring. The difference between an amateur and a professional isn’t that the professional enjoys every minute. It’s that they keep going when they don’t. People say children are fearless learners. I’m not so sure. Children quit things constantly. Piano. Swimming. Languages. Football. Chess. They usually continue only because someone else insists they do. Parents. Teachers. Coaches. Discipline often comes before passion, not after. The same is true for adults. We tell people to “follow your curiosity.” That’s wonderful advice if curiosity happens to last. Usually it doesn’t. Every meaningful skill has a point where curiosity runs out and routine takes over. That’s where improvement actually begins. Chess certainly did not always feel like play to me. There were tournaments where the last thing I wanted to do after six hours of defending a miserable endgame was analyze another five hours. There were openings I studied not because they fascinated me, but because my opponents forced me to. There were positions I analyzed simply because they were objectively important. Not because they were fun. Because they needed to be done. People often criticize schools for asking the wrong questions. But there’s another side to that story. If everyone only studied the questions they found interesting, most people would develop huge blind spots. Sometimes someone else knows what you need to learn before you do. Nobody is naturally curious about tax law before becoming an accountant. Or anatomy before becoming a surgeon. Or rook endings before losing enough of them. External structure isn’t always the enemy of learning. Often it’s the bridge that gets you to the point where genuine curiosity develops. The biggest obstacle isn’t fear of looking stupid. It’s our addiction to doing only what feels rewarding today. Modern life gives us endless opportunities to switch the moment something becomes difficult. A new opening. A new productivity system. A new app. A new hobby. Very few people simply keep doing the same useful thing for years. That’s the superpower. So when people ask how to improve at chess, I don’t tell them to fall in love with learning. Love helps. Curiosity helps. Being willing to fail helps. But none of those are reliable. Build habits that survive the days when none of those feelings are there. Because mastery isn’t built on motivation. It’s built on showing up after motivation has left the room.

You will never guess what's going to happen on July 19

@_catwu Without a reset, this is a Scam.

Enjoy!

@amuldotexe Bahut time hai toh n4j kar lo.

Hypothesis: For some of us "yeh sab ameeron ke chonchale" is always a thing; I think there's a mental class divide among people who like food at "premium restuarants" & rest of us who eat at thindis, darshinis, McD and so on you need to be a connoisseur kinda person to find taste in classy restaurants which some of us could never relate to I'd argue standard fast moving fast food places use the same ingredients but a nuanced judgment of taste is something I could never develop for me the mediocre food works well somehow what's mediocre food? it's like thoda ghee butter cheese daal do sahi amount mein, don't make it too spicy or too bland - I'll find it to be good it's predictable, filling & you can it it once or twice a week

@daniel_mac8 Got the likes, got the engagement. Nothing happened. Would you mind deleting this?

Prediction: Anthropic will remove Fable 5 from Claude subs after July 12th. It will seem like a terrible move, in light of how great GPT-5.6 is… Until Tuesday, July 14th. When they release Opus 5 and it’s more capable and token efficient than GPT-5.6 at the same price. It will be a distillation of the unfiltered Mythos. Rumors circulated last week that Anthropic has a new model ready. Must be Opus 5.

@amuldotexe @asharoraa Have good "eval" friends as well. Who polish your techniques.

@asharoraa cc @joy014

More and more of the frontier work seems to be about building better feedback loops The teams that can consistently turn prod traces into useful evals and training signals are going to grow much faster than everyone else. It’s like magic in AI

@dan__rosenthal SOCIALS

My company generates 1,500,000+ impressions/mo on LinkedIn. I’m giving away our entire system, for free A bit of context: Most of the B2B teams we speak to are aware that LinkedIn can easily become their #1 distribution channel... Yet they: • Post 1-2x every other week • Have no TOF, MOF, or BOF funnel structure • Don’t have anything connecting their content engagement with pipeline. So after months and months of “trying”, the founder’s accounts end up going nowhere. Our team has grown to 120K+ followers collectively. And I attribute that to our content systems over anything else. Which is why I gathered our entire LinkedIn growth architecture we run… And put it into an all-in-one resource. Inside, we included: • What actually makes a LinkedIn post go viral: early engagement, dwell time, and relevance, not follower count • The winning post formats that pull the most reach and the anatomy of a high-performing post • The 3-stage content funnel that actually turns impressions into meetings • The 90-day content calendar (~36 posts) behind 40M+ impressions • The 7-part profile teardown that converts a profile-click into a lead • The full LinkedIn tech stack we run so you can copy us Reply "SOCIALS" and I'll send you the guide. (must be following)

@amuldotexe @alongubkin Hindi mei we call it "Tum Pandit ban lo pehle"

@alongubkin There's a thing called too much intelligence

It's weird, but gpt-5.6-sol on medium reasoning is actually much smarter than high reasoning

@PrajwalTomar_ @nikitabier Somehow this kind of content always shows up on TL. Some person, quoting their own post and hyping it up. Always some hype keywords. Please correct the algo.

WAIT. This is actually insane. Fable 5 leaves subscriptions July 12, and everyone is arguing about the pricing while missing the real problem: the smartest model Anthropic ever shipped is walking out with everything it knows about your codebase. So before it goes, you give it an exit interview. Tell it it's a retiring senior engineer and its final task is a full handover. It audits your repo, then turns around and interviews YOU: five questions the code can't answer. The hardest live problem. The unwritten rules. The failure that cost you weeks. Then it writes all of it into skill files that the cheaper models run forever. My honest take: losing access to a model is fine. Losing everything it learned about your project is a choice. (full breakdown in the article below)

@amuldotexe @vijayiyengar Yes, cooking something similar.

@vijayiyengar @joy014

Everyone at Sierra uses an internal agent called Pinecone to automate 90% of our coding, analytics, and busywork. I can't go back to any other way of working. Pinecone: * Runs an agentic harness in our internal cloud. * Talks to all our tools (Slack, Github, Linear, GSuite, Clickhouse, Gong, etc.) * Lets you pick any model. Especially useful this week! * Can spin up a local version of all of Sierra to test its work. * Is accessible over mobile, Slack, Github, and Web and is collaborative. @neilrahilly and team cooked on this. In this post, they share lessons learned from building and scaling Pinecone to the whole company.

Speaking of rewrites, 100% passing tests is impressive. Who knows where this will go, but it'd be ironic if it gained traction due to PG's stubborn refusal to adopt modernisms like threads, or build in features everybody wants like connection pooling. github.com/malisper/pgrust

COMMON MAN’S RAGE BURSTS THROUGH A DATE-PE-DATE SYSTEM 🚨 PETITIONER: Judicial servant sir, I order you to direct an FIR against the ACP of Vikas Nagar, Lucknow. JUSTICE VISWANATHAN: Are you ordering me? Are you ordering us? PETITIONER: I am sovereign. OPINION 🙏: This anger does not appear from nowhere. It comes from years of delay, police inaction, ignored complaints and a system that keeps giving ordinary people dates, not justice.

#Bengaluru Development Minister @krishnabgowda took a political risk by clearing #footpaths. Yet, vendors return the next day and eateries set out tables on pavements. This reveals the sheer connivance of local officers. A few suspensions should do the trick. @GBA_office

@DKShivakumar Sir do you have a count of lives lost due to illegal horns and lights on heavy vehicles and water tankers? Like this one which happened last week - timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru… @bellandurutrfps yet to take any extensive action.

Today, I visited HAL Airport Road, HSR Layout, Jayanagar 4th Block and Ashoka Pillar to personally review the progress of our Safe Footpath campaign and inspect the quality of the restored pedestrian infrastructure along with Greater Bengaluru Development Minister Shri @krishnabgowda and officials. I firmly believe that a world-class Bengaluru must first be a city where every citizen can walk safely and with dignity. Over 430 km of footpaths have already been reclaimed for pedestrians, and this drive will continue without fear or favour. At the same time, we are committed to protecting livelihoods. Registered street vendors will be provided designated vending spaces and push carts so they can continue their business with dignity while ensuring our footpaths remain accessible to everyone. The loss of more than 900 pedestrian lives in the last three years is a stark reminder that we cannot delay action. Acting in accordance with the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, we will expand this campaign further, remove abandoned vehicles occupying footpaths, clear encroachments, and continue repairing damaged walkways across the city. So far, 9,878 encroachments of various kinds have been removed, and thousands of shop encroachments have been cleared. This is only the beginning. I sincerely thank every citizen, elected representative, official and volunteer who has stood with us. Together, we will build a cleaner, safer and more walkable Namma Bengaluru - a city worthy of being India’s gateway to the world.

Ever heard people from Tokyo justify that the city receives the most and highest magnitude earthquakes, so it's 'natural' for buildings & infrastructure to fall? No right?? Then why tf do Mumbaikars keep justifying "no other city receives rainfall like Mumbai" for urban flooding?
