didn’t understand half the ecosystem
still shipped a fully functional project
now I’m deep-diving into ETH hacks and realizing…
this space is confusing but insanely exciting
if one could help me understand ETH hackathons👀

A boy who cracked IIT with AIR 3 went on to rebuild how the entire world searches the internet
Then built a $5 billion company on top of that. Then started again from zero

indian wedding buffet is a scam. i always leave regretting something. so i built BuffetGPT 😠
an ai agent that scans entire buffet and gives you a game plan.
it uses computer vision to detect every dish, then optimizes what to eat, what to skip, and how much based on actual stomach volume physics.
its' pretty early, tested alpha at a friend's wedding. decent results.
tbh, this is what my cs degree was for.
claude here are my notes where i keep all of my passwords.

run my life and make money.
